A 57 page revision guide designed for OCR A, paper 3 (Skills, Statistics & Fieldwork). Areas covered are: Grid References. Scale. Distance. Height. Fieldwork. Statistics. Q & A analysis. Synoptic Q & A. It differs from a conventional guide because on each page it provides students with actual tasks to complete. E.g. sorting, linking, drawing, SPaG, spot the mistakes etc. At the back there are dozens of questions that pupils can use the guide to help answer. The 2 statistic pages were printed on A3, laminated & provided to the pupils as last minute revision, whilst they were waiting to go into the exam hall. I printed lots off in colour and charged students £2 as well as providing them with a copy on disc. Some students just wanted a free disc copy & printed it at home. Please see my other guides. Although designed for OCR, most of the content is the same for other exam boards and it is very easily amended. This took dozens of hours to create and will be an superb time save resource that will really support students of all ability.
