Woman Studying

Year 11-13

To be confident as you approach your NCEA Internals and External examinations, in Years 11-13 you need to:

  • Learn from last year! What worked for you in revision and study? Build on this. What didn't work? Toss it out!

  • Have a dedicated place to study.

  • Revise, revise, revise (check out the forgetting curve)

  • Keep to a good routine, plenty of sleep, rest, and have fun.

  • Got a part time job? Only work a maximum of 8 hours per week. Research shows that more than this will impact on your learning and results!

  • Keep company with like-minded people who are keen to succeed and support your learning and life goals.
