Below is a notebook file containing some GCSE questions from old (but still relevant!) linear papers. I wanted to see if my students were able to answer exam questions that they had not seen before. The timer helps students who are easily distracted get started straight away instead of spending a few minutes chatting to peers! I tried this with my year 11's who are mainly grade D/C students, with some aiming for grade B. I used this for an after-school revision session but it could also be used during lesson time. We worked together as a class, tried the question in the time given, then went through the question together. My class were extremely motivated (thanks to the timer) and also managed well under timed pressure with some showing a competitive side.
You might want to try it as a different revision exercise, the idea can also be adapted and used for any topic. It also saves printing!
