At IBZim we are dedicated to providing you the most accurate information and we will keep introducing features like truth scores, comments, surveys and more
It is no secret that the school you decide to go to has a major impact on your performance. Some schools were once great now just dead heroes while others are uprising stars.
However unlike choosing a primary or secondary school when it comes to A Level there are very specific requirements for certain combinations and even getting enrolled. Top schools like St Faith's have minimum requirements as their demand is also higher.
When picking a school for Advanced level education make sure your wallet and O'Level results are and narrow down a list 3 to 5 schools you would prefer which are within your financial, regional and extra-curricular performance preferences.
After having your top 3 choices proceed with them on the EMAP portal (an enrollment platform published by the Ministry of Education)
