Revision Plan

This revision plan based on the topics in the summary sheets at the beginning of the Revision Pack. It is certainly best to do revision on a topic by topic basis, rather than just doing whole exam papers. We have therefore left the most recent papers out from the lists of questions, so that you can do those as actual exam practice, in the week before the exam.
For each topic you should
• Read the summary sheet and try to understand the examples.
• Attempt the suggested exam questions, doing the section A questions first, then the section B questions.
• Make a note of the questions you cannot do, and seek help from friends or from teachers at tutorials when you return
If you find the questions very difficult, look at the theory and examples in the text book and the videos. Work through easier exercises first, like the multiple choice tests on the MEI website, before returning to the exam questions.
