ABSTRACT
Students often indicate that this session is the most beneficial. While many tips and suggestions are provided, it is also important for students to be able to give each other advice on what works for them, and this can be encouraged within the discussion time. Students can be asked at the beginning and at the end whether there are further issues which they would like to discuss. Although this session, more than any of the others, is related to school and so involves the teacher, the same effort should be made to sustain a relaxed atmosphere, or ‘time out’ from normal classes. This will encourage students to raise issues and also to feel that the session is more to do with their well-being than their exam performance.
