Move up a Grade A Revision guide for students in all subjects at school, university and professional levels Course Information   Description Exams are a difficult time. Studying can be tedious and frustrating, but you have to put in the hours in to get the marks. There are no quick fixes, but you can get a better grade with a good revision strategy. This course presents the revision strategy I used to get the second highest mark in the finals of my accountancy qualifications and 10 A’s out of 11 exams through three years of accountancy study. The revision strategy is not complicated, and you still have to do the work – it’s not a magic solution – but it guides you through each phase of revision, and the exam itself, to help you get the best possible marks. I firmly believe that this revision strategy will get you a better mark than you would have without it. Thank you for your interest in this course.
