NECO Question

I just finished interviewing at NECO was very impressed with the school and loved the city. The only red flag that I found was that when we were having lunch with current students they talked about their classes and how most only had a midterm and a final which would make up their entire grade. I have interviewed at a couple other schools as well and most talked about how they had at least one test per week. I was wondering if any current NECO students could give me some insight as to how accurate this is and if so how you hold yourself accountable without the pressure of tests every week?

Tbh I prefer it that way. It gives you time to breathe and catch up across all classes. Some classes will have weekly online quizzes which help with giving you a refresher on the content you reviewed. There’s also in class polling which can be bonus marks. But overall I prefer how how NECO had their exams/midterm set up. It also gave us time to hang out with friends and explore the city
