We’ve created a spreadsheet showing how frequently different Dr Frost skills appear across GCSE past papers for each exam specification - for Edexcel this spans back 24 years of papers!
This allows you to identify the most frequently assessed skills so you can priotise revision and exam practice accordingly.
You can access the spreadsheet here.
What the spreadsheet includes
Each exam specification has its own tab containing:
- Dr Frost Skill ID - the number/ID of the skill, allowing you to quickly search for it on Dr Frost (e.g. 421h)
- Skill Name - the name of the skill
- Topic - the topic where the skill appears in our Dr Frost All Skills course
- Exam Usage in Spec - the number of times the skill appears across past papers (this is based only on papers currently available on the Dr Frost platform)
- Example - a link to a randomly generated example question
How to use the resource
- Open the spreadsheet and choose an exam specification from the tabs.
- Browse the skills by exam usage.
- Use the skill IDs or example question links to explore practice questions for each skill.
If your school subscribes to Dr Frost, you can also:
