There are three keys to success in exams: subject knowledge, exam technique and confidence. The sooner pupils begin to practice these the better they will become at answering exam questions, leading to them building the skills needed for success when they reach GCSE level.
 
Our KS3 D&T homework pack has been written by examiners and outstanding teachers. It contains two separate worksheets for every point of the new KS3 Design and Technology national curriculum programme of study, written in the style of exam questions. These are each supported by an associated mark scheme. The questions can be printed and set as homework activities to support the lessons covering each area of subject knowledge, or for revision of topics covered. They can then be used as a peer assessment activity with students marking each others’ work, or marked by teachers.
 
By using these worksheets, learners can consolidate or develop their subject knowledge. They can also increase their understanding of what exam questions ask for and how to answer them – therefore also helping to increase their confidence. This enables them to build early on the three key areas that they will need for success in their exams when they reach GCSE!
