About Determine This

"I lost marks on questions I could have answered, not because I didn't know the maths, but because I didn't understand what the question was actually asking. I built Determine Thisso you don't make the same mistake I did." Jamie

Most students who lose marks in NSC Maths exams know the content. They lose marks because they misread what the question is asking them to do.

Determine Thisteaches the meta-skill of question interpretation, instruction words like "determine", "prove", "hence" and "simplify", and the question types within each CAPS topic. It does not replace content learning: it supplements it.

For worked solutions and content revision, see resources like Khan Academy, Maths Genie, or past paper sites such as testpapers.co.za and saexampapers.co.za.
