Q: How do I know if I’m/my child is ready?
A: Only students who meet the requirements are nominated by their teachers for exams. Our upcoming exam session will be Mid-March, you/your child should be ready to submit the exam video on time. Additionally, the MTB offers flexible upload dates so that if any external factors affect your exam preparation, you can always upload the video later without losing exam fees. Students should practice regularly and attend scheduled lessons in order to achieve satisfactory exam results.
Q: Can I skip the grade?
A: Skipping grades is not recommended since a student who misses a grade still needs to catch up on what was skipped, and it will not take less time. Furthermore, skipping grades can lead to lower results as students do not properly complete all grades and do not receive all necessary information from the examiner on what needs to be improved before moving on to the next grade.
