A 50 slide powerpoint covering the content of Unit 1.
I use it as a promt for me to go through the whole course at a rapid rate with quick fire questions.
Images where they are relevant, bullet points, bright colours used to attract student attention
This spread sheet has 3 tabs - all of which link to Edexcel A Level/ AS Level Exam Papers
Tab 1: Nicely lays out all past A Level / AS papers in a table with Hyper links to the Question Paper, Mark Scheme and Examiners Report. ( I ask my students to down load this and highlight the boxes of the papers they have printed/ practiced)
**Tab 2: **Spreadsheets every single past A Level/ AS question, from unlocked Edexcel Business papers: they can search by year, paper, marks available, spec point etc - again with a link to the paper, mark scheme and examiners report (this is the most valuable tab - students can use this like teachers can use exam wizard, it saves us searching for questions for them)
Tab 3: Less useful really than tab 2, but it was my starting point for Tab 2, it is a spread sheet of each paper, and what the questions are based on for each paper. It would form a great basis for an analysis as to what questions have not yet been covered in the past papers, I just haven’t gotten that far yet.
Enjoy :)
