They seek input early
Not after the first failed test - before it. Top performers treat external support the way elite athletes treat coaching: not as remediation, but as optimisation.

So you got into Engineering.
Believe it or not – that was the easy part.
You made the cut. Top marks in matric. Distinction in Mathematics. Probably in Physical Science, too. You earned your place in one of South Africa’s most competitive programmes – until the first test results come back.

The Wake-Up Call
Nobody warned you about this part.
In school, you were the one others came to for help.
- You understood things faster
- You worked harder
- You got the results
Engineering was the obvious choice.
And along comes University.
40-60%
of engineering students
drop out
80%
of engineering students
fail the first SWK test
The gap between matric and university isn't a step - it's a cliff.
You're not alone. You're not even unusual.
What Actually Works
The students who make it through aren't smarter. They're more strategic.
Here's what the research tells us about engineering students who succeed:
They understand the system
Which topics carry the most weight. Which past papers predict exam patterns. Which concepts from first semester become critical in second year. Knowledge of the game matters as much as knowledge of the content.
They build efficient study systems
University rewards different skills than high school. Memorisation gives way to application. Calculation gives way to proof-based thinking. The students who adapt are the ones who survive.
They're not doing it alone
Research consistently shows that successful students seek help from peers, tutors and mentors. The "I'll figure it out myself" approach has a 40-60% dropout rate.

Risk is 22x your protection investment
The question isn't whether you can afford support.
It's whether you can afford to risk not having it.

This Probably Isn't For You If...
- You're convinced you can figure it out alone (statistically, there's a 40-60% chance you're wrong)
- You're looking for someone to do the work for you
- You think asking for help means you don't belong in engineering
- You're not willing to change how you study, just how hard you study

Just wanted to let you know that I got 90% for my NBT MAT test. Thank you so much for the great math prep classes! It made a huge difference
Honestly the best way to go over such a large amount of content in a small amount of time. I don’t know how I would have done it without Seventh Star. The lessons were extremely beneficial!
I have recently done your NBT course, and would like to say that it has been a tremendous help with my NBT prep. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent support and guidance throughout the course. Your dedication and patience made a huge difference in my learning experience, and I truly appreciate it. Thank you very much for everything.
