Harrow's GCSE students appear to have done better than ever in this year's examinations.
Provisional figures show that 56.7 per cent of students received five or more A* to C grades compared to 55.1 per cent last year.

Four-day Classes
Examinations for subjects which have meetings in both the Monday/Wednesday/Friday (MWF) and Tuesday/Thursday (TT) sequences should be scheduled according to the sequence in which they have the greater number of times. If a class meets an equal number of times in each sequence, the examination should be scheduled according to the sequence which shows an earlier date or time in the examination schedule.
i.e., for MTWF or MWTHF courses, refer to the MWF examination time. For MTWTH of MTTHF courses, find both the MWF exam time and the TT exam time—your exam is scheduled for whichever date/time is earlier.

Bridge International Academies has said its pupils performed excellently for the fifth year in a row at the National Common Entrance Examination.
A statement by the school said Alexander Tarhe-Veyan was this year’s highest-performing pupil at Bridge with a total score of 188.
It explained that earlier in the year, Tarhe-Veyan came first place in The Ultimate Mathematics Ambassador competition out of over 1,800 pupils.
“Tarhe-Veyan also participated in the Deeper Life High School Entrance Examination where he topped the list with an amazing 92% score.”
It added that he was closely followed by Divine Mcanthony who had a total score of 186.
It read, “She was also the best-performing female Bridge pupil. This year, 121 Bridge pupils registered for the exam, 61 males and 60 females. The result of the exam further proves the learning equity at Bridge as girls made the same leap in learning as boys.”
Managing Director of Bridge International Academies in Nigeria Foyinsola Akinjayeju, said, “We are immensely proud of our pupils’ outstanding performance in the National Common Entrance Examination.”
“This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our pupils, teachers, and staff, who strive for excellence every day.

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license is a highly sought-after credential in the accounting industry, but less than 50% of the 1.4 million U.S. accountants have one. Why? Because the biggest hurdle in obtaining a CPA license is taking the CPA Exam. According to the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the cumulative pass rate of 2022 for each of the four sections of the CPA exam ranged from 41% to about 60%.
What's so hard about it? Each section of the CPA Exam focuses on a specific area of accounting and requires candidates to display a deep understanding of that subject area. The sections are Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Candidates are given only an 18-month window to pass all four sections.
With such a time crunch and an overwhelming amount of content to digest, it's worth signing up for a CPA exam prep course. These prep courses make studying less daunting by helping candidates map out an exam schedule with target dates and breaking the material down into bite-size pieces. They also offer a variety of modalities to accommodate various learning styles (online tutoring, chat, in-person lectures, etc.).
We assessed 10 companies before choosing our top five recommendations, taking into consideration cost, content delivery methods, the number of multiple-choice questions offered, the availability of graded practice exams, and the ability to demo the product before purchasing.
The Academic Resource Center (ARC) is designed to assist SLU LAW students with the support they need to be successful during law school and in their future legal careers.
The ARC provides resources and assistance to help students succeed from the first day of classes and continues when they are alumni working towards success on the bar exam.
Academic Success
Though the program at Saint Louis University School of Law is rigorous, SLU LAW provides an avenue for achieving success in learning the law. Academic Success services provide students with the advising, assistance and support they need as they enter and progress through law school. Students can find information on the structure of the first-year program as well as tips and advice on getting accustomed to the curriculum. Information is provided on times and dates of important workshops, and students can find valuable study tools. There are opportunities to learn exam-taking techniques as well as a variety of other helpful law school aids.
Academic advising is available to all law students. Students may meet with Professor Antonia Miceli or Professor Petina Benigno to discuss any academic issues, including outlining, exam preparation and review, curriculum choices and other concerns a student might have. Please contact Professor Miceli or Professor Benigno with a list of times and days you are available in order to schedule an appointment.
Bar exam Success
Perhaps you've only briefly thought about the bar exam or perhaps you have focused squarely on it. Whatever your position, it's not too late to become informed about the bar exam and the steps you can take to prepare for, and succeed on, it.
What is a Bar Examination?
In almost every state in the U.S. and in some territories, recently graduated law students sit for a state bar exam. For instance, if you are interested in practicing in Missouri, you would take the Missouri Bar Exam. The bar exam measures a candidate's competency to practice law in a particular state. Successful bar exam candidates receive a license evidencing their competency to practice law in a given jurisdiction.
Passing Your Bar Exam
Passing the bar exam is a pivotal last step in becoming an attorney. There are many things you can do as a student to achieve this success. Much of the law school curriculum is geared toward providing you with the necessary foundation for success. In addition, most students participate in a commercial bar review course after graduation. This course reviews (and in some cases introduces you to) those subjects that might be tested on your jurisdiction's bar exam.
Beyond Bar Classes and Commercial Review Courses
In addition to what you learn in your law school classes and the commercial bar review courses, SLU LAW offers workshops and programs designed to help you assess and practice the skills necessary for passing the bar.
These workshops cover each part of the bar exam — the essay, multiple choice and performance test portions. Thus, you have the opportunity to not only learn the appropriate substance but to also hone the necessary skills related to each portion of the bar exam.
Getting Started
Current students and alumni of Saint Louis University School of Law are encouraged to contact Professor Antonia Miceli, the director of Academic Support and Bar Success, or Professor Petina Benigno, the assistant director, and to participate in the bar preparation workshops and programs as they are announced. Please feel free to stop by Professor Miceli’s or Professor Benigno's office so that you can meet in person.
