Why Easter is a crucial time for eggheads
Article Abstract:
There are many tutorial colleges and similar organizations in the UK offering Easter revision courses for those studying for GCSE and A-level examinations. These courses are aimed at students who are in danger of failing these examinations or who need to obtain a high grade in order to gain entry to their chosen undergraduate course. The popularity of A-level revision courses has also been boosted by the implementation of modular A-levels. Some larger colleges are able to prepare students not only for examinations in a particular subject but also for examinations run by specific examination boards.
