Welcome to MyExamSlayer
MyExamSlayer, the most practical assistance ever available to children battling with exam nerves, tension and lack of confidence, is now available online.
Our Vision
Our vision is one of exam halls filled with confident learners who know what their goal is in the exam, and have a clear plan of how to achieve it.
Our Mission Statement
To give every school learner a real helping hand at exam time by teaching them a wide range of effective exam-related skills and techniques.
Different courses, different languages, but just one goal: teach every kid how to get all the marks they deserve . . .
Welcome to the home of MyExamSlayer, our courses come in a variety of languages – they are already available in English, Afrikaans and isiZulu, with other languages to follow, depending on demand.
However, the objective of every course is the same – to teach children how to build the three pillars of exam success.
What are these three pillars? Well, Oxford Royale (www.oxford-royale.com), which claims to be one of the world’s leading providers of “summer school experiences”, offers this opinion: the three essentials for exam success are (i) solid subject knowledge, (ii) robust and effective exam technique and (iii) a positive outlook.
In other words, the learner needs to know their work (obvs), know how to write an exam (not so obvs) and be confident and clear-minded while in the exam hall. So MyExamSlayer’s courses give them some advice on how to study, where to study and when to study (as well as when not to!). But we also teach them several different stress reduction hacks and – most important – we show them how to write the different types of exams.
. . . and all of them can be completely free!
We are looking for 50 families to form a sort of advisory community. The Fifty Foundation Families we’ve called it, and we are looking for as wide a variety of families as possible.
Drawn from every corner of South Africa with children at every different kind of school, we are sure your combined input will help us enormously as we work to improve MyExamSlayer a little every day.
Why would you do this? Mostly because your kids’ education is really important to you, but also because each of our Foundation Families will receive the entire course, all six lessons and all 14 videos, with full lifetime access to all additions and improvements completely free of charge.
Meet our smallest lecturer . . . all the way from Planet Setarcos
OUR inter-galactic expert knows exactly how to appeal to children, so we got him to present all the videos, even though that meant he had to learn Afrikaans and isiZulu as well as English. See below for a sample video in each of the three languages.
FAQs
What does MyExamSlayer consist of?
MyExamSlayer is an online course consisting of six lessons, each one designed to help school learners – everyone from Grades 4 to 12 – with a problem area they are likely to encounter when faced with their end-of-year exams.
How long is it?
Learners who are signed up for the class have limitless access to the lessons for a period of a year, so each learner can improve at their own pace.
Who does MyExamSlayer help?
It helps all levels of learners – those battling to pass, those hoping for a university pass and those aiming for distinctions.
How does it do this?
In three ways. One, by explaining to learners why some behaviours are better than others, and by giving them practical hints on how to study, where to study and when to study. Two, by dealing with their natural fear of exams through the provision of strategies for stress management. And, three, by giving them a clear plan for how to attack each paper. This three-pronged strategy combines to increase the learners’ confidence levels and allow them to take control of their exam situation.
What kind of boost can my child expect to their marks?
This depends a great deal on how much effort the child brings to the table, and – dare we say it – on how much interest the parent/guardian takes in overseeing the process. MyExamSlayer is not a magic wand – it’s a common-sense bridge over the ravine of stress and panic, but the learner has to take the first steps.
Why hasn’t there been anything like MyExamSlayer before?
That’s a question we can’t answer. But, as we say regularly to sceptical parents, “Think back to your own schooldays: did anyone ever teach you how to write exams?”
