N.E.W.T Challenge (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test) – August - October 2020
This is a Harry Potter themed challenge run by YouTuber/GR Member 'Book Roast'. Video Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IAbI...
(NOTE: This will be Book Roast's last Owl/NEWT challenge in the Harry Potter Universe, as she will be transitioning to her own magical universe for her next challenges in 2021.)
******************
How The N.E.W.T Challenge Works:
- There are 3 tests to pass for each subject:
A = acceptable ; E = exceeded expectations ; O = outstanding
- You need to pass each test sequentially to "unlock" the next level etc. (ie. within each chosen subject, first get an 'Acceptable', then move on to 'Exceeded Expections', and then finally 'Outstanding'.
- Read a different book for each task, even if a book meets criteria for more than one.
