So how do you pick the right NBT Prep for you?

If this is the first time you are reading about the NBTs and NBT preparation, then it can be overwhelming to know what to do. There are a few things you need to know before deciding which preparation is right for you. First, you’ll need to decide whether or not you need to do just the AQL test or both the AQL and MAT tests. Second, you’ll need to decide which preparation is right for you. Should you join a workshop, course or do both? We’ve made a short explanation video to help you to better understand the NBTs and make these decisions.

Top Frequently Asked Questions
What is the National Benchmark Test (NBT)?

The NBT (National Benchmark Test) is a set of assessments designed to measure a learner’s academic readiness for university by evaluating academic literacy, general knowledge, and mathematical skills. There are two tests: the AQL (Academic and Quantitative Literacy), which is a multiple-choice test with a three-hour writing time, and the MAT (Mathematics), also a multiple-choice test with a three-hour writing time. The NBTs are used by many universities alongside NSC results as part of their admission criteria. They are available in English and Afrikaans, but both tests must be written in the same language.

When should I write my NBT test?

Each university has different deadlines, with some requiring the NBT as early as June or July. It’s best to choose a date that aligns with your application requirements and allows enough time to prepare while avoiding clashes with important school events. Writing earlier in the year offers no disadvantage, as the test adapts over time. Based on our experience and advice from NBT expert Mrs Pike, we recommend writing before trials, ideally in the July holidays, when the test focuses on Grade 11 and early Grade 12 content. Medical and Health Science applicants must write by early July. If you’re taking an NBT preparation course, schedule your test about a week after completing it. NBT results are valid for three years, making it beneficial to write in Matric even if you plan a gap year. While January testing is possible for those unable to write earlier, it carries risks for university placement and selection, so writing in Matric is strongly recommended.

What is the testing style of the NBT like?

The NBT is a standardised multiple-choice test, which differs significantly from the continuous and formative assessments most South African learners are used to. Unlike school exams, there are no marks for working, meaning accuracy is crucial. Questions may have multiple seemingly correct answers, requiring careful reasoning. The difficulty is randomised, so the hardest question could appear first. The test is a one-time assessment used for university applications, and calculators are not allowed. Additionally, learners do not know in advance which specific topics will be tested, making thorough preparation essential.

Why should I prepare for my NBT?

The NBT is a unique, high-stakes test that differs from standard school assessments. It is multiple-choice, has no marks for working, and requires accuracy under time pressure. Many universities use it for admissions, and a strong result can improve your chances. Preparing helps you build confidence, familiarize yourself with the question style, and develop effective test strategies, ensuring you perform at your best.

Here's what our learners have to say

24'000 learners have prepared with Advantage Learn - here's what they think about it!

The Al teacher is very good but the Ql I did not really have much understanding towards her

Sisanda Twala, 2024

Great teachers, that taught all aspects of the test in detail. This program helped me to be well prepared for the test

Musa Mtsweni, 2024

NBT preparation course was very helpful

Tshegofatso Mokoena, 2024

amazing so much help ❤️

Nosipho Ndhlovu, 2024

Most of the mock questions came into the actual NBT paper, I really recommend this course.

Lyall Kleinhans, 2024

very helpful for both mat and aql, some questions were even the same in my actual nbt :)

Ruhi Singh, 2024

Definitely helpful for preparation. You need to know your basics, but the information this course provides takes you over the top. The website is clean and easy to navigate and provides a seamless customer experience. I would definitely recommend making the investment in this course.

Amy Saunders, 2024

I love the NBT course. The videos and past papers really helped.

Karabo Masenya, 2024

all good

aryan gounden, 2024

I did courses for both MAT and AQL and I must say they helped a lot more than I thought they would. I was surprised at the efficiency, we got through both workbooks in 2 days yet I didn't feel like we rushed or like I couldn't keep up. I feel a lot more confident now and the MAT course also helped me with maths in general for my finals. I wish there were in person prep classes for matric finals as well though. I do online school so the physical class environment and having a teacher present for the NBT prep was a nice change.

Nasira Adams, 2024

This definitely prepared me for the test. A truly appreciated service.

Lesedi Selokela, 2024

I definitely have a better idea of what to expect in the NBT's. The course also assisted me in further preparation and to know what to concentrate on.

Cindy Cowley, 2024

This workshop was vital in my NBT preparation. The presenter was thoughtful, helpful and knowledgeable. The webinars, together with the accompanied mock tests provided by Advantage Learn, were the only tools that I needed for these tests. Thanks so much!

Louis Laubscher, 2024

A very useful course. I learnt a lot, really helped me to prepare for my exams.

Gabrielle Pfister, 2024

What a great experience, this gave me amazing preparation for the NBT's! Loved everything about the workshop.

Keara Loftie-Eaton, 2024

The NBT workshop was an excellent preparatory sessions.

Tunji Adeniran, 2024

The mock tests, and the question/ answer breakdowns are effective.

khazi destiny, 2024

NBT Prep with Advantage Learn was extremely helpful! I learnt new techniques and feel confident I am well prepared. I would definitely recommend this training to other students.

Rory Mazery, 2024

This course was very helpful as it showed me what I could expect for the NBT Test. If I hadn’t been on this course I would have likely overthought and overall not done well on the paper. We were also taught methods that will assist us in grade 12 math and uni math due to it using our brain instead of relying on a calculator.

Joshua Williamson, 2024

The session was incredibly helpful and gave a good throughline to what the NBT will look like

Woxola Nqaba Kudiabor Anyetei, 2024

This course familiarised me with the way in which an NBT is written, I was revised on many topics that I had forgotten and the course gave me a lot off skills which allowed me to save time in my NBT, a very necessary skill needed for the test. THANK YOU!!!

Tony Jones, 2024

I am definitely glad to have done the MAT portion of the NBT prep, as it prepared me to think differently. It didn't properly prepare me though, as the MAT questions were way more intense and hectic. I've never experienced Maths quite on this level of thinking.

Ethan Herbst, 2024

great!

Mia Naidoo, 2024

Very helpful, thank you

Carissa Tredoux, 2024

It was absolutely brilliant , the teaching was immaculate and truly helped me! Thank you so much Cris!

Tayla Krause, 2024

The teachers in the online workshop were passionate and engaging. The content really helped me to see other ways of thinking and approaching maths problems I otherwise would not have considered. It also helped me to see my gaps in knowledge and which maths topics to focus on revising.

Megan Tichareva, 2024

Very helpful, not just for NBT's but also for exam prep, the MAT booklet is an excellent resource! I feel more prepared than ever for these NBT's. The teachers were all so kind and helpful, even during breaks they were taking questions. Though it is expensive, the resources are worth it.

Ameerah Thomas, 2024

My daughter attended both NBT workshops 2 weeks prior to her mid year exams. I have seen a remarkable shift in the manner in which she approaches especially her Maths studies. I am most impressed with the skills she learnt at the NBT workshop and recommend it to anyone and everyone. I had been struggling to find a suitable online tutor, it was pleasing to learn that Advantage learn could do this for her as part of their Maths Neo series, we also purchased the online workshop for Physics. I couldn't be hppier. Thank you so much for everything.

Sheilla Muller, 2024

The teacher taught me tricks that will help me inmy finals

Obakeng Mochubele, 2024

The MAT prep is extremely long with a lot of information at once. I feel it would be preferable to do the MAT course over 2 days

Hannah Toni Koff, 2024

I’m very satisfied with the content and how it prepares you for NBTs. I definitely recommend Advantage Learn!

Asande Thabiso, 2024

Very informative 2 day workshop and good overview for examinations for both Maths and English

Jade Young, 2024

It was very helpful. I learnt new tips and tricks that are very beneficial in successfully answering questions in a faster and more efficient way. Not only was it beneficial for my NBT prep but also for my math exams as it serves for a revision lesson as well. The notes that they provided as well as practice examples really make sure that us students are fully equipped for the NBT test. I am more confident and have gained a new mindset called “Think NBT” which I think many people do not know of. I 100% recommend this course.

vongmubby, 2024

Absolutely phenomenal. It taught me tips and tricks that cut my solving time in half. 10/10 recommend

Jasmita Singh, 2024

It was great i learnt a lot of new things the teachers where really fun and interactive and the lesson overall was not boring

Daksh Singh, 2024

Diyanah Bulbulia, 2024

It was very helpful and I gained a lot from it. Thank you very much.

Kelsi Furmage, 2024

I found the lessons very helpful, and our teacher was very good at explaining things well, but I found it difficult to have such long periods without any scheduled breaks, and I think the program could benifit well from breaking up the sessions a bit.

Allana Bartlo, 2024

Thank you for this opportunity for my sin, he really praised the way workshop was conducted and hoping for the best for his exams

HN Gumede-Moeletsi, 2024

HN Gumede-Moeletsi, 2024

It was very user friendly and helpful.

Shevi Strauss, 2023

Very useful. Considering I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the NBTs I do truly believe that this helped me massively when I finally wrote them. If you are in two minds about utilising this product, but like me have no real idea what to expect then I highly recommend it.

Very helpful

Samantha Hyde, 2023

It was enjoyable and I learnt a lot. I feel like I'll be prepared to write my NBTs now. It felt a bit fast paced, but all in all it was a good experience.

Thede Tshabalala, 2023

The advantage learn NBT course was extremely helpful. The videos are short but straight to the point, the exercises and practice questions are similar to the ones we're tested on, in the NBT. Many say that you cant really prepare for the nbt but with advantage learn you can.

Ziyanda Lembethe, 2023

The course is well presented and the examples are challenging. Teacher is well informed and makes the lessons easy to follow.

RIZA, 2023

Amazing course helps a lot with the nbt

Swaleha Desai, 2023

Eugenie Burger, 2023

Such a great environment with passionate teachers. The workshop was a big help

emnetema, 2023

Lené Kellerman, 2023

The workshop was excellent. Very grateful that I could attend.

Good preparation for the NBT’s. Especially helped to have access to the online course to revise concepts closer to the exam date, after having attended the online course.

tnagdee, 2023

Excellent course

Safwaan Nagdee, 2023

Both teachers truly helped me fully understand the concepts that I was rather lacking understanding in. The preparation was beneficial.

Tsholofelo Bokako, 2023

Trish is an absolute genius, with the further studies Math program. I understand the content real well when she teaches it . She was just as dynamic with the NBT preparation. She went step by step through the material and put my fears at ease. It was a privilege meeting her in person and attending her NBT preparation session. I feel confident now .

Rowan Gounder, 2023

helped me understand the gaps

naidoodivyeshen, 2023

We needed a few more breaks as there was a lot to process. The lecturer was superb.

Joss Alexander, 2023

This workshop made me feel more prepared to write the NBT Maths paper. The book will help me to revise the materials again before the test, and it is also great that I can take a mock exam on your website to complete practice questions. I did a similar workshop with my usual extra maths teacher, and her examples seemed trickier than yours. So I am hoping that the test is more like your questions :-)

talisa.rademeyer, 2023

The teachers dip really put of effort into taking the time to teach us however in terms of properly and effectively learning, the management of time is weak, in that it is too chunked and leaves you mentally exhausted instead of leaving students with a feeling of understanding and in need of practising what was taught.

Zanamuhla Nzimande, 2023

It was really a fantastic course that prepared me so well for the NBTs. I highly doubt I would’ve done as well I did if I had not had the preparation of this course. Personally I think I would have managed with just the MAT course, which was in and of itself brilliant for even my matric maths. Thank you advantage learn!

samlister45, 2022

From the training itself to all the notes and additional resources online I could not have been more well prepared to write my NBTS.

kmarkoulides, 2022

Great content explained very well and a great way to prepare for NBTs.

miteshsa101, 2022

advantage learn, NBT preparation package is helpful as it is helping me understand many concepts of MATH and again i get to develop new skills on how to tackle problems when doing my MATH homework's and again during the examinations in both mathematics papers and with lessons provided for the AQL, I get to develop a better understating of other English vocabularies. it is very useful I recommend it to every person who needs help with NBT preparations .

ritshidzephunyugu, 2022

Thanks to Advantage Learn for their well designed NBT preparation workshops. It provided my daughter with the foundation to excel at the examination.

Tracy Anandham, 2022

It was something completely new to me as I’d never done the CAPS/IEB curriculum, and the sessions helped out so much. The extra tests and videos are also super helpful

nicola.caldas, 2022

It was a good course and it Helped me get 80 for my NBT test.

hanzi28012004786, 2022

Best course to use for preparations for NBTs! The tricks and methods thought in both MAT and AQL were extremely helpful when writing the exam. The questions were very similar to what you would expect. Thank you!

Jesutofunmi Ifeoluwa Adewumi, 2022

The videos were extremely helpful and made so much sense. The content of the videos mimicked that in the NBT and as a result I got 78% in my Math NBT. The teachers answer quickly and I’m so grateful to advantage learn for all the help.

matanhirefadzai, 2022

This course is EVERYTHING you need to ace you NBT's. Trish teaches not only content for the NBT's but a way of thinking that you can carry through to your final matric examinations. This course was a delight to take part in and made a massive difference in my understanding of mathematics.

Gabriel Broderick Poulsen, 2022

Absolutely incredible workshop! It was unbelievably helpful. I wouldn’t have been able to cope with the NBTs without it. Thank you so much!

22broery, 2022

The work shop was very good and I got very good preparation and couldn't have done it without the course. I felt so much more comfortable and prepared and ready for what to expect.

Rachel Nell, 2021

It went really well with my AQL, I achieved 75% for it. The course was amazing and taught me how to think in the situations as it is very different from the conventional english we learn at school.

Rachel Nell, 2021

My Son did the AQL. Unfortunately we didn't realise that we had to do the MAT course as well so we were unprepared for that.

Sarah Thomson, 2021

I just wrote me NBT today and honestly I am so glad I did it NBT prep courses. Without it I wouldn’t able to use the skills they have taught me.

Murielle Nkazi, 2021

The teacher wasted a lot of time in the beginning. We didn’t finish what needed to be done within the 2 workshops. However the recorded version with Trish Pike is a lot better

Gabi Davis, 2021

My son phoned the workshop a week before his NBT's hugely beneficial. He knew what to expect, was prepared and the test went well for him.

Nicola Morrow, 2021

Thank you.The workshop was really helpful and fun. At school I can still use what I learnt there to help me.

Reabetswe Mohlaka, 2021

It was really helpful,thank you.I'm not sure if I would be able to think strategically without the workshop.

Reabetswe Mohlaka, 2021

The MAT workshop was definitely worth my time. After being so used to using a calculator, the workshop really helped open my mind to methods I would never have thought of on my own. The workshop helped me understand the ways in which I could analyze different questions and how to approach them. The teaching was easy to understand and the response to questions was clear and efficient.

Yusuf Hajat, 2021

This AQL workshop is a MUST a great learning experience that you do not get at any other school, really helpful to my knowledge

Karla Espinaco Marrero, 2021

Great course! Teachers are very helpful and thorough.

Paul Reeves, 2021

The MAT Workshops was really reallyyy helpful in preparing me for the type of questions that the NBT's require. Great preparation!

Very insightful workshop with quick and clever ways of doing problems.

Kerissa Moodley, 2021

Absolutely Fanatastic! On completion of the AQL and MAT course, I felt well prepared for what I could expect to receive in the NBT. Our teacher (Chris) was outstanding And really brought the challenging concepts down to the student level, which definitely made it easy and relatable to understand. Over a 10/10 course and would highly recommend it to others that aim to tackle the NBTs and do more than succeed!!

Erin Rose Ungerer, 2021

Hello - attended the mathematics preparation - please advise when I can attend the English preparation.

KAMIL SINGH, 2021

Tied every aspect and section together

Aidan Taft, 2021

I can't image having to write the NBTs without have doing this workshop, I would definitely recommend.

Elmien Putter, 2021

Absolutely fantastic! Great tips and tricks

Katie Crichton-Stuart, 2021

was helpful to see the lay out and testing style of the AQL.

Mia Nunez, 2021

The workshop was very helpful in both teaching you how to answer in multiple choice as well as adjust your mindset to learn and see maths in a different way to normal school maths lessons.

Mia Nunez, 2021

I’m 25, applying to go back to varsity and was required to write my NBTs. This course was so useful for someone like me who has been out of school and away from school maths for 7 years. Thanks so much!

Nicole Haird, 2020

The only thing I would ask for is some extra questions to work through but overall, a fantastic course.

Isabelle Vermeulen, 2020

I absolutely love it! It has helped me so much - even more than a any teacher I have ever had. I wrote my NBTs this past weekend and I can say with confidence that it went very well. So thank you Advantage Learn keep doing what you are doing and please don't change.

Rachel Danilov, 2020

Really enjoyed the course. It helped me a lot not only with NBT’s but for matric as well. Would really appreciate if there was an option to just practice hard questions specifically(especially for mathematics). There is a spot quiz tool which does do that to an extent which I found helpful. The questions given were spot on and even found some of the exact same questions in the MAT NBT.

Jonathan Morrison, 2020

I received a 90% on my AQL and Mat NBT, my only preparation material was the Advantage Learn course. I would definitely recommend this course. -Farida Cajee

Farida Cajee, 2020

Very helpful and organized. Amazing with notifying and keeping updated.

Sarah Harding, 2020

Incredibly helpful course, not only for NBTs but for all assessments. Highly recommended!

Joseph Jonah John, 2020

Would really not recommend. Was not online user friendly and didn’t deliver what was promised.

Leor Novick, 2020

Hierdie is uitstekende studiemateriaal en oefeninge, wat beslis baie help om leerders voor te berei vir die NBT eksamen. Daarsonder sou my seun se uitslae beslis baie laer gewees het.

Lizanne Herselman, 2020

Advantage learn het my goed voorberei vir my NBT toetse. Daar is baie soortgelyke vrae in die toetse gevra as wat Advantage Learn my voor voorberei het. Ek sal hierdie kurses voorstel vir enige iemand wat voorbereid in hulle toetse wil instap.

Berne van Heerden, 2020

Would definitely recommend these courses when prepping for your NBTs. The work is explained clearly and it is very easy to understand what you would need to do during the test.

Amazing course that helped me improve my marks with over 30%!!

Kiarin Naidoo, 2020

If you are unsure of how to prepare for your nbt's (like most students) this is great option.

Constance Jonkers, 2020

I was a bit skeptical about paying so much for a course but it was one of the best choices I made, I had one of the best results amongst my peers, I would definitely recommend this course to anyone writing the NBT’s

NIKHIL SEWDASS, 2020

Such great help with the preparation course covering all relevant topics and the website tests for preparation. The spot tests assisted me in finding my areas of weakness. Trish is a fantastic teacher that is always willing to help when you need assistance, and her experience is valued. I would have never been able to do as well as I did without it!

Noah Ditz, 2020

From an educator's perspective I found it to be excellent It would challenge the learners and prepare them well for the NBT examination

Marie Sturgess, 2020

it was really helpful

Nikita Krost, 2020

Thank you for helping me to prepare for the NBTs. However, it would be nice if there were different papers than the mock tests we were provided with. The staff otherwise, were very friendly and helpful and I learned a lot during the time that I attended my workshops.

Thanda Madekurozwa, 2020

It's really been so helpful! I've found it's helped me so much especially with how much detail is given and effort is put into each section, question and correction.

Kelly Corbett, 2020

Warren Freemantle, 2020

It was a really good course and I think it will become of value when preparing for NBT.

Warren Freemantle, 2020

I found this course helpful in preparing for the NBT and the live streaming worked well.

Garth Freemantle, 2020

I found this course helpful in preparing for the NBT and the live streaming worked well.

Garth Freemantle, 2020

When we first practiced some questions I was barely able to understand them but with the workshop I answered a lot more practice questions correctly. This workshop was incredibly helpful and I would suggest to anyone who wants to feel more confident and reassured about their NBTs!

Bianca Dos Santos, 2020

It greatly helped me learn how to approach the MAT NBTs and taught me skills that I didn't previously possess. It also made me feel a lot more confident about the prospect of writing my NBTs! It truly was a brilliant workshop!

Bianca Dos Santos, 2020

The breaks were too short. We only had a 10 minutes break throughout the 4 hours of the workshop. The teacher wasn’t the best suited for this workshop.

Bianca Joseph, 2020

Trish was great

Christina Katakuzinos, 2020

The workshop really helps in putting you in the mind set and way of thinking that is needed when tackling the test. I recommend doing it and learning as much as you can from it. NBTs offer a very different way of testing than we are used to. It’s worth it

Lunani Gamede, 2020

I found the course unbelievably helpful and I can honestly say I am now well prepared and confident for the test.

Owen Botha, 2020

That workshop was extremely helpful and gave me insight as to what to expect. The NBTs are a very different type of test and this course helped me prepare better for what's to come. I really enjoyed it!

Anusha Singh, 2020

It improves your interpretation skills in English texts and enhances your understanding of the data analyzing section of mathematics

Philile Shelembe, 2020

Great interactive experience. Makes you even wonder why you needed a calculator in the first place!

Philile Shelembe, 2020

Very helpful and makes me feel more prepared and confident for the NBTs

Kayuri Chetty, 2020

I found it to be a great help and very easy to use. The workshop put my mind at ease about the NBTs and now I know what to expect. Thank you!

Matthew Beukes, 2020

The first session (Saturday) was very insightful however I felt that the the second session (Sunday) was very rushed also considering that this was a topic I'm struggling on. With any questions that needed to be answered, I ended up just guessing as I couldn't keep up.

Michaela Van Der Berg, 2020

Despite not being able to see her students during the livestream the teacher knew which specific sections we would struggle in which is indication of her experience and allowed us to trust her fully in preparing us.

Maria Magagula, 2020

The live stream workshop was easy going, enlightening and I am so grateful for the use of Nearpod interactive sessions as it gave me indication of how fast I need to think and answer the nbt questions.

Maria Magagula, 2020

Very well co-ordinated and extremely helpful in preparing for the exams. The Maths definitely was a shocker, my learner will need to revise her strategy.

Hettie Randall, 2020

The NBT prep course for the AQL section was extremely helpful. it brought about a new perspective on i respond to certain questions. I learnt many new things that i had no idea of previously. The tutor worked well in explaining all the concepts and worked with us answering very difficult questions. He taught me new ways to work out questions in a much faster and concise method. The live streamed course also allowed me to send through questions that i did not understand and they were answered immediately. i definitely recommend these courses to others who are preparing for their nbt tests

Talia Shanice Augustine, 2020

This is an excellent workshop to take. All of the lecturers where kind and answered all of my questions.

Henriette Lategan, 2020

I would recommend this course to all students. I am glad I decided to use this course to prepare for the nbt because of the in-depth live sessions.

Dani Otto, 2020

It was extremely informative and very well planned out. I enjoyed the teaching and understood what was being taught. It was very worthwhile!

Jessica Randall, 2020

Very helpful and informative. Great notes and very friendly teacher who is kind, smart and helpful

Rayde Kruger, 2020

Very helpful and informative, thank you

Scott Blackwell, 2020

Awesome!!!

Megan Meredith, 2020

My son says the course was extremely beneficial and worthwhile

Janine Feldman, 2020

I really enjoyed the lessons, if we wanted to ask a question, the question would be answered immediately and the tricks given by the teacher was very helpful.

Skyla Arendse, 2020

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and found it very useful.

Jaime Altshuler, 2020

For what it was, it did it’s job, I feel I have a good understanding of potential questions. I wish, however, it didn’t feel so impersonal however it’s understood that that is due to our circumstances

Rohan Bhula, 2020

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, it was very useful.

Jaime Altshuler, 2020

great learning experience. easy to understand and well explained, if someone had a question it was answered very quickly.

Jacques Horn, 2020

Awesome workshop, the tutor was amazing and I have learnt so much!

Adrienne Addinall-Kokkas, 2020

Excellent tuition, many topics covered which we haven't even had covered by our teachers in school. Feel more prepared (and a little bit scared because now I know NBTs aren't as easy as they're made out to be.)

Adrienne Addinall-Kokkas, 2020

the course was very very good. The only complaint I have is that the maths went a little too quickly for my liking. Other than that, the course was great.

Tatiana Vlahos, 2020

the educators were extremely helpful, and I really think it helped.

Tatiana Vlahos, 2020

Hi Mike and Trish, my daughter really enjoyed her on online sessions with you. Many thanks Saira

Saira Atkinson, 2020

It was a very organized and helpful course

Ashlyn Maitin, 2020

Very efficient service the learners gave positive feedback and say it has helped them to prepare for the exams. Thank you!

Hettie Randall, 2020

It was super informative and helpful. I am going to ace the nbts now!

Thando Silinda, 2020

It was really helpful and interactive!

Sayuri Naidoo, 2020

I would actually recommend doing more webinars as it saves you guys costs and can therefore lower the cost of the nbt courses as I found the course very helpful.

Justin Brooks, 2020

Really worth it, gives you a new and quicker way of thinking

Thejal Maharaj, 2020

I think the workshop was beneficial. Understandable with regards to time, I feel like it was done quite fast paced. But it was helpful.

James Lowe, 2020

Well ordered and carried out and very professional

Shivaan Naidoo, 2020

It was very helpful!

Aied Alenezi, 2020

The workshop was excellent!

Aied Alenezi, 2020

Best preparation ever.

Nkwanyana Vukile, 2020

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and found them highly beneficial.

Jaime Altshuler, 2020

Very helpful and informative. I particularly enjoyed the ‘shortcuts’ and ‘tricks’ presented in the video.

Atiyah Asmal, 2020

A good review of concepts that will be necessary to know for the NBT AQL test. I especially thought the practice quizzes were useful.

Santhani Rungan, 2020

This was a very useful session! Lots of tips and techniques that will be necessary for the NBT tests. The Nearpod session was good to simulate a short testing situation. Emily was a good teacher.

Santhani Rungan, 2020

I absolutely loved the online workshop. It actually helped me understand better and the quizzes kept me motivated throughout the entire lesson.

Suné Pieterse, 2020

It was very much rushed. Im writing the Afrikaans AQL and I desired to receive more tips with the AL test, on things like how I should prepare, which big afrikaans words should I know because I struggle with a lot of word terminology. But i guess it's just me. The maths was fine. Insightful . Dilla is a maths teacher after all. Not blaming her I respect and know she was out of her comfort zone giving the afrikaans.

Hoffmann du Toit, 2020

Sir was an amazing teacher. He explained concepts very well and clearly. He made sure we understood and gave us additional time to go through and complete the last test.

Diya Lutchman, 2020

Really helpful, opens you up to a new way of thinking that is necessary to do well

Thejal Maharaj, 2020

Emily found the session very useful and it has given her the extra confidence needed for her upcoming NBT test.

Ruth Boake, 2020

Well organized and great under the lockdown circumstances

Shaheen Govender, 2020

Love love love - highly recommended!

Katelyn Coetzer, 2020

The workshop was extremely helpful and taught me many new skills. It has also boosted my confidence and minimized my worries for the coming up NBT examination.

Clara Lubbe, 2020

Very professional and well run. Extremely easy to follow

Kasthurba Maharaj, 2020

This course was really helpful especially during this time. Without it I would not have been able to fully understand the topics I was covering.

kesharv arjun, 2020

Very good lesson using various techniques and thought processes to determine answers. Very good overall.

Tegan Short, 2020

It was helpful and informative

Mseleku Pamela, 2020

Everything is good but The question should more strong and hard to be prepared to the NBT exam

SADIQ ALMUBARAK, 2019

Thank you so much, this course was extremely helpful. I left high school a while ago and this was a great revision for my NBTs. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about getting that good score to qualify for your degree and getting accepted into University.

Sisipho Lufele, 2019

Great help. Really helped me to prepare

Anelke Van der merwe, 2019

It is a wonderful course, it improved my NBT results dramatically. It also helped me with my maths exam preparation. Thank you so much!

Alejandra Kapuire, 2019

The online preparation is very enriching and helpful. It is of great benefit for anyone preparing to write NBT. I've been recommending it to other students. A summary that awakens the spirit.

Esther Maris, 2019

Quick reminder of difficult maths and clear explanation of problems.

Nerissa Serfontein, 2019

Would highly recommend this NBT course. The video explanations are a great help and many of the Math questions were very similar to the actual NBT. Do make sure that you give yourself sufficient time to work through the course.

Keshin Bheema, 2019

Absolutely a lifesaving course!

Waheed Amanjee, 2019

I thoroughly enjoyed this application as it prepared me for the NBT setting with relevant information and time constraints, however i was slightly irritated by the fact that i couldn't reset mock tests once i had completed them. I suggest the option for individuals to reset mock tests on certain topics once completed. Otherwise this is an amazing service and i would strongly recommend it to anyone preparing for the NBTs.

signe jwan, 2019

Great course, very helpful and easy to understand, thank you so much.

Aerin Martin, 2019

Guys please try the course its so worth I know the fee is a bit steep but trust me its all worth it. Most importantly trust them because they know what they're doing.

Lindokle Mbaleki, 2019

Really helped me do well, especially in the AL section

Jordyn Nitch, 2019

Child informs me it is great - will see what eventuates. thanks.

Melanie Jenkins, 2019

This online preparation course is not only helpful for the NBTs themselves. It might as well prepare you for a possible unseen (higher order) question in the matric preparatory or final exam since it goes beyond what is normally assessed in the NSC.

Mosa Mabula, 2019

I encourage all students to take this online course.As a university student myself,it saved me a lot of preparation time and my NBT results improved dramatically.

Franke Van Rensburg, 2019

a very helpful course, but the one thing I found frustrating is that there are no lessons on logarithms.

amber Hamilton, 2019

Trish Pike's videos are amazing. I've never been more interested in maths as I was watching her videos! THANKS!

Lycia Hollis, 2019

The course really prepared me well for the MAT but the AQL was more difficult than I expected

Iman Cassim, 2019

It was excellent it helped me a lot, covered things I was not aware of before

Kashmika Reddy, 2019

Very useful and accurate course that really helped me, achieved 96% in MAT section. Will definitely recommend. The courses are displayed and ordered well and easy to use. The actual NBTs were also slightly easier than the mock ones

Muhammad Amod Carim, 2019

Definitely recommend this course.

Kerry Delport, 2019

This course provided a good base and preparation for the actual exam

Vicky Krengel, 2019

I am grateful for this programme as I am more prepared for the test. It gets tricky in the beginning, but you gradually get the hang of it .

Dorothee Mubembe, 2019

Happy with the help it gave my daughter

Aman Khan, 2019

Great learning tools and excellent prep for NBT

Elmarie Potgieter, 2019

It's really useful and has really helped me a lot, specifically the maths explanations. The videos explaining each question is a great help.

Imaan Atia, 2019

Great course for nbt preparation, good subject coverage , problem solving tips and application of knowledge. It also allows one to work at their own pace . Highly recommend it.

Declan Scheepers, 2019

It’s a good course, but some of the lectures are as confused as I am. They don’t seem to know what they are do.

Greeff Tayla, 2019

Wow learning has never been made that easy, Mam Pike. I am actually a university graduate student but since I was a learner and now student, Ive never experienced such detailed level of explanation within short bits and pieces of information.

Kenneth Nkele, 2019

The course helped me to prepare a lot for my NBTs. I felt very confident during my exam.

Mariam Essack, 2019

Your course is the only reason I will pass the MAT part of the NBTs. A few of the questions in the course were actually in my NBT test. Thank you very much for developing this course.

Joshua Basson, 2019

It was great! Really made concepts much easier and the way the material is presented is so easy to navigate

Kyle Ogle, 2019

Really nice

Julie Marinho, 2019

Awesome!!!

Letlhohonolo Mabelane, 2019

Useful course for any learner that is going to write the NBT's

Philasande Mnguni, 2019

Advantage learn prepared me well for my NBTs

christina kyriacos, 2019

Advantage Learn is a really informative site that helped me a lot to study for my NBT's I recommend it to anyone who needs help with studying.

Tanya Paul, 2019

Helpful and well set out

Ayyaan Bhimma, 2019

I would have found the information more useful if it was divided into revision of basic concepts and actual content of the test.

Maria Seitz, 2019

Lessons were very well taught with easy understanding concepts and good examples used.

Ethan Gillwald, 2019

Great coarse , as well as preparing me it also made me feel more confident for the test.

Ryan Finlay, 2019

Awesome.

Mogie Govender, 2019

My son felt that the NBT prep was valuable and almost "over" prepared him for the exams. He felt very confident from all the practise.

Wendy Young, 2019

Incredible. Even though i am kind of a slacker without this course i would not have done any good in the real NBTs.

Heinrich Engelbrecht, 2019

I have a really unique situation basically being from another country as far as school is concerned. I would have liked a more in depth explanation in the math section, but it was a great overall experience and i felt like all the bases were covered with this program. Double thumbs up!!

Hannes Barnard, 2019

it was a great help i didnt use the AQL prep as much as the maths prep but what i did use really helped me. having the past papers and having them set out the way it is tested really prepared me for my time management and i was able to complete the paper in time.

Linda Ferraz, 2019

This course is so amazing. It helped me prepare for the NBTs and I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who is about to write the NBT

zimasa mabude, 2019

Quite a good course, i recommend the course for anyone who really wants to get good marks for their NBT.

MD Tausiqul Islam, 2019

Advantage learn is professional,efficient and always puts the learners interest first. A great online programme you can work with at your own pace.

Swaleh Mahomed, 2019

This course is exactly what I was looking for. I had done a previous course which did not prepare me for the NBT's at all, but after only 14% into this course, I already feel much more confident.

Yolandie Kotze, 2019

Wonderful user friendly and very easy to use and highly informative lessons and good thorough explanations.

Rachel Davies, 2019

An extremely helpful course! NBT MAT was a breeze because of your help! I would advise the course to contain some financial mathematics though, as they ask simple problems from it... But ultimately very helpful and definitely worth every penny!

Beate Boshoff, 2019

The NBT preparation Course is wonderful for all kinds of revision. I loved the fact that I could do a test over and over and improve myself on all the faults. Perfect for preparing you for the test!

Mieke Coetzee, 2019

Both the online courses are extremely helpful in preparing for NBTs

Mikayla Seedat, 2019

It was really helpful

Ermine Kasongo, 2019

Thanks for the help Advantage Learn

Johnathon Campbell, 2019

The NBT preparation course is really, really great! Examples are clear and a perfect reminder for a person that matriculated 17 years ago. I made the right decision!

Nthabiseng Thekiso, 2019

Thank you for trying to make me excel through simple methods

Mukhethwa, 2019

I found that the videos were the biggest help ! It’s very convenient that you can also print out the notes that the video is based on. More than enough learning material is given for both the English and Maths.

Tahseen Karim, 2019

Advantage learn is really helpful thus far and ive learned a lot

Johannes Geldenhuys, 2019

The most professional, helpful and super friendly service I have ever received. Thank you

Bonnie Evert, 2019

Great course, I highly recommend it, I studied it and did well on my NBT

Fisani Mncube, 2019

So far the course is very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone preparing to write their NBTs.

Candice Kingiela, 2019

The Cambridge NBT bridging course is an absolute MUST for everyone doing the Cambridge curriculum & needing to write NBTs. My daughter did it and it proved to be exceptionally helpful, especially where there are gaps between the South African Math curriculum & Cambridge!! Thank you so much for compiling this course!!

Lize Steenkamp, 2019

Wonderful . But I think more exercises after the example video would help even more.

Bianca Burger, 2018

I improved my NBT score by more than 25% after doing this course! Highly recommend!

Tessa Jenkings, 2018

All my friends who took the NBTs failed. Not me. The difference? I had Advantage Learn on my side! Seriously the NBTs were tough and I'm really glad I got help. Honestly when I wrote the NBTs it practically felt like I was cheating, because I recognized concepts in the paper literally designed to throw me off, then quickly and efficiently answered their related questions. Thank you so much Advantage Learn! I'd recommend this to anyone writing the NBTs, especially those who finished school with the Cambridge curriculum.

Sky, 2018

Trish, who I'm pretty sure is the mathematics teacher, is really the bomb. She is querky (in the good way) and genuine. Although I cannot remember the English teacher's name, she offered no less in terms of expertise. I got this vibe from her that she'd be one of those 'strict' teachers, but I'm sure she is rather nice *insert laughing face*. Lastly, the actual course as a whole was fantastic. I just wish I had prepared more.

Avi Opert, 2018

Bloody amazing, I am normally an A candidate in school but this course let me get unimaginable marks! I got 84 for AL , 98 for QL , and 98 for Math in the NBT I advise taking this course to anyone

Abdullah Moolla, 2018

Very informative...thorough and of the highest quality...You guys couldn't have done it better

Nkosenhle Mkhize, 2018

Courses and lessons very well done and put together.

Raphael Anthony, 2018

I was blown away by Advantage Learn!!! Excellent service from booking the course to dealing with Mike at IT support and by daughter was very impressed with Trish and found the course very beneficial. Highly recommended.

Hayley Craig, 2018

Very helpful!

Taron van der Berg, 2018

This helped me an enormous amount and set me up to get an A for my NBT’s. Money well spent

Cameron Lovemore, 2018

Helped so much, was so prepared for the tests

Tayla Howard, 2018

The NBT package is amazing. The sample questions and explanation videos make the test so much easier. Thank you Advantage Learn

Mariam Moosa, 2018

Super helpful!! I used so many of the tips in my NBT! This course was definitely worth it!

Deborah Odendaal, 2018

Wonderful course! Wouldn't have been able to write NBT without it. Recommend it to everyone.

Ane Coetzee, 2018

I gained so much information from this course that realy helped me with my NBT's and would recomend it for anyone else.

Jané Eksteen, 2018

Brilliant. Incredible helpful and valuable. Really reduced my nerves and stress levels! Totally recommend it!

Lindsey Bath, 2018

I have not written the test yet but the information and the knowledge I have already has made a huge difference and also the confidence I have towards the test is really amazing, I don't want to count the chickens before they hatch let us wait for the test date before I praise you fully.

Sinemihlali Ntshibongo, 2018

It was very helpful and will definitely recommend it

Nina Rossouw, 2018

It was a great course, and adequately equipped me for my NBTs. I would definitely recommend it to future scholars planning on writing NBTs, especially if the NBTs play a large role in your acceptance to South African Universities.

Hellmut von Ludwiger, 2018

It really helped..

theoline mabelane, 2018

The exercises are extremely helpful.

Kabuba Masule, 2018

The course is Amazing⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am already feeling confident about my NBT

Owami Ntuli, 2018

Really useful and helpful I think kids who want to write the nbt should definitely purchase this online course

Raihaan essa, 2018

It's a great course. Very thorough. The only thing that's missing is from the maths section: logarithms and other matric work taught later in the year. The support team is also really helpful.

Amy Viljoen, 2018

I'd like a couple more practice tests per section but otherwise it's incredibly helpful

Bronwyn Morphet, 2018

I love the questions. They're really great and easy to understand. Thanks for making this program available to me. The reason why I gave only 4 stars was because the questions were not enough. Please try to increase the questions. Thanks.

Moses Cho, 2018

Thank you so much Trish! It has been so helpful and a pleasure to use!

Jenna Thompson, 2018

enjoying IT

Khalid Karani, 2018

This course is not only helping me with studying for the NBTs, but teaching me a whole lot of new vocabulary and interesting facts.
