1. General information only

The information on this website, including blog posts, articles, downloadable resources, quizzes, templates, guides and planning tools, is provided for general educational purposes only by QUEST Study Skills. All content is intended to support students and parents with study strategies and planning ideas, but it does not take into account individual circumstances, learning needs or personal situations.

2. No professional or personalised advice

Nothing on this website should be considered personalised professional advice, including but not limited to educational, psychological, therapeutic, medical, legal or financial advice. You are responsible for how you choose to interpret and apply any strategies or information found on this website.

Important: If you or a student you support experience any of the following, please consult a qualified professional rather than relying solely on our resources:

• Difficulty concentrating or focusing
• Anxiety, stress, or emotional distress
• Suspected learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder
• Mental health concerns (depression, panic, self-harm)
• Physical health issues affecting learning or performance
• Significant academic decline or sudden changes in behaviour

A qualified professional may include: educational psychologists, school counsellors, GPs, psychologists, psychiatrists, learning specialists, or occupational therapists.

Always consult a qualified professional if you require specific advice or support.

3. No guarantees of academic outcomes

While QUEST Study Skills shares study strategies, planning methods and skill-building tools, we do not guarantee any particular academic outcome, grade improvement, performance result or success. Individual results vary depending on personal effort, motivation, existing skills, support systems and external factors beyond our control.

4. Quizzes and downloadable tools

Any quizzes or self-assessments provided through the website are reflective tools only. Quiz results are indicative and educational, not diagnostic. They do not identify learning disabilities, psychological conditions or academic weaknesses, and they do not replace professional assessment or specialist support.

Important about quiz data: Your quiz responses are collected by Tally (our quiz platform provider) and managed under our Privacy Policy. See the Privacy Policy Section 1.3 for details on how your data is collected, stored, and deleted. Your quiz data is automatically deleted after 1 year. You can request deletion at any time by contacting [email protected].

How to use quiz results appropriately:

• Use results as a starting point for reflection and self-awareness
• Identify areas where you might benefit from additional support or practice
• Share results with a teacher, school counsellor, or educational psychologist if you have concerns
• Do not use results to self-diagnose or assume you have a learning difficulty or psychological condition

If quiz results concern you: If a quiz result suggests potential learning difficulties, mental health concerns, or significant skill gaps, please discuss this with a qualified professional (such as an educational psychologist, school counsellor, or your GP) rather than making decisions based solely on the quiz outcome.
