ANY TIP FOR SELECTIVITY EXAM?

The end has come and we are all getting quite nervous. In a few days, we are going to take a very important exam. For you, selectivity; some of the teachers, to obtain our place in a high school. In a way, we are all going to be doing the exams together. It's a year work what we have to show in few hours, where we have fought together for some common goals. I know that pieces of advise here can sound a bit funny: you have to do it on your own and calm is something people tell you to experiment when you don't feel in the mood. So the only thing I'm going to say to all my students is to do their best. I'm sure you are going to do it.

If you want to practice for the exams, hear the listenings from previous years, click here

Good luck, guys!

JUST IN CASE

For those of you who are not going to do selectivity, but you want to do a GS, it's time to enroll. Enrollment is from 25th May till 11th June. Do not leave it till last minute. Remember you can do a registration form in case your exams are not as good as you thought. If you need more information, check the Education department site.
