Host: Brian is a History and Sociology teacher with 26 years experience. He is also an examiner with two exam boards, so he likes to focus on material and techniques that will best help students when it comes to exam time.Taking a look at past papers is an incredibly valuable way to measure how ready you are for an exam or assessment. By using past examples you can get a sense of what assessors will be asking so you aren't thrown off by unexpected surprises.
In this class, students will work through a past exam paper for GCSE Sociology on 'Sociology of the Family', looking at how to answer an exam question, gaining skills which can be applied to every subject.
This is a fantastic chance to get first hand insight into how examiners read and mark exams which can hugely help students consider what is important when they take their exams and when considering how teachers will assess their work.
