If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It!
I sometimes wonder where on earth do the Government get their ideas about education in the UK? At a recent NUT meeting (yes I have a spy in there), teachers discussed striking over proposals put forward by ministers to change the A-level system (Post-16.) Wait what is this?

The reason is that as I scribble past paper after past paper, a mound of butchered and pressed trees is slowly being…Read more I Need The Holidays To End. WHAT!
Striking The Balance: Past Papers VS Theory
I think that the reason why many students feel overwhelmed with revision is because they are constantly told differing versions on how to revise. However, it can all be cleared up if you see revision structurally, this will help give your revision time value and leave you feeling productive, with a clear direction in mind.…Read more Striking The Balance: Past Papers VS Theory
Easter, Part II
So for me, one week of the revision opportunity that Easter half-term provides has passed. For some, it has just begun, which means the week of college or school that they had whilst others were playing in the park (or revising of course) has been immeidately forgotten in the excitement, relief and happiness of the…Read more Easter, Part II
How worried do you need to be about College?
This is the time of year in England when students taking GCSEs begin to worry about the transition from secondary school to college. Actually, I may be getting ahead of myself there as they are probably more worried about their exams at the moment. Anyway, it is sure to be on their minds and it…Read more How worried do you need to be about College?
