What is covered in this workshop?

The National Benchmark Tests are split into two tests, the AQL and MAT. This workshop prepares learners for the AQL and MAT tests. It is a common misunderstanding that this test is only testing a learner’s ability to read and interpret written texts as it also tests a learner’s ability to apply mathematical literacy concepts to questions.

The workshop is delivered by one of Advantage Learn’s expert teaching team members using modern technology and teaching methods to make the content come to life in a memorable way for the learners who are getting ready to sit the NBT test which can define their future.

 

This workshop includes a print version of our AQL and MAT NBT Preparation Workbook!

Includes

12-hour in-person workshop covering all the crucial MAT & AQL concepts.
12-month online access to our highly sought-after MAT & AQL mock tests for you to assess your knowledge.
Our physical workbook that covers the workshop content.
Mock tests with video answers to help you with the questions you struggled with.

Reviews

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

- Sisanda Twala -

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

- Musa Mtsweni -

NBT preparation course was very helpful

- Tshegofatso Mokoena -

amazing so much help ❤️

- Nosipho Ndhlovu -

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

- Lyall Kleinhans -

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

- Ruhi Singh -

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 -

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

- Karabo Masenya -

all good

- aryan gounden -

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 -

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

- Lesedi Selokela -

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 -

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 -

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

- Gabrielle Pfister -

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

- Keara Loftie-Eaton -

The NBT workshop was an excellent preparatory sessions.

- Tunji Adeniran -

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

- khazi destiny -

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 -

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 -

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

- Woxola Nqaba Kudiabor Anyetei -

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 -

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 -

great!

- Mia Naidoo -

Very helpful, thank you

- Carissa Tredoux -

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

- Tayla Krause -

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 -

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 -

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 -

The teacher taught me tricks that will help me inmy finals

- Obakeng Mochubele -

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 -

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

- Asande Thabiso -

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

- Jade Young -

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 -

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

- Diyanah Bulbulia -

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

- Kelsi Furmage -

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 -

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 -

- HN Gumede-Moeletsi -

It was very user friendly and helpful.

- Shevi Strauss -

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.

- Kyle Weston -

Very helpful

- Samantha Hyde -

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 -

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 -

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

- RIZA -

The lessons were easy to follow and the platform is user friendly. I feel prepared to tackle the AQL part

- bongamajozi99 -

Great lesson, really helped with my nbt

- Marcia Chaba -

Amazing course helps a lot with the nbt

- Swaleha Desai -

- Eugenie Burger -

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

- emnetema -

Building the confidence towards the next level!

- Prashant Dabhade -

This course definitely taught me so many useful skills in order to navigate the nbts quickly and efficiently. The teachers were great and I'm glad I did it.

- Noluthando Mdakane -

I feel more prepared for the NBT through the help of the Advantage Learn Campus. I have learned to use my skills in a certain way to be able to answer the questions. Thank you Advantage Learn.

- Lené Kellerman -

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

- Shanaz Bangie -

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 -

Excellent course

- Safwaan Nagdee -

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

- Tsholofelo Bokako -

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 -

helped me understand the gaps

- naidoodivyeshen -

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

- Joss Alexander -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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

- miteshsa101 -

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 -

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

- nicola.caldas -

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

- hanzi28012004786 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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

- Reabetswe Mohlaka -

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 -

Great course! Teachers are very helpful and thorough.

- Paul Reeves -

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

- Bianca Dos Santos -

Trish was great

- Christina Katakuzinos -

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 -

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

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

- Philile Shelembe -

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

- Kayuri Chetty -

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 -

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 -

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.

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 -

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 -
