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.

✅ Free forever plan. No credit card required.
📚 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.
💰 BURSARY FINDER
A searchable database of bursaries, scholarships and funding opportunities with deadlines, fields of study and application links.
