The University of Calgary's Toughest Courses and How to Improve Your Grade in Them

While all university and college courses can be challenging in their own way, some courses are considered high stakes and high-stress because of demanding exams. These types of courses commonly contribute to exam anxiety and stress.

They also can make first and second-year university incredibly challenging, not just from an academic perspective, but from a mental health perspective too.

We provide both on-demand, custom course resources that you can sign up for on a Netflix-like subscription basis. In this way, you can get study help and resources to help improve your grades as and when you want.

We also have Live Exam Prep made for some of U of C's toughest courses. Live Exam Prep gives you up to 12 hours of exam review and study help in a guided zoom session by an expert tutor who knows these particular courses at U of C, inside and out.

You get practice questions and solutions, a booklet with specific notes and tips for the exam, a chance to ask your specific questions, and tips and tricks for exam day.

98% of students who have been helped by Wizeprep have improved their grades, and we're happy to announce the Live Prep study session schedule at U of C. You can click on any of these toughest courses to see what resources we have to help you crush the exam and ace the course!

Science courses that are particularly difficult at U of C:

There are particular science courses where the key to being successful is not just in taking notes, but in being able to do practice problems that simulate exam-type settings. We've curated the following list of courses where being able to do a targeted exam review has been shown to make a big difference.

Click on any of these courses to see the live exam prep sessions being offered this 2021 final exam season, and be confident as you head into your exam.






Below is an example of what a live prep session looks like at a glance. We offer them throughout the semester, targeting your course's content and providing you with valuable tips to feel confident in your next exam.


Engineering-Specific Courses that are particularly difficult at U of C:

Engineering is a challenging program of study at any university, and the University of Calgary has a number of engineering-specific courses that can be "make or break" kinds of courses.

If you find yourself in one (or more!) of these courses this fall, click on the link below to find out the live exam review sessions that we're running just for you so that there's no guesswork on your part as you walk into the exam. You will feel confident and prepared after doing so.






Business & Finance Courses that are particularly difficult at U of C:

There are a number of business courses that are difficult, and even though I grew up in a family business and then started my own startup, I still find micro-and macro-economics to be difficult in terms of the memory work involved. We've created these live exam preparation sessions to help focus your review and studying for this term's December exams.



Math Courses that are particularly difficult at U of C:

I took Calculus and Linear Algebra a long, long time ago, and they were some of my most difficult courses. This was not because I couldn't understand the concepts, but because I had a tendency to freeze on the exams. I would have loved to have any one of these live exam preparation sessions back in my day when I took these courses.




I know that this blog post can sound a bit sales-personie, but that's not the objective at all. Really I just want to showcase the resources that we've put in place for these specific courses at U of C so that you can be as successful as possible this exam season!

Good luck!
