Economics
Preliminary Course Review
Leading Edge is offering an Economics Preliminary Course
Review in the second half of term 3 to prepare students
for the year 11 preliminary exams, as well as providing a bridging
course for an easy transition into the HSC economics course. The
program involves:
- Four 2 hour sessions
- Excellent
weekly study notes
- Small group tuition
- Interactive
- Personal assistance as necessary
By presenting a concentrated program toward the completion of the Year
11 course, we believe that students attending this program will benefit
by reinforcing the crucial sections of the Year 11 course that are the
foundations of a successful transition to the HSC Economics syllabus,
as well as gaining the opportunity to review the essential aspects of
the Year 11 course before the preliminary exams.
