Matric exams come fast, and a timetable makes the weeks feel smaller. Start by listing every paper and its date, then work backwards from the last one.
Give harder subjects the morning, when you are fresh. Keep one short slot each day for past papers. Lerato Khumalo, our Exam Preparation Coach, always asks learners to plan rest days too.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson MandelaStick the timetable on your wall. Tick off each block when it is done. If load shedding wrecks an evening, move the block to the next day and carry on without guilt.
Build your weekly plan
Write down every subject and the number of hours it needs before the final exams. Spread them across the week, and leave Sunday afternoon free. A plan you can actually follow beats a perfect plan you drop after three days.
Use past papers well
Do one past paper each week under real exam time. Mark it honestly, then list the questions you lost marks on. Those gaps become next week’s revision, so every hour you study goes where it counts.
