It also develops other important skills like concentration and creativity.

So get your kids into habit of solving problems every day.

Their exam skills will develop naturally, plus they'll be able to solve problems more easily in real world outside of exam hall.

#3. Encourage study habit

Who hasn't tried to cram themselves full of information night before an important exam?

Unfortunately, that's doing it hard way.

"A little, often" works much better.

Ensure your kids set aside at least 20 minutes a day for peaceful study. Every day.

After a few sessions of enjoyable learning, you'll find they actually look forward to their study period.

#4. Learn exam technique

Studying for exams includes studying exams.

Get hold of some past examination papers - you can buy these cheaply in most bookstores - and have your kids study questions.

Exams have a consistent formula, and once you know 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 best grades they can.

"Qualifications doth not a person make."

But they certainly help when it's time to earn a living.
