Experts recommend between 40 to 60 minute revision sessions although it is also worth getting them to practice having to concentrate for two or three hours since this mirrors the duration of their exams 2. Try to work around this timetable so that you are available during their breaks – it is good for them to have someone to talk to 3. Ensure their revision is happening in a well-lit and quiet space with a desk and comfortable chair – and make sure the TV, computer and mobile aren’t accessible distractions 4.

Encourage exercise – even if it is only a 15 minute walk round the block - it lowers adrenaline levels in the body which, in turn, lowers stress so aids concentration 6. Eating sensibly is very important as brain cells need energy to function well and serve up food which is rich in omega-3, namely anything with fish, walnuts or flax seeds in it. Omega-3 has been shown to improve cognitive functioning which any exam candidate needs but if your family doesn’t like fish, it may be worth supplementing their diets with an Omega-3 capsule for a month or so before exam time 7. Dehydration can cause tiredness and reduces concentration so make sure your kids are drinking at least one litre of water each day. Nutrilite (http://www.amway.co.uk/ 8.
