Offered for over 15 years, Succès Scolaire's high school exam preparation program is an excellent accompaniment that will give your child the tools and confidence needed to succeed in his or her entrance exam. Using a one-to-one approach, our specially trained tutors will draw up an action plan tailored to your child's specific situation, with the aim of optimizing his or her chances of exam success. Over 5,000 students have benefited from this preparation program, and more than 92% of them are accepted into the school of their choice.

Our high school entrance exam preparation program begins with an exam simulation that will be provided to you and can be completed by your child at a time of your choosing. The purpose of this simulation is to determine your child's knowledge, establish his or her strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate whether certain factors could affect his or her results in an exam situation (stress, lack of time, organization, etc.).

Simulated exams are quickly corrected. Within 7 days of the simulation, you'll receive a full evaluation report, giving you the results of the exam and any points to review with your child. The evaluation report is the key document of the program, giving you a clear idea of where your child stands, and enabling you to target the right objectives.

Succès Scolaire offers you the opportunity to help your child with a certified tutor. Online tutoring sessions are one-on-one, and the tutor makes sure to tailor the meetings according to the results obtained in the mock exam. One-to-one tutoring allows us to focus on your child's difficulties and provide tips and tricks for exam success. As a general rule, for a complete revision, about ten hours of tutoring are recommended.
