Frequently Asked Questions
Which subjects and grades do you support?
We cover grades 8-12, Mathematics, Science (Physical, Life & Natural) and Accounting.
Which languages are the resources offered in?
Most of our resources are offered in English. Our grade 10-12, Mathematics and Physical Sciences resources are also offered in Afrikaans.
Are the Paper Video resources suitable for IEB students?
All our resources follow the CAPS syllabus and all the questions in our books of past exam papers are CAPS aligned. IEB follows the same curriculum as what we offer, which is CAPS, although the exam questions are phrased slightly different. In other words, while there are some differences in how questions are phrased, the Paper Video exams and worksheets cover the same content that is covered in the IEB exams.

Our online resources consist of past exam papers and lesson worksheets, both with video support, and are accessed via our apps or website.

Our offline resources consist of a book of 10 past exam papers and a microSD card that contains the videos for those papers. The microSD card works with the same app that is used for online access, only that the videos do not need to be streamed online. These offline packs are only available for grades 10-12 English and Afrikaans Mathematics and can be purchased at a once off price.
How does monthly billing for a paid subscription work?
To get full access to our online resources, you need to sign up for a monthly subscription. This is billed from the day you first subscribe, and you will be rebilled on the same day of each following month thereafter. You can cancel at any time before the next billing day and will continue to have access to your subscription until the next billing day, after which you will not be billed again and your subscription will end.
