Frequently Asked Questions
Does ₦5,000 cover the whole session for every level?
Yes. One payment of ₦5,000 gets you First, Second, and Third Term notes for JSS1, JSS2, JSS3, SS1, SS2, and SS3.
Why does SS3 focus so heavily on revision and mock exams?
SS3 Solar PV is structured around SSCE and WAEC/NECO preparation, so after reviewing advanced technologies and policy topics in First Term, Second and Third Term shift into mock installation projects, past questions, and final exam preparation.
Does this scheme apply nationwide?
The core topic sequence follows the national curriculum, though individual schools sometimes adjust pacing around their own midterm and exam dates.
Can I get the lesson notes already written?
Yes. We can write the full set for you, JSS1 to SS3, the whole session. Message us on WhatsApp to get started.
