Revision courses

Revision courses, in the US more often called test prep courses, are courses designed to help students or test takers prepare for a specific exam by reviewing knowledge.

The concept of supplying revision courses professionally and on a corporate level first became commonplace in France, where students have used them to prepare for le bac for a long time. Acadomia [http://www.acadomia.fr] was the provider who started the industry. Other educational systems where revision courses are common are the american college entrance test SAT and the international upper secondary educational programme International Baccalaureate. Kaplan and Revision Courses Europe [http://www.revisioncourses.com] respectively are the main providers in these systems.
