Send me the checklistIn short
The Year 11 Maths Mock Checklist is a free six-page PDF from The Tutors Room for students sitting GCSE maths mocks. It shows ten common slips that cost marks, each with the line that loses the mark and the line that keeps it. It also sets out the papers for AQA, Edexcel and OCR, what to pack the night before, and a three-week revision plan.
What is inside the checklist
- Ten marks you can stop giving away. The slips that cost marks for students who do know the maths. Each one shows the line that loses the mark, the line that keeps it, and the fix.
- Know your papers. How many papers, how long, and which one is non-calculator, for AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
- The night before. What to pack and what to check.
- A three-week plan. What to do each week between now and the mock.
How to use it in the three weeks before the mock
Week 1: sit one full paper, timed.
Mark it, then list every question that lost marks with the topic next to it.
Week 2: fix the three topics that cost the most.
Do ten questions on each, then redo the questions that went wrong on the paper without looking at the solution.
Week 3: sit a second full paper.
Compare the two lists. What is still on the list is what to ask a teacher or tutor about.
Who the checklist is for
- Year 11 students sitting GCSE maths mocks this term.
- Parents who want to know what to check, without re-learning the maths themselves.
