Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
Foundation tier papers may include questions in which you have to complete a sentence. Some of these questions include words to choose from in a box. You do not have to use all the words - some of them will be wrong.
These questions have been written by Bitesize consultants as suggestions to the types of questions that may appear in an exam paper.
