Exam Prep

The first point the website that sourced made was that you should give yourself adequate time to prepare. This is important because if you don't get started early and keep putting it off then you could leabve yourself open to a last minute rush. This could cause great stress and that is not a good thing especially during exams.



Another tip they had was to break down all the information. This is important because if you don't know all the specific information you must revise you could miss out on areas or waste precious time on unneeded areas.


One of the other tips given was to keep youself healthy by having aduquate sleep and eating well. This is extremely important because during study and exams you will not be able to concentrate or perform well if you have low energy levels.


I chose the site below as reputable site because Jack Turner went on it first and he is the most reputable person I know. If it is good enough enough for him it is good enough for me. Haha. Na it was reputable because it was published by King's University College.

Science Fiction

I believe boys generally find books in the science fiction genre more appealing because most boys have short attention spans. Because of the huge range of exciting things on television and the internet, boys just cannot sit down and read a book if it isn't packed full of action. Boys also like this genre because you can get into a fantasy book alot more than other genres. Speaking from a personal view, a boy cannot read a whole book on something like a love story. It has to be something that keeps them interested and on the edge of their seat.

I don't really think this relates to me that much because I have only read one fantasy novel. Although I enjoyed it, I cannot say without further experience that my favourite genre is science fiction. This relates to others I know as alot of my friends really hate reading. Nobody would be able to make them read if they didn't enjoy. That is why when they find a good book that compells them and has alot of action they are generally going to want to read and finish the book.

My favourite genre would have to be anything to do with sport or anything with kids my age, dealing with issues that I myself am dealing with. This is because I can relate to these types of novels and I can get something out of them.
