The Final Push - Junior Cycle & Leaving Cert Exam Preparation Workshop
This workshop is a customised, motivational and study skills workshop for students preparing for their state exams. This workshop is aimed to reach students after receiving their mock results, to support them in using their results to fuel their plan of action and give them the final push they need.
This programme consolidates the core study strategies along with including extra elements supporting students in their studying such as how to strengthen your focus, memory techniques, active learning and well-being. Examples from across the range of Junior and Leaving Certificate subjects are used to support the learning.
Each student receives a study journal, which is an organisational and planning tool reinforcing the learning from the workshop along with providing both students and teachers with a simple method for tracking study progress in the final weeks leading up to the exam.
