Expert guidance for exam success in secondary school mathematics exams via bespoke exam technique guides written by senior examiners
At Showthat Education, we provide high quality, bespoke exam technique guides, written by senior examiners who are experts in their field. These guides have specific examples of typical candidate work which exemplifies each point being discussed. This is based on actual candidate responses and explains where candidates typically lose marks for poor exam technique.
The author has been a senior examiner for several major exam boards and has many years of experience leading teams of examiners in both pure and applied mathematics examinations, across all levels of secondary education, both in the UK and internationally. He has been Principal Examiner for several UK examination boards and has worked extensively with both UK and International A level Mathematics/A level Further Mathematics, as well as IGCSE/O level Mathematics. He has also worked for Ofqual, the UK examination board regulatory body, on several major projects.
With many students being taught by non-specialists, and the growth of home schooling, these guides provide a bridge between examiner expectations and candidate awareness of what is expected of them in an examination.
These guides are designed to be universal, and applicable to all secondary school mathematics specifications.
There is both an ebook and a hardcopy available for purchase
Written by a senior examiner, featuring typical candidate work at both GCSE level (or equivalent) and GCE A level (or equivalent), commentary and full guidance to help you avoid the things candidates readily lose marks for such as: setting out work, accuracy, showthat questions, proof questions, command words and many more.
Analysis of candidate work is used to exemplify each point, and to generate an in-depth discussion of common errors in pure mathematics exams, as well as in statistics and mechanics papers.
This exam technique guide will be valid for a candidates entire secondary school mathematics career.
Once purchased, the download link on the email receipt will allow you to access the eBook securely from EditionGuard

This book is a valuable resource to candidates who are preparing to sit mathematics examinations either in the UK or internationally. The content covered in this book is relevant to all mathematics examinations, at all levels of secondary education. It is not designed to be a treatise of mathematical content, but rather a summary of pertinent points that consistently cause students to lose marks unnecessarily in each exam season. The aim of this book is to make candidates more aware of the things they can do to minimise the chances of marks being withheld due to ambiguous work or poor exam technique.
This book aims to bridge the gap between examiner expectations, and candidate awareness of what is expected of them in an examination. This is more prevalent now in view of the many candidates who are home schooled and may not necessarily receive this guidance. This guide is written by a senior examiner and contains typical candidate work, with commentary to exemplify each point.
