Hlayiso: Notes & Past Papers

Exam prep made easy, Grades 1-12. Notes, quizzes, flashcards, AI, NBT & Snap.

Exam prep shouldn't feel impossible. Hlayiso is the free CAPS-aligned study app that turns revision from Grade 1 to matric into short, clear sessions that fit your phone, your time, and your data plan.

PAST PAPERS AND MEMOS Past papers from 2015 onwards, including NSC, preliminary and provincial papers from Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State, North West and Northern Cape. Every paper ships with its full memorandum. Built-in PDF viewer, fast search, and a memo toggle so you can mark your own work the way a teacher would.

QUESTIONS BY TOPIC Past paper questions re-organised by topic and difficulty. Struggling with fractions in Grade 5, electrochemistry in Grade 11, or essay-type Life Sciences in Grade 12? Drill the exact skill without scrolling through an entire paper.

REVISION NOTES Clean, section-based notes with worked examples, diagrams and proper mathematics rendering. Track reading progress, jump to any section, and highlight what matters. Designed for phones, beautiful on tablets.

QUIZZES Instant-feedback quizzes with multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blank, numeric input, cloze dropdown, matching pairs and ordering questions. Memo-style explanations and a results screen that shows exactly where marks were lost.

FLASHCARDS Short cards with spaced repetition, so the app surfaces weak cards more often and eases off once they're mastered. Perfect for sight words, times tables, definitions and command-verb responses.

AI STUDY ASSISTANT Ask anything in chat. Upload a worksheet, a photo of a question, or a past paper, and the AI walks through the solution in plain language. Voice input and text-to-speech mean you can revise with your hands full.

SNAP AND SOLVE Point your camera at any question, handwritten, printed, or on a screen. The AI recognises the problem, breaks it down step by step, shows its working, and offers a practice variant for the same skill.

NBT PREPARATION Dedicated prep for the National Benchmark Tests (AQL, MAT and QL) with practice questions, timed mocks and topic breakdowns for university applications.
