Mid-Year Exam Information

Hi Health Students!

So, the time for Mid-Year Exam is upon us.  Here is how you can prepare for the health exam:

1.  Go over all your notes and assignments and make sure you have them saved in an accessible place.
2.  Review how to write an essay and short answers. 

Your exam will be entirely essay or short answer questions.  Please do not work on memorizing information, I am not going to ask you the parts of the respiratory system!  I am going to ask you questions that will get you thinking about what we have done so far in the year.  To do your best job, you will need to explain yourself fully and give examples when neccessary.  It will help you greatly if you have your work and assignments to refer back to.

Get good rest and eat healthy foods especially during exam week.  Exams can be stressful, so be sure to rest, eat properly and get outside and get some fresh air to keep your head clear!!!!
Email me if you have any questions!
