Planning for GCSE success
Every parent wants their children to reach their full potential. But when it comes to revising for GCSEs, many of us are left wondering what to do for the best. After all, it might have been a while since we last had to sit an exam!
T
he Study Buddy system is an innovative,
easy-to-follow
approach to getting ready for exams. It focuses on time management to help students stay on track and feel more in control. Parents are also left with the
peace of mind that their children are getting on with their revision, without feeling like a nag. “Students can feel under lot pressure in the run up to GCSEs,”
comments Nathan McGurl, founder of The Study Buddy. “Not knowing where
to start, worrying about
the impact of bad results, or even finding the motivation to get going are just some of the issues that teenagers — as well as their parents — are facing.” The Study Buddy is geared to more
than 250 GCSE and iGCSE syllabuses that are studied around the country. Using modern project management
principles, each course is broken down into bitesize chunks. By allo- cating these units over the coming week, students can make sure they’re covering their topics while still making time for social lives, sports or the all-important lie-in. Nathan continues: “The Study
Buddy helps students to tackle their GCSE exam revision while at the same time taking the stress away from parents who worry about how their children are coping with their study workload.” Iain Kilpatrick, headmaster at
Sidcot School, explains: “The Study Buddy approach gives students clear, achievable objectives, safe in the knowledge they’re working towards clearly defined goals. This helps to build their confidence, which is key to unlocking their potential.”
Benefits include: • Reduces stress and anxiety • Shows free time versus study time • Procrastination busting • Prevents avoidance of less favoured subjects
• Creates a good mindset for life beyond GCSEs
• Builds confidence
The Study Buddy’s new revision techniques start from £5.49 per subject and are available from
