Resit tutoring with Athena Tuition

Sometimes, despite one’s best efforts, exams might not go as hoped. Exams are a snapshot of what one is capable of on the day, and there are many ways in which things might not go to plan.

 

  • Failure to learn enough of the syllabus content within the time.
    • Inadequate revision time tabling.
    • Sub-optimal revision method.
  • Insufficient focus on exam technique 
    • Knowledgeable people can sometimes leave marks on the table if they haven’t practised enough with the marking schemes and past papers. To get familiar with the various question types and to know which specific words/phrases are high-priority candidates for bringing marks.
  • Illness
  • Anxiety
  • Various other extenuating circumstances
  • Remarks can, on occasion, lead to significant changes in mark, but usually the movement is small (which could still be significant if one is close to a grade boundary).

Our GCSE, A-Level and University tutors can assist by helping to identify areas to improve and then addressing these.

Resit tuition can either be more intensive in the buildup to the exam or longer-term support. Please also take a look at our subject pages for more information in that regard.

    • Preparation is key. Start thinking about the exams at least 12 months in advice.
    • Complete practice papers to get in the mindset for the true assessment.
    • Consider reading and writing exercises. A good comprehension of the English language is vital for the final assessment.
    • Look into publications for your target school. These provide insight into the type of school it is, and may also provide useful insights for the exam.
    • Lean on your tutor for support. Athena only works with the most accomplished tutors with adaptable teaching styles to help with 13 plus assessment revision and planning.
    The 13+ exam can be very challenging, and evaluates students across multiple difficulty levels, ranging from 1-3, with 2 being the most common level paper taken. Core subject include English, Maths and Science, so students should have a good grasp of each, as they will need to perform well in at least two of the three areas.
    All schools have different requirements for what is considered a ‘pass’ for the 13+, although most commonly a 60% score is considered selective, with a 70% score considered highly selective. No score guarantees entry, though, which is why it’s important that your teenager completes the exam in a way that meets the expectations of the school.
