Facing up to A Level exams is a tough time for both students and parents! The examination system in the UK may seem similar to the experience parents had growing up, the reality is that students are now much better prepared, resulting in a more competitive arena in which to secure grades. This book aims to pull together evidence-based strategies that are proven to impact and improve attainment and progress. Students want to do well in A Levels as these qualifications open the door to numerous exciting new opportunities such as University or Apprenticeships. As with anything what you put in is proportional to what you get out - getting good A level results requires much hard work.
Often the difference between getting grades that open doors to wider choices and grades that don’t isn’t down to the capacity or potential of the individual student, it is down to the systems used to support achievement. Some students fall into an effective system because their parents or older siblings found something that works, others manage to work it out for themselves, both of which leave too much to chance for my liking. This book aims to provide a system that, if stuck to, will provide the basis for students to build upon the great work they have done alongside their teachers and achieve the grades they deserve!
I hope it is useful - when things get tough - no matter if you are a student or parent -stick at it!
