Topic Tests for T Level Technical Qualification in Science
Reveal your students’ strengths and weaknesses and track their progress!
Cleverly structured topic tests covering the content from:
- Paper A – Section D (A9, A10): Scientific Methodology, Equipment and Techniques – 8 tests
- Paper B – Sections A–C (B1): Core Science Concepts – 13 tests
- Paper B – Section D (B2): Further Science Concepts – 9 tests
Some good questions that will challenge students and a much needed resource in the current time as there are so few examples of good questions for the T level qualification
- Range of question styles – from labelling images to short- and long-answer questions – perfect preparation for the exam
- Real-life applications and authentic case studies – provide full appreciation of the link between theory and practice
- Detailed answers and mark allocations – great for peer- and self-assessment!
What do teachers say about this resource? (11682, 11683, 11685)
This is a collection of questions that may be of benefit to students studying for the T level paper B. It can also be useful as a source of revision resources for teachers to use in lessons or for writing mock exams, especially given the current lack of such resources from the exam board. I passed a copy of this resource around the students to let them read it and add their own comments. Many stated they would find it useful: "Helpful for revision and what might be on a test" and "helpful to look through it to see what the exam would be like". Looking at the resource, I feel it is an appropriate balance of difficulty and accessibility that allows all students to achieve. The educational value is allowing students to engage and practise with a resource that allows them to see the sort of questions they might encounter on the actual exam.
Some good questions that will challenge students and a much needed resource in the current time as there are so few examples of good questions for the T level qualification. The progression from simple (AO1) to hard (AO3) questions was appropriate and gave my students some confidence when tested with them. They had been concerned that they did not have good enough scientific knowledge and this showed them that they did know what they were doing. Practice exam questions are essential for any exam based qualification and the lack of these for the T level is a major problem presently.
This is a helpful resource for teaching and assessing T-Level students. This resource would probably be particularly helpful for any non-specialists picking up the physics content for B1. The content is split into sections accordingly and is easy to follow. This resource is helpful for the teachers and those delivering on T-level to check the progress and ability of students. Some of the questions could be utilised to bridge the gap between GCSE and T-Level. It could be used effectively as a tool to measure progress for students.
I think this is a good resource for learners to prepare for key aspects of the exams. I have to say I really like paper 6... I love the case study used, the questions and the inclusion of an image. It really brings the theme of the case study into the questions. This is a useful tool for short topic assessments and revision.
The topics covered represent the spec well.
This supports recall of information really well. I like the content, specifically the inclusion of graphs. Same high standards as all ZigZag materials; it is presented well. I would most definitely use this as a revision aid.
It is a good resource covering the topics well. I like the use of graphs throughout. I really like the link to health in paper 3, question 5. I feel this is a valuable revision and short assessment method for learners. I really like the use of images throughout. I feel the questions match the spec well in terms of the topics.
The presentation and layout is good. There are some good visual diagrams and a variety of question styles to challenge the student.
On the whole this is a really useful resource. There are very few available resources for the T Level in Health and learners find the science component very difficult. This is useful because it is accessible and covers the main specification content. It could be used effectively for end of topic tests. It could also be used for a mock exam before the exam, to identify any gaps in learning that need to be revised. I particularly liked the way it was divided into topics and the way it started with one mark answers and built up into questions which required more evaluation. This helps learners to scaffold their learning and will show the teacher clearly where any interventions need to be put in place for each learner. This resource enhances learning. It has relevant diagrams which complement the specification and the tasks are varied and allow the learners to use the knowledge they have learned. It follows the specification perfectly and is not too difficult or too easy. I think the presentation and layout is logical and accessible. The questions build on knowledge and are presented in a way that makes good use of diagrams and different assessment techniques. There is only one sample assessment paper from NCFE for students to practice their exam technique so this is a really invaluable resource. I love this resource! It is much needed this year for those colleges and schools who have just one biology paper to use for end of topic tests.
What do teachers say about this resource? (12462)
Fantastic amount of questions covering difficult aspects of A9 and A10. I absolutely love the exemplar answers as Core A can be difficult to know how to answer and for staff to mark.
This allows students to have a look at a variety of questions for Core A which is nicely split up too which means they can be used as mini topic tests.
What do teachers say about this resource? (12396)
A great collection of questions which will aid students in learning the content required for the core exams. All students who use it will be able to use these questions to enhance their revision.
