Thanks to Ms. Séguin, here are some excellent tips to help you prepare for exams. We wish you all the best as you study for your exams and would like to remind you that the library is for silent study only.

Avoid Procrastination

Make realistic goals.
Use a calendar with time blocks.
Reward yourself when successfully completing tasks.
Set up a good study space.
Figure out what motivates you! Use it.

Time Management

Use a large piece of paper and make a calendar of time before the exam. Prioritize study time.
Get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or task.

Approaching Exam Day

Get a good night’s sleep.
Eat breakfast.
Don’t cram in the hour before the exam.
Come prepared : know what you are allowed to bring.

Anticipating Exam Content

Pay attention to study guides and review lists
Pay attention in review periods to topics that the teacher focuses on!
Generate a list of possible questions from each unit.
Re-do the unit tests.
Confer with other students in different sections of the course.

Tips to Better Exam Writing

Read over the entire exam before you begin.
Read all directions and questions carefully.
Do the easy questions first to give you confidence – then do the harder questions.
Complete the short answer questions early on.
Read over all your answers; resist the urge to leave as soon as you are finished.
Don't leave any answers blank.

Stress Management
First, recognize stress: exhaustion, headaches, sleeplessness and oversleeping, loss of/increased appetite, crying. Stress Management is the ability to maintain control when situations, people and events make excessive demands.

Tips on Managing Stress During Exams

Set realistic goals for yourself.
Take regular breaks.
Don't sweat the small stuff.

Canada’s Wars: An Illustrated History
Jonathan Webb, J.L. Granatstein

Canada’s Wars is a thorough overview of Canada's involvement in war since the Boer War in the 1880s.

The level of analysis isn't overwhelming yet still conveys the significance of Canadian men and women's roles in both war and in peace.

As these tales are short, accompanied by graphical illustrations, followed by a bibliography of self-help resources at the end – this is an excellent book to generate classroom discussions on social issues.

Then he falls in love with Jess, the high school quarterback…

Death Benefits

Sarah N. Harvey
Orca Book Publishers

Looking after his ninety-five-year-old grandfather is not what Royce had in mind for his summer vacation.
Royce (aka Rolly) is having a bad year. Not only has his mother dragged him across the country in order to be close to her aged father Arthur, a celebrated cellist, but he's also recovering from mono. When he convinces his mother to let him finish the school year by correspondence, he's left feeling isolated and lonely, and spends his time watching TV and plotting ways to get back to his friends in Nova Scotia. But before his plans can be implemented, his grandfather has a small stroke. Suddenly Arthur needs more care than Royce's mother can provide and, after a couple of hired care aides quit, Royce is pressed into service.
Looking after a ninety-five-year-old—especially one as cantankerous, crafty and stubborn as Arthur—is a challenge. But as Royce gets to know the eccentric old man—who loves the Pussycat Dolls, hates Anderson Cooper and never listens to the kind of music that made him famous—he gradually comes to appreciate that his grandfather's life still has meaning. Even if Arthur himself seems to want it to end.

Used to being the man of the house, Virgil decides to find his reclusive, eccentric uncle and seek his help in getting John out of his mother's life.

Something Wicked

Lesley Anne Cowan
Puffin Canada/Penguin Group Canada

Sixteen-year-old Melissa’s most recent troubles stem from a secret: her twenty-eight-year-old boyfriend, Michael, has just broken up with her. Even though the relationship is clearly over, Melissa clings to the past, riding a never-ending wave of hope and disappointment. Meaningless sexual escapades, drunken nights, and drug-induced blackouts help her deal with heartbreak, but her pain goes much deeper than her failed relationship. Along with a broken heart, Melissa has to cope with the memories of her younger brother’s death; the non-existent parenting of her insecure, flighty mother; being juggled between social workers and psychologists; and getting kicked out of school and sent to a special program for at-risk youth. So when the cracks in her life threaten to tear her apart, Melissa has to decide whether to keep fighting—or to let go.
