Reading a page three times is not studying. What works is testing yourself, spacing your revision over several days and explaining ideas in your own words. These methods feel harder, but they stay with you longer.
Start with short sessions. Twenty-five minutes of focus, then a five minute break, is a good place to begin.
If it feels easy, you are probably not learning much. Lerato Molefe, Business English TutorOur tutors share these study methods in every course, so you can use them on your next test, assignment or workplace exam.
Test yourself often
Close your notes and write down everything you remember. Then check what you missed. Flash cards, past papers and short quizzes all work well. Do this the day after a lesson and again a week later.
Teach someone else
Explain a topic to a friend, a family member or even the mirror. If you get stuck, that is the part to revise. Many Klikleer students form small WhatsApp study groups and take turns to explain one topic each week.

Really clear explanations. I like that you mention data costs and load shedding. A helpful resource for learners and teachers alike.
