What students should do now
Treat the two-session pattern as a preparation framework, not a confirmed date sheet.
- Build a January-ready Session 1 preparation plan.
- Reserve April as a possible Session 2 window without assuming exact dates.
- Recheck NTA before booking travel or changing school/board plans.
- Update your planner when NTA publishes the official schedule.
