Remembering more is not about studying longer. It is about studying in a smarter way. Lwazi Dlamini, our Study Skills Coach, teaches learners at Leerruimte a few simple methods that work for Matric and university alike.
The first is testing yourself. Close the book and write down what you remember.
Reading again feels easy, but trying to recall is what makes it stick. Lwazi Dlamini, Study Skills CoachThe second is spacing your revision over several days instead of one long night before the test.
Test yourself often
Use flashcards or old exam papers. Mark your answers, then focus only on what you got wrong. This saves time and shows you where the real gaps are.
Rest and routine matter too
Sleep, water and a regular study slot help your memory. Try our 30 Day Study Routine and Focus Plan, or book a quiet co-study desk at our centre in Rondebosch.

Thanks for this. I am sharing it with my cousin who is writing matric this year. The study tips are easy to follow.

Thank you, we are glad it helped. Come past Leerruimte in Rondebosch any weekday if you want to see the study desks.

Very useful post. I tutor Grade 10 maths on Saturdays and this gave me a few good ideas to share with my learners this term.

Clear and honest advice. My son read it before his preliminary exams and said it helped him settle down and plan his time properly.
