Grade 12 students will sit mock exams designed with the International Baccalaureate’s format and level of demand. This experience is a chance to simulate as closely as possible what the international evaluations will be like, as well as strengthen students’ academic development and their time management and organizational skills.
This stage is part of their preparation for the official IB exams happening in April and May. We trust that this experience will significantly help them consolidate their knowledge and face this important academic challenge with more confidence.
