Preparing for the inevitable examinations

Now is the time to really get thinking about revision and being sensible about what you have to do.

Harrang and harrass your teachers for information and advice. And seek advice elsewhere. You all know about studyit.... the website with information about English, Maths and Sciences.

Finding help for other subjects can be more challenging. However, we will try to steer you in the right direction with some advice. Today is a shameless plug, and a financial outlay. But it is worth it. Not all of us have great notes from the year..... let's be honest people! Buy some! You have options- ask for the notes of people who were in the class last year. Shamelessly beg for them. Look for revision guides in bookshops and online...

Shameless plug... check out the author..... ;)

 ESA is a New Zealand company who specialise in revision books.  They have ones for course outlines, and ones focussed on examinations.  You can buy them from their website- or bookshops.

The ESA Website- all of their books.

These range between $20-$30 for each title.  You can always re-sell your book next year to the following class and get back some of the cash.  Or check out Trademe, which always has a range of secondhand titles listed. 

The main thing you should be doing is making sure you have your notes in order, that you know what the exam will be about, and making sure your internal assessment work is up to date.  Soon we will follow this blog with another spouting about what you should be studying.

Currently in the "Where's Wally?" Challenge, we have Kendall in the lead, followed closely by Zoe, and then in really close contention for 3rd are Ivy, Finn, Louis and Phoenix.  With 5 clue results remaining, it is still anyone's game.  And the trophy for "Most Creative Mapping of Wally's Journey" to be announced on Friday.  Special notes have to go to Phoenix, for getting to formtime at 8am to hand in the answer, "Rabat", and to Cat and Christina for there responses from Finland and Switzerland.
