With our last lesson before exams done, here is a final list of things you should be doing to revise for the Summer Exam.

1) Vocab. Continue using resources provided to strengthen your knowledge. I would recommend going over the 'Chapters 1-3 Vocab List - Blank' list in OneNote, testing yourself as you go. Alternatively, you could use the quizlet link provided, as long as you are actively testing yourself. Vocab is crucial for the test, so if you put the time in to mastering this vocab list, you will do very well.

2). Grammar. Continue to review the grammar summary in the revision list, with a particular focus on verb endings (i, isti, it, imus, istis, erunt), and the uses and endings of the cases.

3). Culture and Context. Review the 'Culture and Context Revision Notes Chapters 1-3' sheet in the 'Summer Revision/Key Resources' section. If you would like to test yourself, you can do so with the '06. Culture and Context Revision Notes Chapters 1-3 fill in blanks' page in 'Summer Revision/Practice'.

4) Practice! Practicing and testing yourself is the best way to learn. There are two excellent practice resources in the 'Summer Revision/Practice section', '01. Y7 Summer Exam Revision Exercises', and '03. Year 7 Self Study Sheet'. Both have answers on a separate page so that you can mark your work.

I would recommend that everyone attempt at least one of these practice exercises. The first one is more thorough and so more helpful for revision, whilst the second is more similar to the format of the actual exam.

Well done so far this year everyone, you've all been excellent. Put in a good effort with learning your vocab and grammar in particular (they are worth the most marks) and you'll do very well. Good luck, and email me if you have any questions or concerns!
