Revision help from AQA

AQA provides a variety of support materials that will help to prepare candidates for their FSMQ or AS: Use of Mathematics examinations. As well as past papers and examiners' reports there are also exemplar answers for each question on last year's paper.

The support materials that are available are listed below:

Exemplar Answers
These have been taken from actual student scripts (June 2007 papers). A commentary from a senior examiner accompanies the candidate response along with a copy of the question and the mark scheme. Each exemplar is either a very good response or a poor response that illustrates a common misconception.

Data Sheets – will be sent from AQA before the examinations
Ideally these should be distributed 2 weeks before the examination and used to familiarise candidates with the contexts that they will meet in the questions. The most successful centres discuss a variety of questions that could be based on the information provided in the Data Sheets. The candidates themselves could be asked to devise possible questions and methods of solution.
