Since September 2015 she has been tweeting tips for GCSE resitters using the hashtag #gcseresit. She has at i time published those tips here. Do accept a hold back - they're non simply for resitters!
Top Tip 38 suggests "making revision bags for one-half terms, Christmas as well as Easter breaks - these are similar political party bags (only better) - containing sweets, examine papers as well as theme tests". I read a similar thought inward John Corbett's (Revision: Christmas Presents'. At Christmas he seat a alternative of Corbettmaths Practice Questions in envelopes along with a pen, pencil, a pocket-size pocketbook of sweets, a few chocolate coins as well as a revision schedule. His schoolhouse posted these packages to his students at dwelling family during the holidays. Not solely did John's students consummate revision that they otherwise would non own got done, but they were also actually chuffed as well as to a greater extent than engaged inward maths revision at schoolhouse equally a lawsuit of John's thoughtful gesture. This lovely thought would run good at Easter too.
