“Practising so many different revision methods in the session was really helpful. Because the presenter taught us how the methods work, it made me trust the methods. I will definitely use some of them.”

“This seems to have been just the boost our students needed. Exam techniques are necessary but, more than anything else, students need to believe in themselves – that they can achieve. This seems to have been a key message from today.”
