Year 11 BTEC sneaky revision plan
Whatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise.
BTEC students sit a single paper called Unit 8 – Applications of Science in March. The paper is all about
planning, analysing and evaluating experiments. The following outline plan is advised for independent
study at home.
Using the CGP BTEC First Award in Applications of Science Level 2 – Applications of Science – Unit 8

Year 11 Single Award sneaky revision plan
Whatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise.
Single Award students sit 3 papers in June – Biology, Chemistry and Physics. There are many different
revision books on the market and we encourage students to pick one they are comfortable with. We like
the CGP revision guides though. The topics are all the same in all the books though so just select the topic
to revise as appropriate. Whichever you use make sure you are using an AQA GCSE Science (not
additional) book published after 2011.

Year 10 Double Award sneaky revision plan
Whatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise. This
year Double Award students complete Core Biology, Chemistry and Physics but do not sit exams this year.
By revising topics now – this will ensure they do not pile up work for 6 exams in 2016. The topics are all the
same in all the revision books so just select the topic to revise as appropriate. Whichever you use make
sure you are using an AQA GCSE Science (not Additional Science) book published after 2011. Keep the
book for 2016’s exams!
