Exams, Revision, Stress...Help is at hand

National Qualifications Online - Exam preparation

Those fine people at LTScotland have collated a selection of resources intended to help this years cohort of NQ candidates prepare for their exams. Also useful I would suspect for us teachers and parents.

It includes a Exam Guide 2008 produced by the Sunday Herald, although having just looked at it there is no specific guide for Languages...why not!!! The Herald itself has a couple of podcasts available to download, which give tips and advice on how to approach exams.

Exam Guide 1

Exam Guide 2

There is also a link to the SQA Exam timetable, where you can access your Personal Timetable Builder.

You now finally download past papers from the SQA as well. Only last years for the moment, but this will obviously increase year on year.

There is also a section on Study Skills under 4 headings, Do, Get, Remember and Understand.

Well done LTScotland, there are some very useful resources here.

German Grammcasts

What seems a long time ago I tasked 2F with producing podcasts to explain various aspects of German grammar. After a long gestation period here are the results.

Your task is to listen to each and every one of the podcasts and rate them. You must assess how well the podcast has taught you about the grammar point and also think about how well the podcast has been scripted, then you must leave a comment on this post by clicking the comments button below. Try to express your comment in the form of 2 THINGS THAT ROCK AND 1 THAT SUCKS, eg "the podcast was well scripted and I learned a lot about irregular verbs, but there appear to have been some errors in pronunciation." NO TEXT SPEAK EITHER PLS PLEASE.

In particular I want you to look out for and identify any grammar mistakes made in the presentations, with a view to rerecording a wholly accurate versions.
