Creating a stress-free environment around your child in the lead up to their exam is important. If there are any issues within the home it is advisable to keep them away from your child where possible. Early preparation can lead to a more relaxed study and exam process rather than cramming at the last minute. Give your child lots of tailored practice and learning around their unique set of needs, at a pace that suits them. Consider the speed and clarity of feedback from the preparation resources you use to ensure your child makes steady progress. Practising timed tests can help your child prepare for the format of the test and build their time management skills, reducing the stress of exam day.
