NBT

What is the NBT?Pro-Maths-cover-2nd-sm

NBT stands for National Benchmark Test and forms part of South African universities entrance requirements. Each university and each faculty have different requirements so it's important that you check when and if you need to write. Many faculties will consider the Grade 12 final results as well as the NBT results when doing placements. Considering that the NBT Maths test is quite difficult it is vital to prepare properly.

You will write 2 Multiple Choice tests on the day:

  1. The AQL (Academic and Quantitative Literacy) consists of 5 portions of language tests and 2 portions of maths literacy tests. NO CALCULATORS are allowed! Make sure you practice enough long multiplication and division, fractions, percentages and ratios.
  2. The MAT (Mathematics) covers all maths from Grade 9-12 as well as various problem solving questions. The test is more difficult than a matric final exam and the questions are asked differently.

Guidelines for preparing to write your NBT

  • Book the date online.
  • Allow yourself enough time to prepare properly.
  • Work through the ProMaths DVD and Student Manual very well to complete the entire syllabus.
  • Make sure you properly practice ALL the exercises VERY well! You have to practice more than you would for your matric final exams.
  • Alternatively, you can attend extra lessons at ProMaths in Alberton.
  • Practice as much as possible without using a calculator.
  • Complete the ProMaths NBT Practice Manual or book to attend a ProMaths NBT Workshop to see if you are ready to write.
