The road to NCEA

Key study tip 6 weeks out from NCEA exams: 

Make a plan!! I know it sounds kind of obvious but get a calendar you can edit; either old school pen and paper or online digital version. (there are heaps you can find online)

  1. Focus on October and November – either print or save these 2 months.  (I suggest print so you can put it on a wall and see it often!)
  2. Write in dates of deadlines you already know, activities that you are already committed to, NCEA exams and times.
  3. Work backwards from your last exam to plan the revision you will do in the time that is left; what will you study on which days.
  4.  Break up revision into topics or individual standards rather than whole subject areas – it will look more manageable and give you a realistic picture of the time you have left to revise for each standard.
  5. You may also break your days up into blocks for different topics.
