Class Schedule & Start Dates

There are four intakes a year. Cohort 1 opens 20 July 2026 with the full weekly timetable; Cohorts 2–4 follow in September 2026, January 2027 and March 2027. All cohorts run toward the same ~June 2027 exam — the earlier you join, the more teaching weeks of preparation you get.

All weekly content, applied and drop-in classes run online at launch, so families anywhere in Victoria can attend the same small-group sessions. In-person mock sittings are demand-dependent and begin ramping from January 2027 toward the exam.

Content classes are recorded and the Friday drop-in session is open to everyone, so a missed topic can always be picked back up. Big Brain also gives every student 10k+ on-demand practice questions and analytics between classes.

Yes. JMSS and EBS share the same Maths and Science content, so selecting both is charged at the three-subject rate once — only the extra English hour is added, never double-charged. See the pricing page for the exact subject count and price for your combination.

The full-cohort prepay price scales with how many teaching weeks remain until the June 2027 exam, so an earlier intake is both more preparation and the better-value full-cohort deal. The cohort strip shows the weeks-to-exam for each start date.

Scholar covers all content classes for your target schools, applied exam sessions, Friday drop-in, the Big Brain platform, one practice exam and one human-marked writing task per month, and a monthly 1:1 consult. Accelerator steps these up to four practice exams and four human-marked writing tasks per month, plus a fortnightly 1:1 consult. In-person mock sittings are an à la carte add-on on any plan.
