A Focused, Video-Based Exam Accelerator for Grade 12 Students

This is not a full-year course.
This is not weekly tutoring.
This is a structured, exam-focused system for the final 8 weeks before May.

All modules are pre-recorded and delivered through structured video lessons.
There are no live sessions.

Why Students Lose Marks — Even When They Know Economics

Most students do not lose marks because they lack content knowledge.

They lose marks because:

• Their answers are descriptive rather than analytical
• Their diagrams are not fully integrated and explained
• Their evaluation is vague or implicit
• They misinterpret command terms
• They struggle under timed conditions

This program shows you how to correct those issues and maximize marks across Papers 1, 2, and 3.
