👥 Who Is This Course For?

This course is perfect for learners aiming to earn their Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) qualification. Whether you’re doing the JCE for the first time or repeating, this course is designed with you in mind. We understand that some learners may have stopped after primary school 🏫, while others might already have experience with secondary education. Don’t worry—the materials have been tailored to meet the needs of both groups.

📚 Teaching Approach

We’ve created this course to help you learn through discovery and make you the center of every lesson. The materials are designed with your needs in mind and ensure you:

  • 🧠 Recall previous knowledge before diving into new concepts
  • ✨ Understand important definitions and concepts
  • 📝 Get plenty of activities and examples to practice and master the material
  • 📖 Complete exercises, assignments, and tests to ensure you consolidate and master the content

📝 Assessment

You’ll be assessed in several ways to track your progress throughout the course. Here’s how we’ll keep you engaged and on track:

  • Activities: Practice problems followed by feedback so you can check your understanding immediately.
  • Self-assessment exercises: Answers are provided at the back of the unit, so you can mark your own work and see how well you’re doing.
  • Assignments: Each unit comes with an assignment marked by a tutor, giving you a glimpse of what the final exam will be like.
  • Final Exam: 🖊️ At the end of the course, you’ll take the terminal national exam, consisting of two papers:
    • Paper 1: 📝40 multiple-choice questions that focus on basic math skills and understanding concepts.
    • Paper 2:📝 Three sections (A, B, and C) with short-answer and problem-solving questions. You’ll need to show all your workings to earn full marks! ✍️

📞 Where to Get Help?

If you ever need assistance, the University operates Community Study Centres 🏫 around the country. These centres offer face-to-face interaction with tutors and group discussions with fellow learners. Tutorials are optional, but we encourage you to attend whenever possible.

You can also contact the BOU offices for help via phone or by visiting in person.

Time Management

If this is your first time doing JCE Maths, we recommend you spend two years studying and preparing for exams. If you’re repeating, you might need just one year, depending on your revision needs. To stay on track, aim to dedicate 2-3 hours per lesson and about 3-4 hours per week for math to ensure you complete the course on time and have plenty of time for revision before exams. 📅⏰
