The NSC exams decide a lot, so it helps parents to know how they work. Learners write their final papers in October and November, and results come out in January.
You can help at home with a quiet table, regular meals and a fixed study time. Ask what the timetable looks like and put it on the fridge.
Stay calm and stay interested. Your child copies your mood. Thandiwe Mokoena, Centre ManagerIf your child struggles with a subject, speak to us early. Our tutors can help before the exams start.
How to build good study habits
Good marks come from small habits, not last-minute panic. Pick the same time each afternoon and sit down with your books. Start with the subject you find hardest. Work for 40 minutes, then rest for ten. Write short notes in your own words and test yourself the next day. Our Study Skills and Exam Stress Basics course shows you how, step by step.

Good advice from people who clearly know learners. The part about studying on a small budget was very useful for us in Galeshewe. Well done, Leerkring.
