Supplementary courses prep for short gymi
Increase your chances of admission with better report card grades
Our supplementary courses help students lay the foundation for good report card grades and admission to the Gymnasium. Find out below for whom supplementary courses are worthwhile and what content is covered.
Why supplementary courses?
Our Preparatory courses focus entirely on the subjects that count in the exam - and in which many students particularly struggle: German, essays, and mathematics. However, since report card grades will also play a role in admission to the Short High School from 2023 ("preliminary performance grade"), we now offer supplementary courses for English and French.
- In the supplementary courses, we provide participants with comprehensive support to close gaps in school lessons and systematically improve certificate grades.
- The preliminary grade is composed of the certificate grades of the 2nd semester of the 2nd secondary grade. The subjects mathematics, German, French, English, and natural sciences count, which together make up 50% of the overall grade.
- With a combination of preparatory and supplementary courses, students can achieve better grades in relevant subjects, prepare optimally for the exam, and thus significantly increase their chances of admission to the Short High School.
