Why this NBT Course?
Our NBT Course is designed to provide a comprehensive and unique approach to mastering the National Benchmark Tests.
Unlike other courses that focus solely on practice questions, we have developed a curriculum that emphasises the core skills necessary to excel in the assessment.
Here's what sets our Advanced NBT Course apart:
Skill-based learning
Our course concentrates on building the foundational skills required to tackle various question types and problem-solving situations, ensuring students are well-equipped to handle the NBT's challenges.
Comprehensive practice
With over 600 practice questions, students have ample opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills and gain familiarity with the test format.
Presentation Options
We cater to different learning preferences by offering both contact (face-to-face) and online versions of the course. Contact students also receive access to the online pre-recorded lessons for a blended learning experience
Pre-recorded Lessons
Our expert facilitatorsfacilitators have created a series of pre-recorded lessons that cover essential concepts and strategies, making it easy for students to learn at their own pace and revisit material as needed.
Optional Materials
Online students receive digital access to course content, with the option to order a hard copy of the materials for an additional fee. This ensures that all students can tailor their learning experience to their preferred format.
Practice Assessments
Each section of the course concludes with a practice assessment, allowing students to gauge their progress and identify areas for improvement.
By focusing on the development of core skills and offering a flexible, personalised learning experience, our NBT Course stands out from the competition. We are committed to providing students with the tools and support they need to achieve their best possible results on the National Benchmark Tests.

General
Do lessons continue in the IEB/GDE holidays?
We teach straight through the GDE and IEB holidays. We are very passionate about getting our students to achieve their best results!
General
Do you teach on public holidays?
We generally do not teach on any public holidays as most of our NBT Courses stretch over long weekends and public holidays.
General
Do you also assist weaker candidates?
We help ALL students and some of our weaker candidates have improved their marks by up to 45%. The average improvement across all grades and subjects is 19%. You should also keep in mind that around a quarter of our students come to us already achieving 80's but need 90's to be accepted into their chosen degrees - this makes it slightly more difficult to show a higher average improvement percentage.
General
Do you offer one-on-one lessons?
We do not offer any one-on-one lessons as our schedule simply does not allow us to do so. We have also found in the past that one-on-one lessons are somewhat counterproductive as the tutor ends up doing all the work and the student often doesn't get the opportunity to work as independently as they should.
Furthermore, the dynamic of our classes is different to that of school - school classrooms are often filled with students that are not focused on improving their marks (or even passing in general) whereas our classes only contain students that are willing to learn. This has the double sided benefit of increased conformity; where students apply themselves as well as a safe and productive environment to learn and practice. Socialisation amongst students is very powerful - we suggest that they receive it the right way.
General
How do your Contact Lessons work?
All of our lessons are group sessions and the number of students per class varies. We generally start a lesson by teaching one of the most common topics to all students, providing students with worksheets to practise. After this, we address the individual needs of students who must prepare for specific topics and/or tests. We give students many additional examples and exam relevant questions to practise.
