Exam - Revision Courses - Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert
Today there are more options available to students now.
Many parents and students are asking me about supplementary tuition and revision courses, particularly around February midterm and Easter.
Revision courses can be very helpful when chosen carefully. With reputable providers, they are focused, structured, and take place at a time when students are off school and able to concentrate fully on consolidation and exam preparation.
In my opinion they provide better value for money than joining a grinds class at this time of the year.
It is not just what the students complete in a day, this will resonate through use of notes and practice material beyond the actual dates of the course.
As with all extra support, the value lies in choosing what best suits the individual student, the subject, along with projects & practical work breakdown in some subjects.
Many course providers offer valuable early booking incentives.
The student must want to engage with the course, attending with friends makes it much easier.
If unsure about the dates, check the cancellation policy, you can contact the provider in advance of booking, if you did have to cancel how much notice is required.
Used thoughtfully, a revision course can be a valuable part of a student’s overall preparation.
