How to prepare for KJSEA

Know the competencies, not just facts. CBC questions often describe a real-life situation and ask you to apply what you know.
Practise every learning area. Your pathway placement looks at your strengths across subjects.
Practise reading questions carefully. Many marks are lost by answering a different question from the one asked.
Use short daily quizzes rather than long cramming sessions.
