Knowing who you are and where you are going gives meaning and direction to your efforts.
"What am I working towards?"
Not only how hard you try, but how deliberately you invest your time and attention.
"How hard am I currently working?"
The routines and structures that make good habits, and organisation, easier.
"Do I organise my time and resources?"
The quality of your revision matters as much as quantity.
"Can I recall information and use it to solve problems under timed conditions?"
How you respond to setbacks, take action to solve study problems and stay motivated.
"Am I treating setbacks as feedback?"
Your VESPA profileReading Your Report
Your VESPA scores are a starting point, not a verdict. Use them to notice what is already working, where to improve, and what to do next.
A score begins a conversation. It does not end one. It's designed to motivate growth and spark meaningful change—not to label you. Use your results to kick off coaching conversations, guide team discussions, set goals, and shape your ongoing development
Your VESPA profileReflecting on Your Profile
Your reflection helps your tutor understand your unique situation. Be honest and specific — there are no wrong answers. Use it to explain what stands out in your scores and what studying is really like for you right now.
“Looking at my scores, I was surprised to see…”
“My score in ___ makes sense because…”
“Something that’s been working well is…”
“What I really need help with is…”
Goals & growthSetting Effective Targets
The best targets focus on behaviours you can actually do. Instead of vague promises, choose specific study actions that will help you improve your habits.
Choose something you will do, not just how you hope to feel.
A strong target is clear enough to act on straight away.
Connect your target to the area highlighted in your profile.
Good targets can be checked and improved with your tutor.
“I will use self-quizzing instead of re-reading notes”
“I will complete two timed exam questions each week”
Habit buildingTaking Action
Targets only help if they change your day-to-day behaviour. Once you have a clear target, the next step is to follow through consistently.
Carry out the action you agreed — don’t just think about it.
Use a note, phone reminder or calendar session to prompt yourself.
The more often you do it the more likely it becomes part of your routine
Tick it off, build a streak, adjust the target if it isn’t happening.
Real progress comes when useful behaviours are repeated often enough to become habits.
