The O-Level Examination focuses on testing the depth of students’ understanding and their ability to apply knowledge flexibly, rather than just on rote memorisation and regurgitation. Therefore, the O-Level courses not only cover academic content but also emphasize developing students’ comprehensive abilities. This requires considerable time for assimilation and mastery, resulting in significant improvement over time. The courses are structured in units of at least 6 months to gradually enhance students’ proficiency and achieve effective training results.
