Let's cut straight to the chase! 😂
* Missing 2-3 marks for an A?* Re-mark it—there’s a high chance you’ll get those marks and lock in that A* ⭐️.
* Got an A and have a solid foundation? Revise the tough topics, solve plenty of past papers with real dedication this time 🤓, and sit for the November retake.
* Got a B because you slacked off? Restudy the subject from scratch, show some respect for your parents' money, and retake it in June.
* Got a C? You slacked off and think passing is an achievement. Retake and try to get a V
* Thinking of retaking a C to raise it to a B? Yes, go for it.
* Taking Cambridge Math again? Do yourself a favor and switch to Edexcel instead.

It's a global issue.

Yet, you can help your son / daughter today and I will tell you how.

Take the step you need to take and ask your child what are they struggling with at school.

Find out about the subject and set a couple of appointments a week to help them with it.

Learn about the topic (Find my free resource planner in a previous post)

Be patient and explain as if you are learning.

Monitor the progress of your child every month.

Some at college or university are testing no better than ten-year-olds

Is your child getting their chance to ask questions ?

Schools in Jersey and UK in general have an average of 25-30 puipls per class.

Each lesson is between 45 and 60 minutes long. Let's do the Maths

* 5 minutes to check attendance (yes, every lesson)
* 5 minutes to make sure everyone got their books out.
* 15 minutes to explain the topic
* 5 minutes to write the questions on the board.
* 15 minutes to make sure every student tried to answer the questions.
* 10 minutes to check the answers and go through the solutions.

Now, how many minutes are left for the teacher to answer your child's question or correct any misconceptions they have ?
