Get hold of some past examination papers - you can buy these cheaply in most bookstores - and have your kids study the questions.
Exams have a consistent formula, and once you know the formula, you're halfway to success.
Familiarity also instills confidence - an important quality when it comes to facing a real exam situation.
#5. Pay for performance
If all else fails, or your kids are having trouble getting motivated towards a forthcoming exam, try offering them an "incentive".
(Well they have to learn about "performance-related pay" someday.)
You'd be surprised how a little motivation can improve exam results!
Whichever way you do it, try to help your kids get the best grades they can.
"Qualifications doth not a person make."
But they certainly help when it's time to earn a living.
