Let’s be totally clear about it - Exams frighten just about everyone.

Fear of failure (and quite bizarrely the fear of success) can massively inhibit your learning. Anyone, performing any activity, like a sports star, will always perform better if they have a stable and solid emotional platform on which they can refer to in the run-up to that event.
Taking exams is no different!

Fancy new techniques alone do not necessarily boost exam performance. To work effectively, the right study system has to take account of the different attitudes students have to the prospect of being assessed and their individual reasons for wanting to do well.

These then determine the levels of motivation and how successfully the study strategies for exam performance are developed and implemented.

In addition to fundamental study skills such as managing time, revision and exam strategies, improving memory and maximizing the available resources ixp3 will help you develop the emotional and mental strength required to meet the increasingly heavy demands that are made on students today, tapping into the experiences of elite performers from the sporting world, such as former WBC Super Middleweight Champion of the World,
Glenn Catley and Bath, England and British Lions full back Matt Perry.

Utilising their “route to success”, we offer a variety of strategies which will help you to:

1.       develop a greater awareness of your own individual strengths as well as areas for development

2.       stop worrying about your exam results, and start to enjoy the challenge

3.       build the necessary confidence to handle the pressure and deal with all the situations you face more effectively.

It is also important that you take your free time as seriously as you do your work. It is crucial that you work regularly and willingly.

Try to organise your work in a way that works for you - work patterns are very individual and there is no point whatsoever in trying to conform to someone else's idea of how you should be working – it will just stress you out further!

Remember the encouraging words of Mark Twain:

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable ones, and then starting on the first one.”

Don’t procrastinate any longer - just get on with it!
