Date Published: October 27, 2020
IsiZulu home language is a rather popular subject in the IEB schooling system. Like the other home languages we have already gone through, IsiZulu requires a lot of reading and practise to ace the exam.
Matric College put together this cheat sheet to help you pass your IsiZulu exam with flying colours!
Past Papers
Past papers are always a great way for you to practise both your language and literary skills. Often in first language subjects, you have to do a lot of reading and as a result, will be tested on your novel, poetry or film knowledge.
Past papers are a great way for you to test which learning areas you know well and those which need more work.

Marking Guidelines
Marking guidelines are a great way for you to learn how to answer questions. Often we might spend more time on questions that actually require short and concise answers but by learning the marking guidelines, this can be avoided.
It’s also great to practise answering in a way that the examiner is going to mark. That way, you might just end up baging some extra marks!
