Study Strategies

Salvete! The NJCL website recently underwent a major remodeling, so I have now updated and expanded the "Academic Test Links" at left. Please download some past years' tests...you will encounter many of these names, dates, places, etc. when you sit down to take your test at State.

**Strategy #1: study the wrong answers too!

Consider the following myth question:

1. The three headed dog in the Underworld who guarded the Gates to Erebus was?

a. Sirius b. Cerberus c. Argus d. Celaeno

Most of you know that CERBERUS is the correct answer. BUT, how many of you could tell me who CELAENO is? How many of you know the myth related to ARGUS? In other words, you can use the incorrect answers as a guide for additional study...use Google to find online mythology dictionaries that will help you learn about these characters.

More to come!

2010 Academic Study Guides

Here they are, discipuli...remember: 50% of your test questions at Regionals and State will come from the study guide particular to your test area. And any time you invest now will pay dividends for State selections-I am looking very closely at how you do at Regionals to choose those students who will commit the time and energy to prepping for their State events.

Study Guides: Woo-hoo!

Just released: Regional test study guides. Not all subjects have a study guide yet, but if you are signed up for one of the tests below, please download a guide to prep yourself! HALF of your questions will come from this guide! (Pentathlon students: you could be tested on ANY of this material!)
