Communications preferences

If you'd like to receive news, like information about competitions and opportunities, make sure that you have updated your preferences to Yes. You can update your preferences by clicking on the blue Update preferences button.


Competitions and leaderboards

If you want to take part in Siyavula's exciting competitions like #1MillionMaths and #HeadSTARt, make sure you are opted in. If you are not opted in to the leaderboards, you will need to click on the Participate in competitions and leaderboards button, and confirm that you want to take part.


To take part in the competitions, you must confirm your correct grade. If you are not in the right grade, you will not be eligible to win any prizes.


Content access

When you sign up you are normally given access to both the Maths and Science practice service, as well as Exam Prep for both subjects. The expiry date for your access will be shown here.


Account history

This shows when your account was first created, when you last confirmed your grade, and when last you practised.


Delete my account

Should you no longer require an account with Siyavula, you are able to delete your account here, by selecting the Delete my Account button.


If you select this option, you will be asked to confirm your choice before your account is deleted!


Question history

Here you will be able to see your whole question history, and all the questions you've answered, as well as the answer you gave for each question. This is useful if you want to ask your teacher about the answer you gave to a question. Just click on the question number on the left, and you'll be taken back to that question!


Learner certificates and learner reports

In these two sections, you can view and download your learner certificate (which shows your overall level of mastery) and your learner reports, which give a detailed picture of what and how you have practised.


Assignments

Here you will see which assignments you have worked on.
