Why this summer is different
Because what follows is the second Bachaloria year: the first year that counts, holding 400 of the 600. This summer is a chance to start relaxed rather than behind.
The plan: eight weeks, an hour or two a day
Weeks 1–2: rest properly
Rest is part of the plan. Don't open a book.
Week 3: decide your track
- Read about the four tracks.
- Answer the six questions for choosing.
Week 4: try the two specialised subjects
Each track offers a choice of two. Watch the first two lessons of both. On GoBachaloria the first five videos of every subject are free.
Weeks 5–6: strengthen the foundations
- Medicine or Engineering: revise first-year Maths and Integrated Science.
- Business: first-year Maths.
- Arts: read and write every day.
- Everyone: Arabic and English, which stay with you in the second year on every track.
Week 7: get used to writing
Half the second-year exams are essays. Write a paragraph a day about anything you have read. Why
Week 8: get ready
- Download the second-year books from the official source. Where
- Learn the year's rules: the 60% rule, the exams.
