Every grind is live and recorded. Miss one and the recording is there the same night — and stays there all year.

The run-in

The last six weeks, we go up a gear.

From Monday 19 April, 6th Year Higher goes to three grinds a week and both 6th Ordinary and 3rd Year go to two. Then, once term is over, we come back in for the two exam weekends — Saturday and Sunday night before Paper 1, and again before Paper 2.

That's ten extra grinds for a 6th Year Higher student, at the exact point in the year it counts for most.

No extra charge. Not one cent.
