Pre-Uni New College EM Courses: More Than Just a Class –
A Total Learning Solution
The S.O.Q. (Special Online Quiz) consists of quizzes designed to test students’ understanding of recent modules in English and mathematics. Engaging actively with these quizzes is vital, as it provides immediate feedback and highlights areas for improvement. This process helps reinforce learning, track progress, and keep students motivated by ensuring they effectively consolidate their knowledge and prepare for future challenges.
Cyberschool offers a weekly vocabulary test throughout the term to help students strengthen their language skills. These tests assess and reinforce understanding of new vocabulary, allowing students to track progress, identify improvement areas, and expand their word knowledge effectively. Regular participation supports continuous vocabulary development and enhances overall communication skills.
Scheduled for Week 7 of the term, the term progress test evaluates students’ grasp of the material covered over the preceding weeks. It assesses their knowledge, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and provides critical feedback. This feedback helps pinpoint areas for improvement and guides future instruction.
Students can revise the maths term progress test questions they answered incorrectly during the first week of the next school holiday period. Students are encouraged to revise all questions it provides and build up a solid foundation before their next term’s studies. The menu will appear under ‘Test Review’ menu of the navigation bar.
Stay updated on your child’s progress by visiting the My Results page throughout the course. Our dynamic reporting structure provides a clear view of your child’s performance on weekly and term tests. This feature allows you to monitor their academic development and identify areas where they may need additional support or practice.
Terms and Conditions
The Extra Service is subject to change at any time without notice. Services may vary depending on the normal term or holiday course, and they are only available during designated periods. Please note that conditions apply.

Since classes are online, is it possible to join other online classes outside a student’s scheduled class?

How do teachers ensure that kids are focused whilst learning?
Educators utilise various methods to maintain student engagement during online video lessons.This includes incorporating interactive learning exercises which prompts students to tackle questions in real time. It is important to note that parental support is essential when students engage in self-directed learning.
I’m not able to travel to the branch (or live outside NSW), is there an option of remote learning?
