Common questions
How does the timetable adapt?
Every week the plan is rebuilt from two things: how you scored on recent mastery checks, and how much of the syllabus is still ahead of you. Topics you are struggling with get more time. Topics you have already demonstrated get less. Nothing is repeated for its own sake.
How many units can I register for?
Up to three units in a single registration, or the whole level. If you need more than three units but not the full level, register again once your first selection is under way, or talk to us and we will advise.
What assessments are included?
Mastery checks after each topic, a short test to assess your understanding of the concept, real past papers, and a final assessment before your sitting. Marking is immediate and the feedback names the gap rather than just the score.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, on a section or a level. A section (KES 14,000) can be paid as two instalments of KES 7,000. A level (KES 28,000) can be paid as two instalments of KES 14,000 — the first at registration and the second a month later. Your first instalment opens the first half of the topics; the balance opens the rest.
