Resit Success Programme

The Resit Success Programme consists of three highly engaging, practical workshops and is designed to support students who need to resit their GCSE exams.

This three-day programme would ideally be delivered over the course of a single academic year and to maximise the impact, we recommend the workshops be delivered in the following order:

• Super Speed Study Skills
• Resilience
• Exam Mastery

In addition to the live workshops, you also have the option of subscribing to our Online Resources Hub, which is a great way for students to consolidate the ideas and techniques we teach and is a cost-effective way to enhance the impact of the Resit Success Programme.

The overall goal of the Resit Success Programme is to prepare students for resitting their English and Maths GCSEs. We do this by:

• Equipping students with a wide range of effective study skills and developing their metacognition
• Boosting their resilience and promoting a positive, healthy attitude to learning and exam preparation
• Introducing them to to advanced information recollection techniques that will help them mitigate stress and ace their exams

Across the three workshops in this programme, students will be introduced to a vast array of techniques that will help them approach their resits with confidence and determination.

Some of these include:

• Mind and Concept Mapping
• Cornell Note Taking System
• The Feynman Technique
• Past Papers and Mark Schemes
• Circle of Control
• Emotional Backpack
• The Pomodoro Technique

Students who experience the Resit Success Programme will not only be better prepared for their GCSE resits, but will have a more positive attitude towards learning.

Students will benefit from the ideas and techniques in this programme long after they leave education.

The Resit Success Programme is a three-day intervention that can be delivered face-to-face or online. Each day can be broken down as follows:

• 4 x 1-hour workshops
• 2 x 2-hour workshops
• 3 x 80-minute workshops

Each workshop can accommodate up to 100 students (but we can be flexible and work around your timetable). Additional time is available on request – contact us for details.

“We used Positively You to give the students additional support with exam preparation. The sessions were informative, lively and paced just perfectly.”
