For seniors, Term 3 is when the reality of looming assessments and exams begin to bite. Our experience has shown that senior students who have developed a well-organised study schedule by now are more likely to reach their exams feeling prepared and confident. They're more able to achieve at their potential.
They need to be:
Completing class homework and assignments, but also revisiting course work already covered in preparation for exams.
Aware of their own strengths and weaknesses in each subject. Focus on really doing well in areas of strength, but also spending time building up weaker areas.
Asking questions; if they don’t understand something, what do they do about it? If asking in class is not something they feel comfortable doing, then perhaps approaching a teacher after class or bringing the work into NumberWorks’nWords would help. The more responsibility they can take for their own learning the better.
Work through old exam papers. Nothing prepares you for exams like doing them.
