FAQ
-
How/where do I get hold of old/previously written NBT papers? +
There are no old/previously written NBT papers available, but we can help you prepare for the NBT in one of two ways:
- we run NBT(MAT) preparation courses;
- our NBT(MAT) preparation workbook is available.
-
Can I re-write my NBT if my fist attempt was not successful or if my result was not satisfactory? +
In the past students have had the opportunity to re-write the NBT's at certain universities, but to play safe you need to contact the university where you plan to do you tertiary studies. It could also depend on the course you are applying for.
-
Would I be ready for the NBT's once I have attended the course or worked through your books? +
Probably not. While you would be far more ready after the course, you would need to do the 'homework' we will give you at the course. This could easily take you 10+ hours, but it is worth it!
-
How important is the NBT's? +
Since 2005 universities do placement of students for certain courses based on three criteria:
- Matric results
- NBT results
- Added value: participation and involvement in extra-curricular activities and other non-academic essentials at school (such as sport, leadership, etc.) as well as community service (such as community hours spent at a clinic, hospital, SPCA, etc )
-
The National Benchmark Tests +
Introduced in 2005, the NBTs were commissioned by Higher Education South Africa with the main task of assessing academic readiness of first year university learners as a supplement to Secondary School reports on learning achieved in content specific courses. Some universities use the Matric certificate results and the NBT results to steer their placement decisions. The NBTs asses the ability to combine aspects of prior learning and consists of two (2) parts:
- Academic and Quantitative Literacy (AQL); 3,5 hours in the morning and
- Mathematics (MAT); 3 hours in the afternoon, on the same day.

Testimonies
Faith MusokeRegardt Taute
The prep session had helped me by showing me at what level I was at, at that time. The real NBT was easier in my opinion than the Purple Pepper Maths which is a good thing as it meant the preparation and the advice given had helped. My result was 87%
This result allowed me to gain admission at the University of Pretoria to study BEng (Chemical). I would recommend this preparation course for anyone who has to write the math portion of the NBT as it is insightful as to how the paper will look and gives you a clear idea of how much preparation you will need.

Thank you, Duard and Reinette le Roux. Your course has helped me successfully achieve this important building block towards my future.
