A new study platform designed to boost exam results for Matric students and their teachers has been heralded as a ‘game changer’ in the South African education landscape. Developed with permission from the National Department of Basic Education (DBE), Studyclix is unique in that it takes past NSC exam question papers and breaks them down into topics and sub-topics with detailed teacher-created mark schemes, videos, and notes. Studyclix worked with expert teachers in South African schools to create enriched memos with teacher tips, quizzes, flashcards, guidance, and resource recommendations.
“I am so excited to be using Studyclix, a self-paced learning tool that my students can use to actively improve their own understanding of the curriculum. Studyclix assists learners to go through past papers and assess their own understanding, and where and why they are losing marks,” says Lynne Arnott, Physical Sciences Teacher, Rondebosch Boys’ High School.
