How we prepare students for the ACER/Ignite scholarship test?

1. Our focus is on enhancing our students’ core abilities in Maths, Creative and Persuasive Writing, and Humanities which are essential for this Scholarship test.
2. We teach, train and mentor our students in “study techniques”, “exam techniques”, “time management skills” and work extensively to improve their “exam finishing skills”.
3. We teach techniques to improve students confident in their abilities, and have the skill to work under-pressure during exam conditions to a greater degree therefore improving our students’ results.
4. We follow a structured approach that teaches and challenges students in various aspects which trains our students in the best possible way.
5. Every week, we give exercises and practice tests followed by regular homework to reinforce learning.
