What do I do?
Here are some
examples
Revision exercises
• This is an example of a revision
exercise for GCSE Maths.
• On the top right hand side you
can see the score and the
number of screens of work in the
exercise.
• With the scoring, you get a mark
if the answer is correct the first
time.
• If you answer incorrectly the
answer drops back down with a
line through it. You can carry on
until you get the right answer –
but you won’t get the mark for
that question.
