In order to prepare Form 2 and Form 4 students for high-stakes national exams, students will engage in test preparation classes led by exam preparation coaches. Coaches will lead one class of Form 2 or Form 4 students. By using past exam papers and other resources provided by the Director of Programming, exam preparation coaches will plan and execute test preparation lessons to support students. These lessons will include instruction on facing and answering different exam questions and other test-taking strategies. Students will be surveyed once every two months to determine how prepared they feel for exams, and will be given a mock exam once every four months (as well as at the beginning of test prep classes) to determine student progress and the effectiveness of test preparation sessions.
A common practice among teachers at public schools is the withholding of exam-specific preparation unless a small fee is paid to them for after-school classes. Such teachers may hold exam preparation classes after normal school hours, excluding those who do not pay. In order to prepare Form 2 and Form 4 students for high-stakes national exams, subject-specific instructors will actively engage students in test-preparation strategies sessions as part of their weekly lessons. Instructors of Form 2 or 4 students, by using past exam papers and other resources provided by the Director of Programming, will plan and execute test preparation lessons to support students. These lessons will include instruction on facing and answering different exam questions and other test-taking strategies. Students will be surveyed once every two months to determine their attitude towards the exam (e.g. how prepared they feel for particular exams, the effectiveness of targeted coaching), and will be given a mock exam once every four months to determine progress and the effectiveness of test preparation sessions.
