Make her study or face the consequences?

Dd, year 7, has end of year exams coming up. Cue endless moaning when I ask her to revise, though she will eventually do it. So should I a) not nag/remind her to revise, to potentially learn from the consequences, or b) keep working on it so that she'll hopefully do well and not be upset about bad results?

I really believe that the secondary years are the ones where the child has to get their own motivation in order.

You can get as involved as you like, but then the grades will be yours and not your child's. A bad set of exam results may be just the kick up the bum they need?
