Dear parents/carers,
2. Get Feedback on Practice Examination Responses
Upload your practice examinations once completed.
From this Term, The Lakes moves into our Examination Season— for the first time across Years 7 – 12.
•
Prompt: “ Here is my 600 - word essay response to {essay prompt}. Give me feedback on structure, argument strength, and clarity. Suggest 3 improvements. ”
For our Middle Years (7 – 9), exams aim to embed great study habits early: learning how to revise, manage time, and demonstrate knowledge under timed conditions. For our Senior Years (10 – 12), exams will sharpen exam craft and directly prepare students for VCE examinations. This approach is part of strategic spiralling examination practice at The Lakes: each year level building on the last, increasing depth and complexity so that students grow real skill, confidence and calm when facing assessments.
•
Prompt: “ Mark my practice examination as if you were a VCE examiner. Point out errors and show how to fix them. ”
This helps students improve quality of answers, not just quantity of study.
3. Summarise and Organise Notes
Upload your study notes.
•
Prompt: “ Summarise my notes on {topic} into a one - page study guide with key terms bolded. ”
YEAR 12: FINAL STRETCH—OWN YOUR PREPARATION
•
Prompt: “ Turn these dot points into a retrieval practice quiz I can test myself with. ”
Our 2025 Year 12s have been incredible—focused, resilient and supportive of one another. We have full confidence in their ability to achieve what they set out to do, and we ’ re excited to celebrate them at their Final Day and Graduation Ceremony. As they head into their final examinations, we recommend that all students develop a study schedule that targets 10 – 20 full practice examinations all across subjects during the revision period (mix school - issued papers, VCAA papers and reputable provider papers). Students should then track their scores, their error types, and the time needed to complete these practice exams. Improvement comes from feedback + repetition.
This aligns with our Science of Learning focus—clear, structured note - making and retrieval practice.
4. Build Study Schedules
•
Prompt: “ Help me design a 3 - week exam revision timetable for Year 12 {subject}. I want 2 hours per day, with a mix of practice exams and note review. ”
•
Prompt: “ Suggest how to balance study for 4 subjects with 1 practice exam per week per subject. ”
This ensures planned, balanced preparation and prevents last - minute cramming.
USING AI TO SUPPORT EXAMINATION PRACTICE AND STUDY SKILLS
AI tools can be a powerful study partner—helping students revise content, practise questions, and reflect on feedback. Here are some safe and effective ways to use it:
5. Learn Exam Techniques
•
Prompt: “ What are effective strategies for multiple - choice questions in VCE {subject}? ”
1. Generate Practice Questions
•
Prompt: “ Explain how to manage time in a 3 - hour English exam with 3 essays. ”
•
Prompt: “ Create 10 short - answer practice questions for Year 12 {Subject} on {Topic}, with answers included. ”
Students can rehearse time management and problem - solving before stepping into the examination room.
•
Prompt: “ Write me 5 essay prompts for Year 12 English comparing themes in {Book 1} and {Book 2}.”
This builds exam familiarity and extends revision beyond teacher - provided work.
Important to note: AI works best as a study partner, not a replacement for effort. Students should attempt questions first, then use AI for feedback, clarity, and improvement.
