Message for the Week

We discussed the importance of excellent preparation. Revision and preparation should be completed with a high intestity and in the correct environment. We should aspire to make our revision more challenging than the exam. This can be achieved through completing exam papers in less time or selecting the hardest6 practise questions, rather than the easiest.
