The 80/20 Rule of Lost Marks
Ep. 120 -
****************
- Get the Free Parent Guide: 3 Huge Mistakes (Even Smart!) Students Make in Exams and Assignments - and how to fix them immediately so your teen confidently achieves their best ever grades.
****************
We're all familiar with the 80-20 rule.
E.g.
- We wear 20% of our clothes, 80% of the time.
- 20% of our actions create 80% of our results.
Here's my take
(based on 14 years of external exam marking, coursework moderation, referree marking - and teaching!)
on how the 80/20 rule applies to your teen and their results in exams and assessments.
Listen in to discover the ONE very practical thing you can do with your teen if they’ve just had or are about to have any exams or assessment results back.
This one exercise (which takes only 5 - 10 mins) will give you critical information to help them get more marks, more easily in every future exam or assessment.
