Exam structure
WJEC GCSEs have 2–3 papers of 1h 30m–2h each. A Levels retain a modular AS + A2 structure in Wales (unusual among UK boards) — AS is worth 40% and A2 60% of the final A Level grade.
Grading & scoring
WJEC GCSEs in Wales are still graded A*–G; Eduqas GCSEs in England are graded 9–1. A Levels are A*–E with UMS at unit level.
Exam strategy & time management
- 1Read the command word first — 'state', 'explain', 'evaluate' and 'discuss' each demand a different depth.
- 2Use ~1 minute per mark as a pacing baseline and mark questions to return to rather than stalling.
- 3Show every step in maths and physics — mark schemes award method (M1/M2) marks even when the final answer is wrong.
- 4Quote data, dates or equations directly from the question to trigger 'application' marking points.
- 5Leave 5–10 minutes at the end to check units, significant figures and unanswered parts.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Ignoring the command word and writing a generic answer.
- ✕Losing marks by omitting units, direction or significant-figure rounding.
- ✕Confusing 'describe' (what happens) with 'explain' (why it happens).
- ✕Skipping working in calculation questions and losing method marks.
- ✕Running out of time on 6-mark extended questions at the end of the paper.
