My PE exam at KS4
In order to help students consolidate their subject knowledge and understanding within our PE examination courses at KS4, we have purchased an account with the following website:
mypeexam.org
This website will allow all students to log in and recap key terminology and content covered within lessons. Usernames and passwords will be provided to the students so they can access their accounts anywhere. It will be used within lessons and outside of lessons during intervention and for homework.
The purpose of the students using this website is to allow them to master each topic that has been delivered by the teacher. In order to do this they will need to watch a video and then carry out a quiz. If the students watch the clip and pass the quiz they become a master within that topic area. Teachers will be able to track students’ progress and engagement as they will be able to see when the student last logged in and also what topics they have mastered and engaged with.
This website will help your son / daughter with the following examination courses:
- GCSE PE
- BTEC Level 2 (Year 10 cohort only)
