Most matric learners know what they must study. The hard part is finding a plan and sticking to it. Start by listing every subject and the date of each paper, then work backwards from the first exam.
Give harder subjects the fresh morning hours. Keep afternoons for past papers, which show you how questions are really asked. Rest properly, eat well and switch off your phone while you work.
A good study plan is a promise you keep to yourself, one small session at a time. Thandiwe MokoenaIf you get stuck on a topic, ask for help early. Our lecturers in Stellenbosch run short online catch-up classes, and you can join from home on your phone.
Build a plan you can follow
Write down every exam date and count the weeks left. Split each subject into small topics and give each topic a day. Be realistic: four focused hours beat eight tired ones. Tick off topics as you finish them so you can see your progress.
Practise with past papers
Past papers are the best way to learn how marks are given. Time yourself, mark your own answers and note where you lost marks. Then go back to those topics. Ask your teacher or one of our lecturers if a memo is unclear.
