This course is intended for students in the final years of secondary education who are preparing for the state-level mathematics exam and aiming to improve their results. It is delivered by experienced lecturers from KTU Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Weekly remote sessions cover essential exam topics such as algebra, functions, geometry, probability, derivatives, integrals and more. The course focuses on reinforcing theoretical knowledge, developing problem-solving strategies, understanding exam structure and enhancing independent learning skills. Each topic includes practical assignments and the course begins and ends with diagnostic tests. Completing the course helps students feel confident for the final exam and better prepared for university-level mathematics studies.
