Mid+Year+Exams

You will be sitting exams next week for short texts and visual texts. Your visual text exam is on Tuesday 31 May (period 4) and your short text exam is on Friday 3 June (period 1).

Refer to the 'Visual Text - __THE MATRIX__' page for information on answering an essay question on visual text. Refer to the 'Short Texts (External)' page for information on answering an essay question on short texts.

Additionally, here are links to NZQA which will take you to the page of that standard. Here you will find old exam papers from past years (and lots of questions to practise with) and exemplar answers at N,A,M and E.
