How Will I Know the Specific Areas I Need to Work On? How Do I Ensure I Am Not Revising What I Know Already?

Use the assessment you complete after each unit and specific feedback you have received from your teacher to identify the areas that you need to improve. Ask your teacher for feedback from your end of unit test scores.

If you are still struggling, then you must come and get additional help from your teacher, including attending lesson 6.
