In this 90min workshop, 
your teen will learn:

  •  The 5-point Framework for crafting responses that give the right level of detail, in the right ways, in the right places - so you get the marks that match your knowledge.
     
  • The dissection system that makes it easy to determine what a question is asking and what to include in the response- without needing to be a subject genius.
     

  • Why even the smartest students lose easy marks in essays and extended responses and how to make sure you grab every one.

     

  • How to use ‘the 3 Steps of Analysis’- whether you’re analysing data in Science or a Shakespeare quote in English - to make it quick and easy for the marker to tick the top criteria - no matter the subject or topic.
     
  • The examiner secret for maximising marks without having to write more, so you don’t run out of time in exams or go over the word count in essays and assignments.
     
  • The #1 mistake hardworking students make in ‘discussion’ pieces that limits them to half marks.
     
  • Detailed breakdowns of real life assessments and exam questions so you see the strategies in action - even with the trickiest questions.
     
  • Why “wider reading” is not the solution to giving more detailed answers or higher quality responses.
     
  • How to turn big-mark questions to your advantage (so they become a chance to shine rather than a source of overwhelm.)
     
  • When to use sources and stimulus items INSTEAD of subject knowledge to add detail, (and why this is one of the smartest ways to EASILY grab more marks).
     
  • Why using unique, unusual or ‘interesting’ content won’t impress the marker at senior level (even if it did in Years 7 - 10) - and what WILL instead.
     
  • How to effortlessly up-level any comparative response, with just one word (sometimes just 2 letters)! 
     
  • How to know when you have ‘enough’ detail - so you can stop writing, move onto the next question or task, and feel confident doing so.
     
  • The difference between ‘appropriate’ vs ‘detailed’ vs ‘discerning’ discussion - and what makes a marker bump your writing up to the next level.
     
  • Why being savvy about ‘detail’ (how to give it and what’s ‘enough’) makes exam prep more effective, essays faster and easier to write, and assignments smoother to complete.
     
  • How to stand out as a top student, without having to be a natural writer, a subject genius or having to love the topic.
     
  • The proven system that had Chelsea go from being ‘scared’ of essays to ranking 1st or 2nd across her classes and getting 90% in her latest essay exam.
     
  • The ‘reverse-engineered’ strategy that makes text analysis way easier and creates a naturally higher quality response.
     
  • Why confidence doesn’t just come from knowing the subject - but also comes from knowing what’s required and how to give it in any task or question - and why ‘the right detail in the right places’ is critical to being able to do that.
     
  • The not-so-obvious way to turn ‘detailed’ answers into ‘sophisticated’ masterpieces.
     
  • The command word that most catches students out - that, when you know how to nail it, will have you stand out for all the right reasons.
     
  • How to keep your writing clear and succinct whilst also being detailed and sophisticated. (Hint: sophisticated isn’t fancy, it’s structured, focused and has the right detail in the right places.)
     
  • How to embed evidence and examples so they add depth, rather than feel shoe-horned in.
     
  • How to maximise your strengths and strategically build your areas that need improvement, so you become a skilled, confident and calm, high-performing student.
