Test yourself, don't reread
Students who practise recalling material remember more a week later than students who spend the same time re-studying it.
Roediger & Karpicke (2006), Psychological ScienceIn 90 minutes, find out why hours at the desk don't turn into marks, and leave with a 7-day study reset you can start the same evening.
Revision that is started early sticks. Revision that is started late is just cramming.
It's 9 PM.
The problem was never effort. It's the method.
Your child has been at the desk for two hours. The notes are highlighted in three colours. There's a test tomorrow, and when you ask one question, the answer is a shrug.
You've tried reminders, rewards, tuition and a raised voice. Nothing sticks, and by now you're both tired.
Here is what nobody tells parents: most children are never taught how to study. Schools teach subjects and assume study skills will appear on their own. So children copy the only methods they see, rereading and highlighting, which research ranks among the least effective ways to learn.
Picture the same 9 PM a few weeks from now. Your child closes the book, tests themselves from memory, and finishes in less time. You are not the homework police anymore.
The March exam clock
Spaced revision is one of the strongest techniques in learning science, and it has one requirement: time. It cannot be squeezed into the last fortnight. Here is what your child's calendar looks like from today.

Research, not hacks
Every technique you'll learn comes from published learning science and HappySprout's social-emotional learning framework. No tricks and no "study hacks".

Roediger & Karpicke (2006), Psychological ScienceRevision spaced over several days beats one long cram session, and the best gap between sessions grows with how long the learner needs to remember.
Cepeda et al. (2006), Psychological BulletinA major review of ten common techniques rated highlighting and rereading as low utility, and practice testing and spaced practice as high utility.
Dunlosky et al. (2013), Psychological Science in the Public InterestThe 90 minutes
Why two hours of studying can produce far less learning than it feels like, and the one question that tells you which your child is doing.
Close-the-book recall, the spacing calendar and the 25-minute focus block, each practised live on a real chapter. Simple enough for a Grade 5 child, strong enough for Grade 12.
Why children switch off, how emotions drive academic effort, and the five-minute conversation that reopens the door without a fight.
You work backwards from the March exams and fill in your child's personal plan live, using their own subjects and dates.
Ask about your child's specific situation. Fifteen minutes of questions answered live, one by one.
Yours free when you join live
Led live by Babitha Naidu, founder of HappySprout, on Google Meet from your phone or laptop.
A one-page plan you complete during the session and stick on the study table.
Ten quick observations that show which study traps your child has fallen into.
Exact words to use instead of "just focus" when your child is stuck, stressed or switched off.
Registered parents get invited to book a free 20-minute one-to-one about their own child.
Zero risk: the workshop is free, there is no card to enter, and the Study Clarity Session is optional. If it isn't useful in the first 15 minutes, you can leave the call and lose nothing.

Before you decide
No. Study methods can be changed at any age, and older children often see the biggest difference because their workload is heaviest. The workshop covers Grade 5 to 12, and you'll adapt the plan to your child's grade and subjects.
No. You get real techniques you can use the same evening. At the end we'll tell you about the free Study Clarity Session, and you can ignore it. There is nothing to buy to benefit from the workshop.
No. This session is for parents. Your child is welcome to sit in, especially if they are in Grade 8 or above, but you don't need to bring them.
Yes. The techniques are about how the brain learns, so they work with any board, any subject and any school.
A phone or laptop with internet. You'll get a Google Meet link by email.
