What do I do?

Here are some examples

Revision exercises• This is an example of a revision

exercise for GCSE Maths. • On the top right hand side you

can see the score and the number of screens of work in the exercise.

• With the scoring, you get a mark if the answer is correct the first time.

• If you answer incorrectly the answer drops back down with a line through it. You can carry on until you get the right answer – but you won’t get the mark for that question.
