How to study quickly for my NCEA exam!

Uh oh! Have you waited until the last minute to study for your NCEA exams?

Not to worry, here are some ways you can prepare.


The best way forward is to follow these three steps:



Tovah's Tutoing encourages viewing the NZQA website
Become familiar with NCEA by browsing the NZQA website.


  1. Check out the NZQA website to look at previous NCEA exams.


For students looking to excel in their NCEA exams, a valuable resource to consider is the NZQA website. By visiting this platform, individuals can access a wealth of information, including past NCEA exams. These previous exam papers serve as a crucial tool for NCEA students to familiarise themselves with the format, types of NCEA questions, and level of difficulty that they can expect on the actual NCEA exam day.


Reviewing past NCEA exams on the NZQA website allows NCEA students to gauge their preparedness, identify areas that may require further study or practice, and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. By analysing the questions and answers provided in these past papers, NCEA students can refine their exam-taking strategies, improve their time management skills, and boost their confidence ahead of the actual assessment.


Furthermore, exploring the NZQA website for previous NCEA exams can also help NCEA students to recognise patterns in the types of questions asked, understand the key concepts that are frequently tested, and pinpoint any recurring themes across different NCEA exam sessions. This insight can be invaluable in guiding NCEA students on where to focus their revision efforts and how to approach challenging topics effectively.



Tovah's Tutoring encourages asking teachers for study material
Check to make sure you have the right resources from your NCEA teachers.



2. Ask your teacher for study material


All teachers should be able to direct you to the right material that you studied in class that prepared you for the NCEA exams. Since we do so many different assignments and activities in the classroom over the year, sometimes it can be hard to remember what task was relevant for the NCEA exam. So, ask your teacher for a point in the right direction.


It is crucial for teachers to possess the ability to guide students towards the specific study materials essential for preparing for the NCEA exams. Given the multitude of assignments and activities conducted throughout the academic year, it is not uncommon for students to face challenges in recalling which tasks are directly pertinent to the NCEA examination. Therefore, seeking assistance from your teacher to navigate through the vast array of classroom activities and pinpoint the relevant study materials becomes imperative. By consulting your teacher for guidance, you can streamline your exam preparation process and focus on the key areas that will contribute to your success in the NCEA exams.




Tovah's Tutoring encourages making NCEA study notes
Making NCEA exam study notes will help condense and prioritise what you've learned.



3. Create a one or two page set of study notes


Take all the important info from my advice given so far and collate one or two pages of study notes to review. This will help you re-tell the material in your own words and shorten the amount of material you are sifting through. For NCEA English, NCEA Drama and NCEA Dance, in particular, this might include definitions, quotes, explanations, and ideas.


When compiling study notes for NCEA English, NCEA Drama, and NCEA Dance, it is crucial to extract key information from my advice in point 1 and point 2 above so far. By consolidating this information into one or two pages of concise notes, you are effectively condensing the material for easier review. This process enables you to articulate the content in your own words, promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Your study notes should encompass a range of elements such as definitions, notable quotes, detailed explanations, and insightful ideas. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the information you need to absorb but also enhances your ability to recall and articulate the material when needed. By organising your study notes in this manner, you are better equipped to tackle the complexities of NCEA English, NCEA Drama, and NCEA Dance, thereby maximising your learning potential and academic success.
