" After scoring 95% on each of my last 2 tests. My confidence definitely grew. I started to feel motivated to study because I knew I had the right support and resources.
The Numbers
Emily moved from 60% to getting 95%+ for her recent tests, studying a Year 11 subject while still in Year 10.
Emily's Journey
How Emily went from test scores of 60% to 95%+ for each of her last few Methods tests.
STEP ONE
Worded problems were the main areas that she struggled in. Her foundations were solid, but the worded application problems were causing her to lose a lot of marks on tests. She was also losing marks on careless mistakes.
STEP TWO
STEP THREE

While I was flicking through the pages during reading time, I looked at all the questions and I actually knew what each one was asking. There weren't any questions where I thought, "How do I do this?". That was my moment.

I would definitely recommend not giving up. If you get your first test back and it's not the result you wanted, keep going. A low result doesn't mean you can't do the subject. With hard work, consistency, and persistence, improvement is possible.

The feedback from my tutor was very helpful because it allowed me to see where my gaps were. The way I studied also changed. I went from cramming to spacing my study over a longer period. That meant I wasn't stressed, and it helped me feel more prepared.

Tutoring is very helpful because it's more one-on-one or in small groups. My tutor is able to see where my gaps and errors are. At school, because the class is larger, it's harder for teachers to focus on one person.

My confidence definitely grew, and I started to feel motivated to study because I knew I had the right support and resources. I went from feeling shocked and disoriented when I moved up a year level to feeling completely prepared.
