How Can I Pass My Matric With Flying Colours?
You can pass your Matric with flying colours through :
- Knowing what your Matric assessments are

Know Your Matric Assessments
In order to master your Matric, you must know what it consists of. Matric is made up of the School-Based Assessments (SBA) and the final examination. The school-based assessments contribute 25% to your final marks. The final examination contributes 75% to your final marks.
You must complete your School-based assessments, as these marks are used to boost your final exam marks. These are the assessments that fall in the SBA:
- Class presentations
- June exam
- Trial exam
- Assignments
- Tests
When you have completed the School-based assessments, you will have to write your final exam. The marks you receive in your final exam will be combined with your SBA marks and create your final marks.
Study For The Matric Assessments
How Many Hours Should A Matric Student Study?
A student in Matric should study for at least four (4) hours every day. There are many subjects in Matric and each one has its own assessments to be completed. To learn and understand the information in each subject, you must study every day for many hours. This way, you will keep up with all your subject assessments.
How Do You Get 90 In All Subjects?
You get 90% marks (distinctions) in all your subjects by studying hard and smart. If you want a lot of marks, you must study a lot. Most students who receive distinctions in Matric do not get them because they are naturally intelligent, it is because they study hard.
If you want to get high marks, you must do what other students are not doing. If other students study for four (4) hours, you should study for six (6) to ten (10) hours. This way, you will learn more information and gain more knowledge. Here are a few things you can do to get 90% in all subjects:
