Every past paper.
Free.

The Department of Basic Education publishes these papers for everyone, and your school, your teacher or your tutor can hand you the same ones. We have simply put twelve years of them in one place, sorted by subject and year, so you are not hunting through folders the night before a test.

Question papers and marking guidelines. Fifteen subjects, 2014 to 2025. Nothing to fill in, no email, no account.

15 SUBJECTS 2014 TO 2025 PAPERS + MEMOS NO SIGN-UP
And then what

A paper is a question bank. It is not a study method.

Everyone knows they should work through past papers. Almost nobody does it consistently, on their own, at night, for a year. That gap is the whole problem, and it is not a knowledge problem.

So download the papers and use them however you like. If you would rather not do it alone, that is what we built.

Meet Fundi

The bit a PDF cannot do

A past paper can tell you that you got question 4.2 wrong. It cannot tell you why, or what to do about it. Fundi can. Ask her anything about your subjects and she answers from the curriculum content only, and says so when she does not know.

Let's figure it out together.

Every question Fundi serves has been solved blind, attacked by a second model and confirmed before it reaches you. Anything that does not pass is never shown.

Seven ways to play

One paper, seven different drills.

The same past paper you just downloaded can be practised seven ways inside FUNDA. Same content, different demand each time, so it keeps testing you instead of becoming a memory game.

  1. 01
    Memo-aligned multiple choice

    Options written from the marking guideline's own wrong-answer patterns, not made up.

  2. 02
    Select the next step

    You choose what comes next in a worked solution, so method matters as much as the answer.

  3. 03
    Identify the error

    A solution that reaches the wrong answer. Find where it went off.

  4. 04
    Word bank

    Build the answer from supplied terms. Good for definitions and process questions.

  5. 05
    Interpret the data

    A graph, table or diagram, and questions that only the data can answer.

  6. 06
    True or false, with reasons

    Judge the statement, then justify it. No guessing your way through.

  7. 07
    Formula and variable ID

    Pick the right formula and say what each variable stands for.

Five days, on the house
