What this is

An interactive subject and career exploration tool for Grade 9 learners choosing their Grade 10 subjects. It takes about eight minutes. It moves from what a learner is interested in, through how they handle a real situation, to which parts of their current Grade 9 subjects they actually enjoy, and ends with a shortlist of subjects and career fields worth exploring.

What it isn't

It isn't a psychometric assessment, a formal careers test, or a decision tool. It does not predict what a learner should become. It is designed to start a conversation between a learner, a parent and a Life Orientation teacher, and it says so on the final card.

How the suggestions are generated

A simple rules-based scoring system, not AI, running entirely in the browser. Every answer adds points to a hidden subject and interest profile, and every point carries a reason, which is why the final card can explain why each subject was suggested rather than just listing it. The full logic is written up in plain English and open to review. Ask us for a copy.

Where the subject and topic lists come from

The Grade 10 subject list follows Annexure B of the Department of Basic Education's National Policy pertaining to the Programme and Promotion Requirements of the NCS. The Grade 9 topics the tool asks about are real CAPS topics, taken from the DBE's own Grade 9 Annual Teaching Plans, not invented categories.

Privacy

Nothing is collected, nothing is sent to us, and there is no account. Results exist only in the browser. A learner can optionally save their card to their own device or generate a share link that carries the result inside the link itself, so a parent opening it sees the real card rather than a blank page. Adding a first name to the card is optional and that name never leaves the learner's own device except inside a link they choose to send.

What to check with the school

• Which of these subjects the school actually offers, and in which option blocks
• The school's own subject choice deadlines and forms
• Whether Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy is the right call, with the Maths teacher
• University and TVET admission requirements, which change and vary by institution

A note on languages, Life Orientation and Mathematics

Every learner takes seven subjects: two official languages, Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy, Life Orientation, and a minimum of three subjects they choose. The tool only recommends from that third group, because the first four are compulsory. Mathematics versus Mathematical Literacy is handled as its own question and its own section on the final card, since it is the single most consequential decision in the process.
