Practice questions
Here is where you will find optional practice questions that are provided each week (pretty much) so you can work on your test-taking techniques in a non-threatening but realistic manner. I will include the date/question so you can see a trail of when they occur; you can also go back and practice ones you might not have time for each week. You can submit these any time for feedback.You are always welcome to write practice questions and submit them for updated feedback on assessment. Improve as much as you like!
How it works:
Each week (pretty much, we might miss the odd one) you will be given 3 SAQ topics.
If you have time, prepare/revise throughout the week for each of the 3 topics.
I will post ONE SAQ topic near the end of the week (Thurs).
Ideally, you will stay after school and complete by hand. If you can't attend, look for the starred response * - that is the weekly selection.
Timed: 20 mins.
Submit.
Reminders:
ONE study is enough to use in an SAQ. If you don't refer to research in an SAQ, you will not move beyond a 3/9.
No critique is needed/required; in fact, in can harm your response because it becomes less focused on the Command Term.
Ensure you respond to the demands of the Command Term; make this part of revision.
