Some nerves before a big test are normal. These are signs your teen could use a plan and steady practice before the next exam.
Your teen can explain it at the kitchen table, but the marks on quizzes and tests don't match what they know.
Hours of rereading and highlighting the night before, then surprise when the questions look nothing like the notes.
A marked test comes home, gets a quick look at the grade, and the same errors show up on the next one.
In the days before an exam your teen feels sick, stays up late worrying or says they'll fail anyway.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
Cramming the whole course into one night rarely works. Look for a tutor who builds a study plan back from the exam date, practises with real questions under a time limit and goes over mistakes until they make sense.
Studying often starts the night before, with no plan for what the exam covers. A tutor can list the topics from the course outline and spread short review sessions over the weeks before. Ask the tutor to bring hard topics back more than once, so they have time to stick.
Hours of rereading and highlighting, then the questions look nothing like the notes. Research rates practice tests and spaced study among the most useful ways to learn, and rereading among the least. Look for a tutor who has your teen answer from memory first, then check.
A marked test comes home, gets a quick look at the grade, and the same errors come back. A tutor can help your teen sort each mistake: didn't know it, misread the question or ran out of time. Ask them to fix the real cause, not just the answer.
A little stress can help your teen focus, but too much can make the mind go blank. You can ask a tutor to practise a plan for the first few minutes, for skipping a hard question and for pacing the whole paper. If worry starts affecting daily life, talk to your doctor.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
Not well. Kids Help Phone notes that cramming the night before raises stress and only puts information in short-term memory. A 2013 review published by the Association for Psychological Science rates practice tests and study spread out over time as highly useful, and rereading as low.
It depends on the province. Quebec's ministry exams count for 50 per cent of the final result in Secondary 4 and 5. B.C. students must write Grade 10 numeracy and Grade 10 and 12 literacy assessments to graduate. Ontario has its own EQAO and OSSLT tests. Ask the school how your teen's finals count.
Short-lived worry before an exam is normal, and a little can even help with focus. The Canadian Paediatric Society says to talk to your child's health care provider if fears start getting in the way of daily life, like going to school. A tutor can help with preparation, not diagnosis.
