 Tips for success

The Matric Support website provides:

  • advice on preparing for the exams,
  • planning your study time,
  • what to cover in each subject, and
  • advice from those who excelled in the previous year’s exams.

Some overall tips and suggestions to help you prepare for your examinations:

Preparation is key:

  • Draw up a special study schedule.
  • Study in 50-minute blocks, with 10-minute breaks.
  • Select fixed study times for each day, including a time slot over weekends.
  • Use the school holidays wisely.
  • Study for at least 3 hours a day during holidays.
  • Practice study skills and strategies regularly to ensure they become study habits.
  • Break up topics into manageable sections.

Design a plan:

  • Decide when you work best – for example, early morning, afternoons or evenings.
  • Pick a place where you’re most productive. This can be at home, at the library or at school.
  • Select a study area where you can work undisturbed. Set up a place to study, with a table, chair, uncluttered work space and good lighting.
  • If you work well with others, you can arrange with a friend to be your study buddy.
  • How do you best remember information, seeing, hearing or through action? People have different preferred learning styles, it’s best to use them all.
  • Make your studying active by using writing, drawing, summarising, flow diagrams, mind maps, chanting or teaching your study buddy.
  • Concentrate fully and try not to allow your mind to be distracted. This improves with practice.
  • Avoid last minute cramming.

On exam day:

  • Arrive early and ready to begin.
  • Read and understand the exam instructions.
  • Preview the question paper and allocate your writing time appropriately.
  • Tackle each question systematically.
  • Write down something for every question.
  • Set out your answers clearly.
  • If you feel you’re unable to answer a question, don’t panic or allow anxiety to affect how you answer the rest of the paper.
