Planning for Exam Success
An agile approach to organisation
Often studying fails because the approach is too rigid. Our method focuses on what’s possible and uses feedback to adapt. And making it really obvious what needs to be done to be exam ready.
Planning. Simple.
Leaving GCSE results to chance is never going to be a winning mindset.
Our approach delivers confidence through straightforward breakdown of the work that has to be done.
No surprises and no panicking.
Real world tools.
Do you find yourself worrying if your child is doing enough, or isn’t on top of their studies?
With The Study Buddy it’s really clear to see what’s got to be done and what is in plan.
Adapable.
An unworkable plan is no good to anyone.
A great plan needs to be based on achievable goals. And it should be realistic.
You can’t set them in stone. But you can determine with magnets and our buddy board!

Preparing for the GCSE Journey
You can almost hear the collective sigh of relief from those of us who’ve now come to the end of the exam period road. Now, all we have to do is wait for the results. But amongst us there are year 10 parents, the next cohort of GCSE studying families, considering the...
On what happens after the GCSE exams
The end of exams brings with it an almost palpable lifting of a weight. The hard work has been done – or not – and now all you have to do is wait. And I say “all” like it’s easy in itself. For some this waiting period can be a little fraught too. So what are the best...
On apprenticeships as an alternative to university- “Get The Jump”
There’s a broad presumption that after school there’s A levels and then onto university for a degree. A lot of young people just seem to get swept along on this fast-flowing river of higher education. But with increasing options and alternatives, are we doing enough...
On answering common questions in the run up to GCSE exams

On revision techniques that work with Kate Jones
“I’ve been revising for ages” is often something that battle weary parents will have heard when asking how it’s going. As if lapsed time, spent near an open book or with a YouTube video playing a good use of time. But to be fair, it’s not just the procrastinators and...
On finding a sense of normality – when things are anything but
Keeping up with the Jones’ was always used as an expression about consumerism, upgrading the washing machine, getting a fancier car, holidaying to the Costa Del Sol – if my Essex childhood was ever in any doubt, this is proof positive! At some point it seemed that...
On supporting anxious and overworking teens with Dr Dominique Thompson
The run-up to exams is an anxious time for all teens – and their parents. A certain amount of stress is not only normal, it can also be a good thing. It shows that the outcome is important. However, some young people feel that pressure to perform much more than...
On creating a revision revolution at home with Helen Howell
There’s a widely recognised link between how well teens do in their exams – and in school generally – and the kind of interest and support they get at home over around their education. At least that’s how I justify any fleeting moments of overbearing nagging to my...
On getting started with a GCSE or A Level revision plan
If you ask any exam facing student whether they want to fail, they will tell you they don’t. Of course. And invariably they’ll know that to not fail (but especially to do well) they have to revise a bit. But strangely this acceptance doesn’t always translate into...
