EXAM PREPARATION COURSES
Our exam preparation courses are designed specifically to help students achieve the best score they can in their SACE Stage 2 final examinations. They consist of 5-8 intensive sessions run over the course of two weeks leading up to the exam. Each course gives a review of the entire subject’s content, highlighting critical areas which may have been forgotten, then focuses heavily on strategies and shortcuts for solving exam-style questions.
- Duration: 2-week courses with sessions every other day, commencing around the start of term 3 holidays.
- Where: Altitutor; Level 2, 100 Currie St, Adelaide SA 5000.
- Cost: $20/hr, which equates to $60 per 3-hour session.
Why revise with us?
Tutors you can trust
As top achieving students studying Medicine at universities around Adelaide, we know the courses back to front, and have strategies and techniques which are not found in textbooks.
Summary notes
Summary sheets (sciences): Each topic is re-taught with one of our summary sheets, which is an A4 sheet which outlines everything you need to know from that topic. Cheat sheets (maths): We provide cheat sheets for each topic, as a template for you to write your own.
Practice exams provided
Each exam session, we do a practice exam under the guidance of tutors. This allows students to see what they know well and what they need to revise more. All practice exams are provided by us.
Personalised help
The content we cover in each session is dictated by YOU and what you need help revising. Whether that's re-teaching content or smashing through exams, sessions will be tailored to prepare each and every student for the exam.
