Why On the Lead Up to Exams It Is Crucial for Students to Start Revising Now?

As mock GCSE and A-Level exams are now over, students across the country may be breathing a sigh of relief. However, this is not the time to sit back and relax. Instead, it’s crucial for students to seize the moment and begin rigorous revision immediately. With the official exams fast approaching, starting revision now is the key to securing the grades your child aspires to achieve.

For GCSE students, the exam period spans from Monday, May 6th to Friday, June 21st. Meanwhile, A-Level exams are scheduled from Monday, May 13th, with testing continuing until around June 25th. With just a few months left, there’s no time to waste. Study Link’s academic consultants have found that students who start revising early either achieve or exceed their target grades.

Starting early allows students to thoroughly review course materials, identify areas of weakness, and implement strategies for improvement. It provides ample time to digest complex topics, practice past papers, and seek clarification on challenging concepts. By spreading out revision sessions over a longer period, students can avoid the last-minute cramming that often leads to stress, suboptimal performance, and in the worst cases struggles with anxiety and burn-out.

We recommend that in the first instance students approach their teachers to discuss topics/areas needing specific attention.  Teachers are excellent also in providing encouragement, monitoring progress, and often host after class revision sessions.  For students who want more personalised and in-depth support another invaluable resource is a professional tutor.

Study Links often help students wishing to excel in their exam by providing them with flexible online, or in person tuition.  Study Links tutors not only hold teaching qualifications but also possess years of tutoring experience, help international students excel in their respective subjects. Our tutors are equipped to provide personalized support tailored to each student’s needs, and adept at explaining complex subject matters to students studying in a second language.

The benefits of tutoring extend beyond academic assistance. Tutors offer guidance, motivation, and accountability, helping students stay focused and on track throughout their revision process. They provide invaluable insights, exam techniques, and study strategies honed through years of teaching experience. With their expertise, students can approach exams with confidence, armed with the knowledge and skills needed to excel.

It’s easy to underestimate the time and effort required to achieve desired grades in GCSE and A-Level exams. However, by starting revision now and seeking support from Study Links tutors, students can maximize their potential and pave the way for success.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Act now and contact us to arrange tuition for your child, to ensure they’re fully prepared to ace their exams and achieve their academic goals.
