How to win at exams

Motivating young people to prepare for exams and assessments can be a challenge. After all, if done properly then revision is hard work – if it’s easy, then you’re probably not doing it right and are most likely wasting your time. At MHS we have greatly increased our support and guidance on how to prepare for exams over the years, and in the last 18 months in particular we have really focussed on what we believe are a small number of highly effective revision techniques. These apply just as well for students in Year 7 and they do to those in Year 11, and they are habits that can support in every single lesson.

We call them the Marple Hall School ‘High Five’ – five strategies that successful students use to win at exams.

We also know that parents are carers are very keen indeed to support their loved ones with revision, but often don’t know what their child should be doing and therefore aren’t sure how to help. Well, Mrs Lawton has fixed that issue with one of her famous videos. If you are a parent or carer who wants to know how to support in the run up to any exams – and Year Ten have internal EBACC exams coming up, by the way – then watching this video might be the best 20 minutes you could spend.
