Wholesome Half Hour

Exams have finally started – the pinnacle of the NCEA year has arrived and we feel your pain.  On this week's episode we smash through a whole bunch of your questions about how to smash your exams, and stay sane while doing it.

Study leave has just started or is around the corner for most of us, so on this week's show we thought we'd discuss how to make the most of this precious time you have before your NCEA exams.

As always, if you've got a question, drop it down in the comments and we'll answer it on next weeks show!

In preparation for this weeks episode we put a call out to our StudyTime Insiders group to see what's on everyone's minds right now.  Turns out, everyone is stressed out about all sorts of stuff related to exams and the end of the school year.  In this episode we battle the stress head on and talk about preparing for exams, becoming a prefect, the last days of school, making the right university decision, and more.

If you've got a question for us, an idea for an episode, or just want to have a yarn, jump down into the comments below.
