Revise!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Even the best students need to revise.

Students can advance very fast with the Maths-Whizz tutor, but no matter how much progress a child makes, periodically revisiting subjects is vital for long-term success. Encourage your child to do a little revision now and then; students don’t get any credits for passing revision exercises (after all, they should already know this material!) but they do get a confidence boost by reinforcing their learning and they can use Revision to prepare for tests and exams.

To access Revision, your child must open the Whizz menu (bottom-left corner of the bedroom page) and select ‘Revision’.
