YEAR 12 WACE EXAMINATION PREPARATION AND REVISION COURSES

Speaking of examination preparation courses, Scotch College will again host ATARextra revision courses in the latter half of this term. This is provided as a service to boys who are looking to join a regular weekly class of 90 minutes in an area where they know they do not perform well under the pressure of an examination. The system operates as a user pays system with a cost of $190 for five sessions of 90 minutes in the last five weeks of this term starting on August 26. The sessions start at 5pm and will be held in the Scotch College English block. PLC girls also are invited to take part and usually there are enough students to fill a class of 12 - 15. If there are too many students, ATARextra will run a second class. These optional classes have been running at the College for the past six years and have been well received. The boys tell me that they find them to be of great value because they enable them to commit themselves to a regular pattern of study. When the mock examinations take place a week later, they feel well prepared. I do not advise taking more than two courses as generally this is enough to get them into study mode. More information on the courses, which courses are offered and the times they are run will be provided in an information brochure that will be emailed to parents of Year 12 WACE boys and can also be accessed here.
