At this time of year we know that many students will be feeling worried about their mock exams and their exams next year.
We also know that parents too, can be very stressed about how their child will perform, as it is natural to want your child to get the best possible marks in their exams. A small amount of nervousness is healthy for a student facing exams. It is when the stress becomes overwhelming and difficult to cope with that it becomes a problem and will affect their performance.
We have compiled two documents that will hopefully help you to manage your child’s stress during revision time and the actual exams later next term:
Revision Handbook
Coping with Exam Stress – A Guide for Parents
