Five full days of Leaving and Junior Cert revision the week of Easter, 29 March to 2 April 2027, running in Kilkenny and in Athlone. The final structured push before the State exams — taught the way the papers actually ask the questions.
The Easter course is the last piece of structured teaching a student gets before the State exams. By the week of Easter the syllabus is largely covered in school, the mocks are done, and what decides the grade is no longer how much a student knows — it is whether they can produce it under exam conditions, in the format the paper asks for.
So Easter is taught differently from Christmas. Five days rather than four, and the emphasis moves from teaching topics to working exam questions: what the examiner is actually looking for, how marks are awarded, which questions to attempt first, and how to get partial credit on a question you cannot finish.
Students book the subjects they want, sit in supervised study in any free slot, and the day runs 9am to 6pm. Nobody goes home at lunchtime. For a lot of students it is the week the whole thing finally clicks.
The original course, in the middle of Kilkenny city, with the widest subject choice of the two. Best for students in Kilkenny, Carlow, Waterford, Wexford, south Laois and south Tipperary. See the Kilkenny course →
On the TUS campus in Athlone, same teachers and same standard as Kilkenny. Best for students in Westmeath, Offaly, Roscommon, Longford, Galway east and the wider midlands. See the Athlone course →
This is the question we are asked most, so it is worth being plain about it. Higher Level Maths at the Easter course runs as two separate courses covering completely different material — they are not the same class timetabled twice.
Maths A is Differentiation. Functions, inverse and composite functions, the chain, product and quotient rules, logs and e, tangents and turning points, max–min problems and rates of change.
Maths B is Probability and Statistics.
A student who books both sits two different courses and repeats nothing, and most Higher Level students do take both. Note that these are different topics again from the Christmas course, where Maths A is Algebra and Maths B is Trigonometry — so a student who came at Christmas is not repeating anything by coming at Easter. There is a separate Ordinary Level Maths group as well.
Yes — it runs as a five-day block, 29 March to 2 April, and the value is in the full run. Students attend each day in the classes they have booked, with supervised study in any free slot.
Plenty do, and they are not repeating themselves: the courses cover different topics, and in Maths deliberately so. Christmas builds foundations, Easter sharpens exam technique with the paper eight weeks away.
Once you have taken two subjects, the next one is free. It is already built into the prices, and applied automatically when you book.
No. The Easter courses are open to any student in the country, member or not, at the same price.
Their own books, copies and a charged calculator, plus lunch or money for it. Phones are handed up or put away during class and study.
If a student withdraws we refund the unused portion, pro-rata, no questions asked. The same no-quibble policy Revise has always run.
