Jayne C, Malaysia
Jayne is a determined student who faced financial difficulties in accessing extra educational support in a competitive environment, which impacted her academic performance. Receiving the Save My Exams Scholarship provided her with effective learning resources that helped her improve her grades by 6 grades and regain confidence.
Tell us a bit about yourself and why the Save My Exams Scholarship is so important to you?
"I struggled to afford the necessary learning resources prior to the scholarship as I was in an extremely competitive learning environment and those around me had access to tuition and extra classes. As I could not afford to pay for any of these forms of extra education, I found myself disadvantaged compared to my peers and had a really hard time achieving higher grade bands in my year. I struggled to grasp multiple different concepts and this left me falling behind. I was worried that I would lose my academic scholarship at my school.
However, after receiving a Save My Exams Scholarship, I realised that the resources available on this platform were more effective than other more expensive alternatives like tuition. It has really benefited me and helped me improve my grades, all thanks to Save My Exams."
What are your aspirations and goals for the future and what motivates you to work hard?
"In the future, I aim to build a life for myself and for my family in which we may be able to live comfortably and have more enjoyable lifestyles. I aim to attend one of the three top colleges in my nation and go to university abroad. I would like to study in the field of engineering. I hope that this can bring in a sufficient income to appropriately supply for my family and I in the distant future."
How do you think Save My Exams helped you improve your grades?
"I think that Save My Exams as a platform teaches independence and gives users flexibility in their own unique learning styles, creating a more productive learning environment.
The content on Save My Exams fulfils the specific requirements of the syllabus and allows students to not only absorb the knowledge, but understand concepts. Their revision systems such as topic questions provide a key framework to reinforcing learning and show that Save My Exams’ understand the importance of students grasping concepts and not just memorising abstract ideas.
