Preparing for final exams - a 5-month guide for matric students
Matric students from the Class of 2024 have roughly five months left to prepare for their final exams. While this is a tight timeframe for those who have not yet tracked and prepared their final strategy, it is possible - with dedication and motivation – to still lay a solid foundation before the first paper. Peter Kriel, General Manager at The Independent Institute of Education shares the following tips.
JUNE: ORGANISE AND PLAN
“With five months to go, you still have time to set clear goals and understand your objectives. You should use this time to identify the grades you want to achieve and the subjects you need to focus on. Create a study schedule to ensure that you plan your time effectively, and develop a realistic study schedule that covers all subjects, balancing schoolwork and personal time,” says Kriel.
“The most important approach however is to stick to the schedule as at this stage consistency is crucial”.
JULY: BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION
With only four months to go, you should focus on active learning techniques such as writing down key concepts and points in your own words. You can also consider study groups since studying with peers can provide new insights and make learning more enjoyable. It is also now a good time to complete past papers or sample questions to get familiar with the exam format and timing and to help you focus on aspects that you have not yet mastered.”
AUGUST: DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING
With three months to go, and if you met your deliverables in the previous month, you would now have a good idea as to where the gaps are, notes Kriel. “The time is now to focus on weak areas to regularly assess your progress and keep identifying areas where you struggle. Spend extra time on these weak areas and use a variety of study methods like flashcards, mind maps and educational videos to keep things interesting and deepen your understanding.”
SEPTEMBER: INTENSIVE REVIEW
The preparation pace must now increase and become laser-focused on the exams which are two months away. “It would be a good idea to practice and review by taking full-length practice exams under timed conditions, as this builds exam stamina and time management skills. Critically go through your answers to understand what you did well and where you can improve, and focus on these areas now.”
OCTOBER: FINAL PREPARATIONS
It is the big month and time for final revisions. This month you must focus on reviewing the most critical concepts and information in each of your subjects. However, avoid overloading yourself. Short, focused review sessions are more effective at this stage. Get a good idea of your exam schedule and plan your exam days to avoid last-minute stress. Ensure that you have all necessary supplies such as pens, pencils, calculators, and your ID.

Ruzanne Koekemoer het benewens die voorbereide en onvoorbereide Afrikaanse kategorieë, ook aan twee Engelse kategorieë deelgeneem.

Primary Schools Assessments 3 Factors that lay the foundation for success
As parents, we eagerly watch our children attempt and reach their milestones from birth. One significant milestone that often fills us with both excitement and apprehension is their first big formal assessments in primary school. In public schools, these are usually the mid-year exams in Grade 5, which thousands of students across the country are currently preparing for. In private schools, formal assessments may only start later, with Grade 6 students starting out by writing core subjects at year-end, and full formal assessments starting in Grade 7.
Regardless of when these formal assessments first start, students and parents will face new expectations in terms of planning, studying, commitment and scope of work that needs
CULTIVATING A POSITIVE MINDSET AND ATMOSPHERE
Parents’ influence and attitude matter. Our children absorb our emotions like sponges,
Celebrate small victories every day. Each section completed is progress toward success, and reduces the need for anxietyridden cramming the day or weekend before the exam.
Encourage your child to develop a habit of writing and drawing keywords while studying, as this reinforces memory retention. Whether it’s jotting down key points, solving math problems, or practising spelling, the act of writing solidifies understanding. This is the age where just reading the textbook for revision is no longer a strategy for success.
Parents also need to realise that the experience of the journey of studying and preparing at this time will make a substantial impact on the child’s approach to exams in the future.
GOALSETTING & EFFORT
Formal assessments in primary school are important in terms of performance, but in the earlier years, laying the foundation for future years is even more important. This is the time to show your child how to determine and set achievable goals, to provide direction and motivation.
Teach your child that effort matters and that hard work pays off. Anxiety may still creep in, but consistently putting in the work, a little bit every day at this stage, helps students feel more empowered.
As parents, we hold the keys to unlock our child’s potential, and the next few weeks are an important learning process and milestone in their educational journey. By fostering a positive mindset, ensuring organisation, and emphasizing effort, we empower them to thrive during their first big exams, while at the same time empowering them to become lifelong learners with a positive attitude even in the face of challenges.
