1. Complete many practice exams and correct them yourself (exams and suggested answers are on MOODLE). Do them under time constraints 2 hours with 15 mins reading and figure out a way to do them that suits you. Do them at 3pm.
You will also be completing one in class during week 1, term 4.
2. Create flip cards with all the terms listed (unless you are 100% sure you know them) – give the word on one side, then definition and examples on the other. Then use them (or a selection of them) DAILY!
3. Read, highlight and complete any activities included in the study design analysis included.
4. Use your generic transcript and written text questions on texts you find (or ones from MOODLE) for practice.
5. Use your cuttings journal and memorise some key quotes and examples based on essay themes as outlined in the Insight Exam Guide. Create mind maps of recent issues relating to language and how they may link to an essay.
