Practise real Grade 12 exam papers and get them marked in seconds. CAPS and IEB, every subject, free.
Build a full paper in under a minute, write it under exam conditions, and get it marked the moment you hand it in. Every question is built from a real past exam paper and written fresh, so you have not seen it before, and every mark comes with the memo, so you always know why.
Matric Ready is an independent study app made by SAADC (Pty) Ltd. We are not a government entity and we do not represent one. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Basic Education, Umalusi or the Independent Examinations Board. Marks in this app are practice marks, not official results. Official results come only from your examination body. Source links are at the end of this description.
CAPS AND IEB
Pick your curriculum once and the whole app follows: papers, topics, subjects and languages. An IEB learner never ends up on a CAPS paper by mistake.
PRACTICE THAT MATCHES YOUR YEAR
Choose the subject, the paper and the stage: March control tests, mid-year exams, prelims and trials, finals, or supplementary rewrites. Write the full paper, one section, or a single topic. Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Accounting, Geography, History, Business Studies, Economics, Life Orientation, Maths Literacy and all eleven language subjects.
MARKED IN SECONDS
Hand in and every answer is marked against the memo, with feedback on what was missing. No waiting, no memo to hunt down.
FIX WHAT YOU GOT WRONG
Rebuild a paper made only of your weak spots, so the next hour goes exactly where the marks are.
WRITE IT ON YOUR LAPTOP
Scan a code and write on a bigger screen. Type your answers and attach your working, while your phone keeps the clock and marks.
SEE WHERE YOU STAND
My progress tracks every subject: your average, your best paper, which way you are trending, and how you compare to learners at your school or nationally. Set your goal, a Bachelor's pass, a Diploma or a Higher Certificate, and see subject by subject whether you are on the line.
YOUR TIMETABLE
Your exam timetable, built from your own subjects, with the next paper counting down, a reminder before each one, and the results date once announced.
A DAILY CHALLENGE
One paper a day, the same one for everyone, on the clock. Top the board and the prize is real: airtime and data, sent to your phone.
CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS
Set a paper, send it to a friend, and watch the marks come in live while you both write.
A COMMUNITY THAT STUDIES TOGETHER
Ask a question at 11pm and someone is awake. Share a result. Post to the whole country or just your school. Stories, replies, voice notes and reactions.
KEEP THE STREAK
Practise every day and build a streak. Earn Ready Points, climb from Bronze to Platinum, and unlock 45 achievements.
TURN POINTS INTO REAL THINGS
Ready Points are not just a score. Reach Rewards Status and spend them on airtime, data, electricity and vouchers, sent to your number.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Every post, comment, photo and profile picture is checked before anyone else can see it. Report or block anyone, and rule-breaking accounts are suspended.
