    It depends on which specialisms they are doing.

    For the general exams, if all the Key Assignments and Tasks have been completed, then they need to be practising taking notes under pressure as it will be needed in the Social Ed. exam. They can do this with any news programme or fast-moving documentary.

    They could practice old Mathematical Applications exams too and the language. Again depending on the specialism, they might need to look over Engineering notes, or HCT, or OACC or Craft and Design.

    The great thing about the LCA is that they will already have a realistic idea of the mark they will be getting in August, so the exams, while adding to the final credits, are not the be all and end all.
