Pupils can record their scores throughout the year using the Pupil Record Sheet below. There are many ways in which the scores can be recorded, here are some examples to get you started:
Give yourself a maximum of 5 minutes to complete as many of the questions as possible. If you complete the sheet within the 5 minutes, record your time. Then check your answers and add 20 seconds for any errors. If you do not complete all of the questions within the 5 minute limit, again check your answers and add the number of errors to the number of unanswered questions to calculate the total number of gaps. Record the final time or number of gaps on the pupil record sheet for the correct skill.
Complete the questions as quickly and as accurately as possible without a time limit and record the finish time. Then add 20 seconds for each error to arrive at a final time. Record this time in the correct skill using the pupil record sheet.
You will see an improvement in your scores and times as you practise.
