Revision Advice

Let’s be realistic – there are a million reasons why you might start revising for exams a little bit later than you first planned to. When exams seem far off in the future, it’s tempting to leave revision until tomorrow, not today. Deep inside, you already know that revising for exams as early as possible will help you feel ready for the big day(s)! It’s good to feel prepared, and that preparation can minimise your stress levels, too! Even if you’re doing some last-minute cramming, there are still ways to make the most of whatever revision time you have left before your next exam. Using free revision apps is just an example!

Results Day Advice

When Results Day comes around, please remember that it doesn’t matter how well you did, or even if you feel disappointed in your final exam grades. You still have lots of options open to you, however you did in your exams. Once you get your results, you can explore further education, paid training, college courses, university degrees, and heading out into the world of work once you’re 18. Our results day advice helps you understand what to do when the day arrives to get a handle on all your options based on your final grades. Keep your mind open, and doors to all kinds of opportunities will open for you, too!
