All three are well-known STEM schools in Bergen County, which boasts top faculty, advanced classes, superior extracurricular activities and supplies advanced technologies to their students while remaining tuition-free.
How Do I Prepare for the Entrance Exam?
It is highly recommended to start early.
Unlike the school curriculum, Ivy teaches highly effective test taking strategies by first teaching students about the test at the most fundamental level. BCA Prep Students at Ivy not only learn the content of the test, but also learn how to utilize it through test-taking strategies.
At least 7 out of 10 Ivy students in the past year have passed the BCA Exam. Ivy’s teachers will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed for the exam.
The BCA Entrance Exam
The BCA exam has two parts, a Math section with 40 high difficulty-level questions in 60 minutes, and a 5-paragraph essay based on a short prompt provided. The BCA Admissions Committee looks for well-reasoned, well-structured, and well-substantiated essays written in lively high-school-level language.
With Ivy’s training, we have seen students who answered less than 10 questions right on the initial diagnostic test, eventually going on to pass the BCA exam.
