    Many students suffer from exam anxiety both before and during their exams. For some the experience of exam anxiety is a major barrier to achieving the grades that they are capable of.

Understanding the role of anxiety and how to use it to enhance performance can radically transform students’ feelings and performance within their exams.

    Marginal gains theory is a powerful approach to achieving goals and self-improvement. Originally developed in elite sports training, the idea is to make small, incremental changes in multiple areas that compound over time to drive transformational results. As outlined in the workbook, this concept of seeking continuous 1% improvements across everything from sleep habits to study techniques can unleash great momentum. By detailing the roots of why marginal gains is so effective this workbook makes a compelling case that we should all be looking for marginal gains in our lives. Through real-world examples and activities that students can use, it provides a framework for applying marginal gains thinking to see gradual yet exponential benefits. Whether trying to optimise health and wellbeing or boost academic and career success, the marginal gains mindset offers practical inspiration.

  • Taking regular breaks while studying is vital for productivity, focus and wellbeing, yet many students resist taking breaks out of a misplaced fear that breaks will reduce productivity. The truth is that taking short, planned breaks helps the brain to recalibrate and restore functional levels. This leads to improved concentration levels, protection against fatigue and higher productivity that can be sustained over longer periods. Key best practices around study breaks include experimenting to find the right work-to-break ratio for you, planning what work you will do when you return from a break and ensuring your breaks are enjoyable and take place away from your desk or study situation. You can also supercharge your breaks by testing your memory after you return from a short break. Implementing these research-backed techniques around study breaks can transform studying from hard work into a long-term approach that you use throughout your education. By taking breaks, life becomes easier and the quality of our work becomes better.
