If you want to stay in a Practice class, you do not need to take a Hurdle Test and will have to prepare for the examination on your own.
Hurdle Tests are restricted to students of level 4a and above.
If you do not pass the Hurdle Test with an ‘A', ‘B' or ‘C' grade, you cannot go to an Examination Class, although the school will do the administration for you if you still want to enter the exam.
You can only enter an examination class until you have:
- Passed the Hurdle Test
- Registered for the exam
- Paid for the exam and the class in full
