1.Be prepared to accept the knock-backs

Reflect constructively on results

If your results are not what you needed or wanted, remember that something will need to change in

your approach to preparation if you are going to get different results in the summer

D

• Reassure yourself: you are good enough to get at least your target grades, if you work hard enough on the right things

• Stay calm: a thoughtful, intelligent response to setbacks pays off but panic, tears and despondency won’t help

• Believe the results: the grades you are about to receive are as honest and accurate as we are able to be at this stage – no-one is playing any tricks on you

• You have 4 months (but only about 13 school weeks, or 65 school days) to go before exams start
