Struggling with preparing for the NBT’s? We have you covered. We have helped over 5500 students nationwide ace their NBTs through our resources and workshops.
The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) are pre-university assessments for learners applying to study at universities within South Africa.
The NBTs are designed to measure a learner’s academic, qualitative and mathematical literacy to ensure that they have the aptitude to handle complex university coursework.
There are two types of NBT exams:
Mathematics NBT (MAT)
English & Qualitative Literacy NBT (AQL)
The NBT exam that a student has to write depends on the their course and university of choice, as different universities and faculties have different NBT requirements.

Euler Education really helped me tremendously – not only from clarifying math and science concepts, but to giving me insight with regards to universities and the NBTs.

I enjoyed every experience I had with Euler Education over the past 2 years. My tutor (Thuto) and the support team really made sure I was progressing in my Maths and Physics. He also helped me with prepping for the NBT exams🙏

I’m truly grateful for Euler Education’s help as they helped me pass Matric even when I thought I wouldn’t pass. Their NBT workshop really helped me and I felt much more confident especially when I wrote the math one since math is not my strength. I truly appreciate their help and patience with me.

The NBT workshop I had with Euler Education went great! I felt very confident when I wrote my NBT exam thanks to the workshop.

After attending Euler Education’s NBT workshop, I was very confident in my knowledge on the Math and English NBTs. Because of their help I managed to get into UCT, and this wouldn’t have been possible without their help.

An overwhelming amount of South African parents often regret not enrolling their kids in NBT programmes, which has lead to many students either not getting into their preferred university, or having to write supplementary exams, thus putting them a step back😞
