About Exam Preparation

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

The largest group of resources is for school-level English Language exams. The mind map GCSE AQA English Language Paper 1 breaks the paper into Questions 1 to 5, with marks for each: 4, 8, 8, 20 and 40. The notes titled language paper 1 explain Question 1 using a Wolverine River extract, where four marks mean four points about the baby. You will also find sets on Paper 2, command words, IGCSE English Language questions and the Edexcel 9-1 Paper 1 reminders.

First Certificate and other language tests

Many notes follow the First Certificate Use of English parts. Part 2 is gap fill, with a text called The Facebook party that became a riot. Part 3 is word formation, with a text on video games. Part 4 is keyword transformation, in a flashcard deck. There are also resources for C1 Advanced, IELTS Speaking, TOEFL vocabulary and reading questions.

Vocabulary for GRE, SAT and SSAT

A big share of the flashcards is word lists. Examples include GRE 333 words and 66 Most Common SAT Words (Ineffable - Obstinate). Quizzes such as GRE Text Completions 2 and Analogies Test 01 (English Verbal Section) let you use those words in context.

A sensible order

  1. Choose your exam and open its mind map first, to see the structure.
  2. Read the notes for the question or part you find hardest.
  3. Take a quiz on that part and note which answers you missed.
  4. Go back to flashcards for the words or phrases that caught you out.
  5. Repeat with a different paper or part.
