Standard Grade Revision

One of the greatest myths to make its way around exam candidates in schools is:

"You can't revise for English exams!"

WRONG! You can revise for English exams. As with anything in life "Proper preparation prevents poor performance".

Unless you're in the habit of creating Standard Grade level exam papers in your spare-time then you need to revise to make sure you're 100% certain on the types of questions that you can be asked and the ways in which you should answer these questions.

Below you will find links to some websites that will help you prepare for your exams:

I'll be going over some of the information in class as well as going over some example questions with you - so pay attention! Another easy way of improving your close-reading and writing skills is to READ books at home.
