Half term is done and dusted and exams are coming up fast. But there\u2019s still time for your teen to get on track with their revision. If they start now, they can walk into exam season feeling confident and ready. Below we\u2019ve got 6 tips to help you support your teen\u2019s learning\u2013 so that they make the most of their time before exams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive straight in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this point in the term, your teen will know where they\u2019re smashing it out of the park, and which subjects need more attention. To help them zero in on areas where they could use more practice, encourage them to look over past tests, quizzes, projects and essays\u2013any work where they\u2019ve received feedback from their teachers. They can also go through their course syllabus and put tick marks next to topic specifications that they feel confident in, and question marks next to those they\u2019re still not sure about. And they can use sticky tabs on their classroom notes and textbooks when something isn\u2019t clear to them. Encourage your teen to jot down all these points in a journal as they go along, so that they don\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
