Are you preparing for your Methods exams and just aren’t sure what to revise?
Maybe you are stuck on Average rates of change, differentiation or another topic from the curriculum?
We can help you out!
Our team knows your schedule is packed with homework from your teachers, school, sports and your job. So, we created a course that you can engage with on-demand.
This means if you can’t sleep at 3:00 am because your brain is still trying to figure out how Discrete random variables work, you can get up and hop into our course.
Our team has created over 3 hours of video content (more if you grab unit 3 too) to whisk away all the hours of struggling to understand a topic vaguely explained in your textbook.
Everything in our course is:
- Broken up into digestible chunks and topics.
- Clearly explained by an expert.
- Comes with practice questions and answers.
- A suggested plan for study to cover everything you need to know a manageable task.
- Provides all the worked solutions, clearly explained by our tutors for the 2020 methods exams.
Best part? You get 24/7 access until the day after your methods exam.
