How do children see it

• “I felt a lot of stress, it was difficult, I was afraid, my mother suffered with me and it cost her a lot of nerves. There was a relief after the entrance exams. I had about 50 points from both subjects, and children with a much lower profit got to our school. ”
  Václav (12), Gymnasium, Decin
• “If I had to recommend something for those who are preparing for the entrance exams, I would certainly not underestimate the training of CERMAT tests for time. It helped me, I got used to the formulation of questions and knew approximately how much I could spend on each time, and it was so calmer. I also helped me a Czech from the tutoring course, which showed me which tasks go best and I should focus on them at the beginning. Thanks to this strategy, I had less stress. ”
  Damian (15), Business Academy, Brno
• “Of course I went to courses, but I hardly learned at home. And it was a shock to me when I learned that they did not take me to one of the three selected schools. For a 14 -year -old teenager, it is difficult to find that the work in about 8 months has been for nothing. Even though it is not, at that moment I felt that way. I finally got to school, but I could only celebrate a month after all classmates. ”
  Mathieu (15), private grammar school, Prague
• “The admissions period was not easy. Fortunately, I had a good tutoring with people I could even laugh with, and a little bit of fear and anxiety. I also think it helped me go to the entrance exams, because I could experience the atmosphere ahead. The main thing is that it turned out well and I am extremely satisfied with the school. ”
  Tina (15), private grammar school, Prague
• I went to the tutoring course for an hour a week, two months before the entrance exams I added at home and also helped us prepare during school hours of mathematics and Czech. I probably managed to make the entrances better that I would expect myself. I had over 40 points from each subject. I lost the most to geometry and then in a poem in the Czech test, I still remember that she was quite morbid. ”
