H555/01 Physiological Factors with Alice Allen and Wes Davis Friday 6th February | 9.00am – 12.30pm

Outline: This Mock-to-Mastery session explores the most challenging areas of Applied anatomy, Exercise physiology and Biomechanics through innovative, evidence informed teaching strategies. You’ll receive a data-led breakdown of mock misconceptions, high-impact memory tools, synoptic structures and ready-to-deliver revision tasks for immediate classroom impact.

What’s Included

Top topic radar
A rigorous analysis of under-examined physiological content, highlighting exam gaps and revision priorities

Post-mock recovery & momentum-building ideas
Strategies to repair misconceptions emerging from paper 1 mock papers, including:

• step-by-step reteaching sequences
• segmentation and forward-chaining models
• teacher modelling tasks
• mark-scheme walkthroughs
• the A* “4-in-4” Challenge

Tough topic memory toolkit
Memory-enhancing strategies for difficult physiological concepts, including:

• mnemonics and acronyms
• progressive chaining
• dual-coded visuals
• cognitive load–friendly explanation structures

Synoptic spotlight
Practical approaches to improving the lowest-performing question across all papers:

• “Guess the Synoptic” command word/content activities
• AO1→ AO2 → AO3 – State /Translate/Relate/Develop approach
• exemplar responses
• synoptic mapping

Teach-it-tomorrow task
Ready-to-use retrieval grids, timeline tasks and application scenarios

Revision scheduling tips
Evidence-led spacing techniques that help students remember more, for longer
Aligned to socio-cultural hot topics and synoptic pathways
