Dear students,

As you know, marks were published last Wednesday, June 22nd. You can check them on the net or at school.

Some of you must be delighted to see that you have successfully passed all the skills after lots of work and full-time commitment. Congratulations!

However, others will feel that their time and effort have been, apparently, to waste. Generally speaking, that´s not true. There´s been progress but there is still room for improvement. Have you internalized the new contents so you can use them in context? It does take quite a long time. Have you practised enough?

As a matter of fact, it´s good that you are conscious about your marks. It means you are responsible for your learning. Being "oblivious" to the way you learn/(if you do learn), that is, unconscious and not paying attention to the learning process is one of your worst enemies.

Well, let me give you some advice if you have failed one or more skills.

Don't drown yourself in sorrow just because you did poorly on a test. This will just distract you and keep you from doing your best in September.Look towards the future and aim to do better on the next test. There are  plenty of chances to pick yourself up and show  what you've got! That said, take this test as a wakeup call that's telling you that you should try preparing for the test in a different way.

See what mistakes you made and correct them carefully so that you won't make the same errors on the next exam. Come to revise the exam today, Wednesday, at 20.00 in room 10.

Don´t forget that you should start studying/practising the sooner, the better, so that you will not feel overwhelmed as time goes by.

Best of luck!.You can do it (if you really want).
