Where the documents come from
The past papers and memos in the Hlayiso library are published by the Department of Basic Education (DBE), the nine provincial education departments and the Independent Examinations Board (IEB). The library also holds curriculum documents such as annual teaching plans and exam guidelines, study guides, and TVET college study guides.
Hlayiso also sets its own mock and prediction exams. Their document pages list Hlayiso as the publisher, so you can tell them apart from official papers. Downloads are the original PDF files.
Get the app
Hlayiso works in any web browser and in apps for iPhone, Android and Huawei phones. One account works on all of them. Snap Solve, which reads a photo of a question, is only in the app.
