The Exampro Quick
Guide provides an overview of the
subject database's features and functions, while
the Teacher Guide gives a more
in-depth view of the capabilities of Exampro.
Examiners' reports from examination boards are carefully written and contain a great deal of insight
from experienced examiners on the difficulties students encounter in answering questions.
Unfortunately, the expert knowledge contained in the examiners' reports can be difficult to distil and turn into
practical classroom activities. Accessing reports is made easier by software such as:
Testbase (QCA);
Exampro (AQA);
But, even then, searching through 5 years' worth of reports to find exactly where students have gone wrong
is very time-consuming
for a teacher.
The idea of an ExaCt analysis is that a summary of the examiners' reports can be produced by
asking experienced
examiners to
categorise salient problems mentioned in the reports using
some simple categories.
Exampro and AQA have produced an
ExaCt analysis for Double Award Science.
If you have a licence to a current issue
of any GCSE Exampro Science (Biology, Physics, Double Award Science),
enter it here and you will be taken to the ExaCt analysis where you will be
able to investigate what problems students encounter in the topics
that you teach.
