We have a variety of slide decks and practice tests covering the material that you will be tested on in the competition. Reading and thoroughly understanding the information and visuals provided to you ensures that you are prepared for our conferences. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Workshops<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: With your registration fee, you get access to all of HOSA Canada&#8217;s workshops all year round. We offer competitive event specific workshops that allow you to learn how to effectively study and prepare for the competitive event you have registered for. Some of these workshops have prior ILC winners to provide you with tips and tricks to succeed in our competitions. To learn more about our workshops, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/hosacanada.org\/home\/2024-2025-workshops\/\">this website<\/a>. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Practice (!!):<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> In our event guidelines and study resources, there are practice questions available for each event that has a written test. These practice questions are made to ensure that competitors have a sense of what the questions are going to be like prior to the competition. They are a great way to practice and test your knowledge. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For skill events (ex. CPR\/AED First Aid) practicing all the skills indicated in your event guidelines is an essential part of your preparation. Skill videos have been included in your study material, however simply searching the skill on YouTube will provide you with additional supplemental material. If your event has teammates, make sure you are practicing the skills as a team, so that you can help each other learn, and provide feedback.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For events with a presentation, ensure that you do mock presentations prior to the conference. The less you use your script and presentation aids, the more your judges will feel that you&#8217;re prepared. One important component of mock presentations is to present in front of your peers, and ask them for feedback on how you can improve. Your event guidelines contain important information for your presentation, ex. presentation duration, material required, laptop aids, etc, ensure that you are aware of all these rules, to risk losing points or being disqualified. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Flashcards<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Apart from simply reading the material provided to you, creating notes and flashcards can be a great way to absorb information. Making flashcards can not only help you study on the go and memorize tough concepts quickly but can also help with understanding diagrams and visuals. A great tool for creating and finding flashcard sets is quizlet.com. There are many already-existing, free Quizlets available online for some of the competitive events. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Judges Rating Sheet<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Before studying it is important to familiarize yourself with the judge&#8217;s Rating Sheet. This sheet can be found in your event guideline document in the format of a rubric at https:\/\/hosacanada.org\/home\/2024-2025-event-guidelines\/.

These activities will help with information retention and will help to increase collaboration within your chapter. One of the ways to do this can be through using Kahoot!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whiteboard Teaching<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Begin by writing the big idea on a whiteboard or even a piece of paper. Then proceed to teach the concept to your friend\/group. This way you will identify areas where you are not as confident. Your peers may also provide suggestions on how to remember or understand a difficult concept since everyone has different methods of studying.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Guest Lecturers from the Community: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reaching out to health professionals, professors, and teachers at your own school is a great way to learn from members of your community.

Reach out and kindly ask them to be guest lecturers at your HOSA Canada Chapter!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mock Conferences: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most effective ways to study for HOSA Canada is by hosting a mock conference. You can host it within your school or collaborate with other schools as well. Find practice questions, ask teachers to act as judges, and provide feedback to competitors to help them learn and immerse in the HOSA Canada Experience. A mock conference helps to prepare students and know what to expect in time for our leadership conferences!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These are just a few ideas on how you can study your chapter.
