FREE Resources
At My Exam Buddy, we believe every learner deserves the tools and support they need to feel confident and prepared for exams. That’s why each week, we upload a new free resource designed to help students, parents, and educators.
From revision planners and study tips, to wellbeing guides and exam-day checklists, our resources are practical, easy to use, and accessible to all. We’ve also included support for parents and carers, with advice on creating the right learning environment at home and managing exam stress together.
These resources are regularly updated to reflect the challenges learners face today – whether that’s managing exam anxiety, building effective revision routines, or staying motivated across the academic year.
Our aim is simple: to make exam preparation less stressful, more structured, and a lot more achievable.

The Pomodoro Technique

This planner is also a great way to evidence the use of rest breaks as part of access arrangements, showing a consistent, healthy approach to managing time and focus.

Small Check-Ins, Big Difference
Our Wellbeing Tracker helps learners keep on top of how they’re feeling — because emotional health matters just as much as academic progress. By regularly checking in, students can spot patterns, celebrate good days, and identify when they might need a little extra support.
Designed to encourage self-awareness and open conversations, the tracker is a simple but powerful tool for promoting balance, resilience, and confidence — both in and out of the classroom.
