I would recommend this book to anyone who works with young people taking exams, and to the families of young people.
As the parent of two children who will be doing their GCSEs soon, the toolkit style of the book is invaluable. It provides simple tips about developing the good habits that will help all young people to get the most from education. It also approaches an exam-filled school life with a holistic attitude, stressing the importance of fun, relaxation and a healthy diet for a child's success.
Aside from practical advice about study plans, essay writing and revision, the book talks about positive goal setting, which parents and professionals can use to help children in all areas of life. The author explains how to motivate effectively and how to help young people create positive goals, such as "I want to go on to further education", rather than negative goals, such as "I have to do well or my parents will get cross".
