Continue reading “Grade 12s from the Free State, Gauteng and Eastern Cape prepare for the NBTs – March 2020”The book really helped and showed how they [the NBTs] would ask questions, so I knew what to expect, especially after doing all five of the tests. I think that everyone should do some work to prepare as it is a test unlike any normal test at school.
