GCSE questions and answers by topic

[QueenMabby]

DS is in year 10 and is studying for his end of year exams. Obviously he’s on his gcse syllabuses and he wants to test his revision by doing sample gcse questions.
He wants to be able to have sets of these (with mark schemes) by topic so that he can test as he goes along with his revision as obviously he’s not done all the syllabus so printing out a past paper is a bit of a waste.
We have Seneca and he uses that but he wants to do some in writing like he would in real exams.
I’m struggling to help him find anything suitable. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Physics and maths tutor website for science questions broken down by exam board and topic.

Agree with PP that physics and maths tutor website is great for maths and science. What other subjects do you need? I found googling "GCSE revision questions " often brings up gems - you do need to be prepared to weed through to find what you want though.

Don't write off past papers - teachers generally work through in a logical order, so it's likely that you'll find he's covered everything on Paper 1 but none of Paper 2, or that where it's a subject with clearly demarcated topic questions (e.g. Geography) you can do the questions on the topics he's covered but not the others iyswim.

Thanks. Will look at those for maths and science.
He’s doing three sciences, maths, Lang and lit, geog, history Spanish and ICT.

These were used by school in year 11.
CGP exam practice

Maths - maths genie, Corbett maths, maths4everyone

BBC Bitesize has a pretty good GCSE section.
The CGP revision guides are popular but they also do exam practice workbooks in most subjects. Our students can buy them through our school at a discounted rate. Might be worth asking if your school has similar.

Maths Made Easy website has this broken down by syllabus area for Maths and Sciences (individual and combined). You can work through 100s of sample gcse questions by topic area and it also has the mark scheme/answers as separate files so they can be marked. Fantastic resource.

I agree with the pp who said last papers are still useful.

Eng lit - I presume there are texts or at least one text he has finished by now - so print off that question from the past paper.

Eng Lang is more skills based so past papers there will be generally useful.

Spanish (my subject) - is he doing F or H? There will b topics he has covered, so search through the papers for writing questions on (for example) hobbies or family. You could pull together the reading or listening questions on topics he has covered from the two past papers available to make at least a half paper. The reason past papers are good of course is that mark schemes help you to improve.

Thanks everyone that’s given me some great places to start looking. Clary he’ll be doing the higher paper and I’ll look at the past papers for that. Any steer for listening??

Listening tasks will be in the workbook, and listening past papers are on website, so trawl through them for the questions on the relevant topics.

He might end up doing things again eg in class but that's not the end of the world IMO

Also ask him what resources he has access to via school. I didn't realise how many things are available until a teacher reeled some of them off at a parents' evening.

Thank you. Will sit down with him at the weekend and have a trawl through the school VLE.
