The FocusFirst Tutors Exam Method

The Baseline Mock

We start with a diagnostic practice test under real exam conditions to see exactly where your child stands today.

The Gap Analysis

We don't waste time on what they already know. We identify the specific topics (e.g., Algebra or Organic Chemistry) that are costing them points.

Exam Technique

Knowing the answer isn't enough. We teach time management, how to spot 'trap' questions, and exactly what the examiners are looking for.

Common Questions about Test Prep

When should my child start preparing for their exams?

We recommend starting 3 to 6 months before the exam date. This allows time to cover the syllabus, identify weak spots, and practice exam technique without panic. However, we also offer intensive 'Crash Courses' for students with only a few weeks left.

Do you provide past papers and mock tests?

Yes. Practice is essential. We provide a repository of past papers for SAT, ACT, GCSE (AQA/Edexcel), and Provincial Exams. We simulate timed exam conditions to help your child get used to the pressure.

Do you teach specific exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel)?

Absolutely. For our UK students, we tailor lessons to the specific specification (AQA, OCR, or Edexcel) because each board marks questions differently. For US/Canada students, we align with the latest College Board and Provincial standards.

How is this different from normal tutoring?

Normal tutoring focuses on learning the subject. Test Prep focuses on scoring points. We teach time-management hacks, how to spot 'trick questions,' and exactly what the examiners are looking for in their marking schemes.

How much can my child's score improve?

While every student is different, many of our students see a significant jump (e.g., 100+ points on SAT or 1-2 grades higher in GCSEs) after completing our 12-week structured plan.
