NESCOL Preparation for Higher Courses

There are a number of short courses on offer at NESCOL to assist students in preparing for end of year exams in Higher Sciences and Maths.

Over seven evening sessions in the weeks leading up to the final exam, learners will work in small groups with other candidates to practise exam-style questions. Coaching during the class will help them improve the way they approach a range of questions. They will also cover aspects of the curriculum that have been identified as poorly answered in previous exams.
