If you’re currently losing sleep over your teenager’s upcoming exams, you’re certainly not alone.

One in four parents say they lie awake at night worrying about their children’s exams, while over half (51%) report the home being hit negatively by exam stress.

The good news is: if you’re based in England and think your child might be falling behind in GCSE Combined Science, there’s still time to make something of a difference before exam season starts on 4 May.

Up Learn, a digital teaching platform trusted by over 100,000 students and 600 UK schools, has launched its GCSE Science course, designed to help students learn faster and remember more.

The online learning platform utilises expert teaching, cognitive science and AI-personalised learning pathways to help kids focus on exactly what they need to improve – whether they’ve missed lessons, lost confidence, or simply never fully understood a topic in class.

With a combination of video lessons, quizzes and 24/7 access to human tutors, parents are hailing it “a godsend”, “game-changer” and “worth every penny”. One parent noted the platform is also “much cheaper than a tutor”.

Alyssa Barros, who got an A* in her maths A-Level after using Up Learn at the age of 13, said: “It’s always great to just be able to open up your computer and have access to the learning.

“The videos make it more interesting with the animations. And it’s a great idea to ask questions about the lesson during the lesson, it’s just reinforcing it in my head. It’s more interesting, and helps me stay focused.”

Up Learn is currently offering a free three-day trial. After that, a monthly subscription is £49.99 or you can get full access until August 2026 for £89.99 (currently reduced from £249.99).

For parents looking for extra reassurance, the learning platform even offers a GCSE Science Money Back Guarantee: complete the course and get an 8-8 grade, or your money back (T&Cs apply).

Time to shun the sleepless nights: if you or your child are worried about the upcoming exams, particularly as far as science is concerned, there’s still time to make a difference. Start your free trial here.
