Here's why I think exams should become your teen's GREATEST STRENGTH
(and what I'm doing to help make that a reality!):
1) Exams are the biggest source of stress and cause of anxiety in most teen's school life.
- If they can nail exams, their stress levels will be lower (and your household will be happier!) ;)
2) Exams usually count for the biggest % of an overall mark or grade.
- If they can nail exams, their results will go up. Significantly.
3) If they can 'do it' in exams, they can 'do it' in everything.
- Every other assessment, homework task, class project will be clearer, quicker and higher quality.
Listen in to discover the 3 reasons why focusing on making exams your teen's strength will not only:
- improve their marks
and - reduce their stress during exams,
but will also - elevate their confidence and performance across EVERY aspect of their study.
