Braucht es wirklich einen Vorbereitungskurs für das Gymnasium?

In 2014, the pass rate for the central entrance exam for the long grammar school (from Year 7) was 54%, which clearly shows how difficult it has become to gain admission. Without appropriate preparation, it is much more difficult to pass the exam, meaning that even independent study at home no longer guarantees the chances of success. A preparatory course for grammar school is therefore highly recommended, especially for pupils who find it difficult to motivate themselves to study independently and need guidance in order to perform well.
