Rip-Roaring Resits

• To help post-16 students build their confidence and develop a positive mindset for resitting Maths or English GCSEs
• To provide effective tools and techniques to organise workloads, improve revision strategies and boost performance in exams
• To increase motivation in students

Students will leave the Rip-Roaring Resits workshop feeling energised, enthusiastic and far better prepared to tackle their workload and face their exams with confidence. Using a unique combination of time management strategies, stress management techniques and memory tools, we show students how to manage their workload and improve their revision skills while building confidence and managing stress.

Designed for post-16 learners resitting English or maths GCSEs, this workshop shows students how to prepare for exams to maximise their chance of success. Students will learn powerful techniques that build confidence and aspiration, and enhance performance.

This workshop will also benefit any students who need:

• The skills to prepare themselves mentally and physically for exams
• To improve learning skills
• Extra exam support
• Added confidence to aim higher

The Rip-Roaring Resits workshop is packed with tailored content that is adapted to the needs of your students. It includes, but is not limited to:

• A range of practical memory and analysis tools
• The “Miracle Morning” concept
• Relaxation techniques for preparing for exams
• The traffic light revision system and the smart, free-time timetable
• State-management techniques

Students report feeling:

• More positive about their exams
• Better equipped to cope with the pressure they face in and outside of school
• Ready to learn, with an improved attitude and sense of responsibility towards their education

We recommend sitting students around tables in groups of six to eight in a spacious room that is conducive to learning.

Your Positively You event can be broken down as follows, depending on your timetable:
