Your teen is working hard but the grades aren’t moving. In this episode, discover science-backed study methods (retrieval, spacing, dual coding) that actually help GCSE resit students remember and recall.
If your teen’s facing GCSE resits this November and the revision routine feels like déjà vu: same notes, same stress, little progress, you’re not alone.
In this episode of The Mindful Toolbox Podcast, Sarahlynn explains why rereading isn’t working, how memory science really functions, and three study systems that help information stick. Perfect for parents of neurodivergent learners, anxious revisers, or anyone ready to make revision finally count.
