[3]Common Entrance maths revision
Six weeks, three short sessions a week, and a ten-minute mental test twice a week.
The six-week plan
| Week | Revise | Then |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fractions, decimals, percentages | Mental test 1 |
| 2 | Ratio, proportion, time and speed | Mental test 2 |
| 3 | Algebra: brackets, equations, sequences | Mental test 3 |
| 4 | Angles, polygons, area, circles | Mock 1, timed |
| 5 | Averages, probability, and Mock 1 gaps | Mental tests again |
| 6 | Mixed questions and problem solving | Mock 2, timed |
How each session runs
- Five minutes of last week's topic, from memory.
- One interactive lesson on the new topic.
- Five exam questions, with working written out.
- Mark them and redo any you lost.
The mental test needs speed
40 questions in 10 minutes is 15 seconds each. Ten minutes, twice a week, makes the difference: the free mental arithmetic test has three full tests with the method for every question.
