AB Tests - November

Just a bit of prior warning to senior pupils!

This year's AB test will take place on the following dates:

Higher Business Management
19th November 2009

Higher Administration
20th November 2009

Remember these tests are designed to judge how you are performing. They are as important as prelims, make no mistake about it!

Higher Business Management AB Test will be a 50 mark paper, made up of past paper questions. This is half a prelim since we will have only covered about half the course by then.

Make note of the command words!

Higher Administration AB Test consists of 2 papers. Paper 1 is a 30 mark written exam; Paper 2 is a 30 mark practical (ICT) exam. I believe that this AB Test in particular helped Higher Administration pupils a great deal as they had to deal with time pressure early on in the course.

You will not be asked something that hasn't been taught yet, so make sure you have already started studying - i.e. revising and ordering your notes. This is also why making a good attempt at homework is vital. Homework gives you an opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them without the pressure of an examiner! Homework is there to aid learning, not as a stick to beat you over the head with!

So I want to see you guys become Booksmarts!
