DESPITE a very challenging academic year, matric pupils will now need to get into the right frame of mind to perform to the best of their ability in the final exams.
The Independent Institute of Education (IIE), an accredited private higher education institution, has encouraged pupils to tap into a number of resources at their disposal to prepare for their final assessments.

‘There are some excellent resources available in the public sector, including study and revision advice, past papers, exam dates and concept lists for specific subjects.
‘Remember that it doesn’t matter where you live, you can access the advice on the websites of other provincial departments as well.
‘There is a wealth of advice freely available on the internet that can help you with your studies. Just be sure to access information from a reputable and credible source,’ said Wonga Ntshinga, IIE Senior Head of Programme in the Faculty of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
Ntshinga urged learners to take stock of where they are academically, and determine what ground still needs to be covered so that they are fully prepared.
‘Now is the time to assess your performance to date – possibly based on your preliminary exams if your school wrote them – and see how much ground you still need to cover before exams begin.
‘And very importantly, pupils need to draw up a comprehensive study schedule and stick to it.
‘Don’t just get up every morning and wing it. You have to keep track every day to ensure you stay on schedule, and if you are not, you need to adapt your approach,’ Ntshinga said.
