Check out this short video extract with Dr Jane Genovese


Exams can be an overwhelming and super stressful experience for secondary students. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In this teacher-led session, Dr Jane Genovese shows students how to avoid the trap of stressful last-minute cramming and remain calm under pressure.

Students will learn:

  • How to start preparing for exams early (and not the night before an exam!)
  • How to revise effectively for exams
  • How to use the Leitner System to save time and deepen learning of key concepts
  • How to stay calm and grounded under pressure

How does this pre-recorded session work?

Teachers are provided with a script which they can follow and/or adapt to introduce the videos and facilitate break-out activities.

Sessions run for 45 minutes. This allows teachers time to complete housekeeping and problem-solve potential issues within a 60 minute period.

What's included in this resource?

1. A script to facilitate the session
2. Access to four videos (see below)
3. Worksheets for students
4. Follow-up activity to reinforce key strategies
