Thousands of school students are ditching the paper and pen and taking their revision online. Teenagers across the country are preparing to sit the first of their National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) exams this week, with Scholarship drama kicking off exam season tomorrow . A number of revision and study websites are available for students studying NCEA, including the Ministry of Education's Studyit site. "I think the reason it's worked so well is it's very specific for NCEA exams, whereas other online things don't necessarily cover the things that will be assessed in the NCEA exams," Lambie said. Lambie said while online revision tools were "not necessarily better" than one-on-one tutoring, they were beneficial to lots of students because so many could access them for free.
