If you're preparing for university, there's a good chance you're facing one of the big three pre-university programs: - International Baccalaureate (IB) - A-Levels (UK) - Advanced Placement (AP – US)
You studied hard. You knew the material. But when the exam clock hit zero… you still had questions left.
You're revising. The clock is ticking. You're staring at a long list of topics — and only a few days left.

The Free Response Questions (FRQs) on the AP Psychology exam are often underestimated — but they account for 33.3% of your total score.
As the May/June 2025 IGCSE Science exams approach, many students are entering the final stretch of revision — and feeling the pressure.
In IB Economics and Business Management, Paper 2 is often underestimated.

As the May/June 2025 A-Level exams approach, anxiety about final grades is rising.
