Silence! Exams in Progress

Only 11 days until NCEA exams start for the multitude of students around New Zealand. Rodney Libraries are keen to support our local teenagers as they get ready to sit their examinations and there are several ways we can do this.

1. We have just added to our collection a wide range of NCEA Study Guides which are available for issue. If you can't see them displayed at your local Rodney Library, ask one of the librarians where they are. Across Rodney we have tried to cover as wide a subject range as possible, so if you can't see the one you want on the shelf, either search the library catalogue (keyword or subject search for "study guide"), or ask at the Help Desk.

2. There are also a lot of very good websites specificially designed for New Zealand NCEA students. One of the best for maths, science and English is Studyit. This also has an exam timetable and Q & A section. The ManyAnswers section of the Many Questions website is also helpful as is the NZQA website which also contains the rules applicable when setting the exam.

3. At this time of the year we strive to provide a quiet study place for students. This is not always possible with other activities happening in the library, but we do our best and we ask that both everyone using the library, respect other patrons. This applies equally to students who are using the space for study and other people who are in the library being considerate of the students.

Good luck on the exams everyone.
