Halloween!!! So awesome being out on the streets with the rest of our community — it's not about the dress ups or the lollies it's about CONNECTION, which Auckland, NZ and the world desperately needs 💜🧡💚🖤

I don't mean to alarm anyone but #ncea exams start 6 weeks this Monday 😬 timetable below ⬇️

[Clare McIlwraith @Clare_CramLab]

For all you northern hemispherers I hope the new school year has been smooth sailing so far🤞 I've been pondering how parents can help their teens get ready for end of year exams - practical ideas in this week's Substack ⬇️

They're invaluable practice for being under pressure too. Our brains can succumb to pressure especially if we're not used to it. Too many teens don't get the marks they should because they make judgement errors in exams eg waste time on hard questions. Practice is key.

[Clare McIlwraith @Clare_CramLab]

A lot of teens think mock exams don't matter, but they are actually bloody amazing for exam prep and here's why... short🧵

[Clare McIlwraith @Clare_CramLab]

Mock exams show teens where their weak spots are - what was harder than they thought? What don't they understand well enough yet? Did they run out of time?
