Course Description
This online course consists of four 2-hour sessions spread over four days. The course will cover an introduction to the ESAT test in order to prepare students hoping to take it in the Autumn or early in the new year.
The first day of the course will cover the maths component, relevant to each candidate, and then the three remaining days will be spread over the three sciences. The course will cover the marking criteria and go through topics that students most commonly find challenging, and students will have plenty of opportunity to interactively ask questions.The course is based on small group learning and therefore the course can be tailored to the needs of the students.
