Preparing for General Mathematics Examinations
Revising the past Grade 12 General maths exam papers is a great way to get much-needed exam practice. Such practise is necessary to polish the math skills.
Additionally, preparing for major exams by doing the past paper questions is a great way to recall the ‘rusty’ numeracy knowledge and skills, otherwise would have been forgotten. It adds to the other practices in the General Math Mock Exam or guided questions from teachers and other preparations for national math exams.
We also have additional online resources to help you prepare for exams. One of them is the Exam Topics taken directly from the school syllabus. Check it out – click here.
