It explains how to use mock exams as assessment for learning, transforming collected data into actionable insights for heads of department, teachers, and students. The session details student and cohort mock exam analysers, gap identification by topic level, and re-assessment through suggested plans. It also recommends revision resources: mixed topic tasks, topic-specific resources, and knowledge tests, including specific tools and health-warning guidance about grade-based difficulty.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/gcse-maths-the-final-countdown-preparing-for-summer-exams/619167/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/gcse-maths-the-final-countdown-preparing-for-summer-exams/619167.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Lucas Martin","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation","2026-11-02","2026-10-20",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",5,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How does the session suggest using mock exams for student improvement?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Mock exams are presented as a strong source of assessment for learning.
