Introduction:

Have you heard about Mindset? Mindset Network, a South African non-profit
organisation, was founded in 2002. We develop and distribute quality and contextually
relevant educational resources for use in the schooling, health and vocational sectors.
We distribute our materials through various technology platforms like TV broadcasts,
the Internet (www.mindset.co.za/learn) and on DVDs. The materials are made
available in video, print and in computer-based multimedia formats.

At Mindset we are committed to innovation. In the last two years, we successfully ran
a series of broadcast events leading up to and in support of the NSC examinations

Now we are proud to announce our 2011 edition of Matric Exam Revision, which will
begin with our Winter School in July. Weve expanded the broadcast to support you in
seven subjects - Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical
Literacy, English 1
st
Additional Language, Accounting and Geography.

During our Winter School, you will get Exam overviews, study tips on each of the
topics we cover, detailed solutions to selected questions from previous examination
papers, short question and answer sessions so you can check you are on track and
live phone in programmes so you can work through more exam questions with an
experienced teacher.

Getting the most from Winter School
Before you watch the broadcast of a topic, read through the questions for the topic
and try to answer them without looking up the solutions. If you get stuck and cant
complete the answer dont panic. Make a note of any questions you have. When
watching the Topic session, compare the approach you took to what the teacher does.
Dont just copy the answers down but take note of the method used.

Make sure you keep this booklet for after Winter School. You can re-do the exam
questions you did not get totally correct and mark your own work by looking up the
solutions at the back of the booklet.

Remember that exam preparation also requires motivation and discipline, so try to
stay positive, even when the work appears to be difficult. Every little bit of studying,
revision and exam practice will pay off. You may benefit from working with a friend or a
small study group, as long as everyone is as committed as you are. Mindset believes
that the 2011 Winter School programme will help you achieve the results you want.

If you find Winter School a useful way to revise and prepare for your exams,
remember that we will be running Spring School from the 3
rd
to 7
th
October and Exam
School from 19
th
October to 22
nd
November as well.

Programme Outline

The Mindset Winter School is designed to focus on two subjects each day. For each
subject you will find the following sessions:

- Examination Overview
This is a 15 minute session that gives details of what you can expect in each
examination paper. Practical guidelines are also given on how to prepare for the
day of the exam.

- Topics Tips
In this session you will be given a 15 minutes summary of the key ideas you need
to know, common errors and study hints to help you prepare for your exams.

- Topic Session
An expert teacher will work through specially selected questions from previous
exam papers.

- Interactive Q & A
After every topic you will get the chance to test yourself.

- Live Phone-in
This is your chance to ask your own questions. So submit your question to the
Help Desk and we might call you back to help you live on TV. All questions you
submit will be answered within 48 hours as normal.
