10 Mistakes to avoid in GCSE Latin exams
|
I have been very busy organising the new sections for my Latin GCSE self-paced revision course - yes, even a little bit while on the lovely island of Sardinia! In case you wonder what type of person is thinking about examinations during holidays, I must say that it is precisely thanks to studying Latin that I developed a love for history, languages and exploration, which has led me to the me to the most amazing places, like the alluring archaeological remains you are seeing on the picture. Naturally, I would like Latin to be a source of fun, not pain, for young students! Anyway, as I was exploring this fantastic island and the sea nearby, I was also thinking about making Latin exams a less painful part of the learning experience. There was a recurring theme: students need to be told how to avoid the most usual mistakes. So, now that I am back in the office and marking some of the many GCSE papers I am getting as part of mocks revision, I have decided to go live next Monday to talk about avoiding key mistakes and making sure a 9 is on the cards. If you would like to attend, just go to the preview and click on the "notify me" link. I will also take the opportunity to answer your questions live and open registration for the new extended revision course. Make sure you come and find out all about it! If you cannot make it, you can also email me your questions ahead by replying to this email. |
