Everything you need to sit for the Systems of Knowledge Intermediate exam.
This 270+ page bundle covers all four modules of the MATSEC syllabus across two comprehensive packs: a 190+ page note pack and an 80 page model essay pack.
Many of our students have achieved an A or B using these notes and essays alone.
What's Inside:
Note Pack (190+ pages)
- Full Syllabus Coverage: 60+ sections spanning all four modules. Every topic in the syllabus is covered in detail.
- Exam Structure Breakdown: Opens with a clear guide to the exam format (60% written paper, 40% project), how questions are structured, and what examiners expect and how to handle quote stimuli.
- Exam Preparation Summary (Every Module): Tables showing the most frequently examined topics, based on real past papers and examiner reports. Each entry tells you how often the topic appears and what to prepare for it. This section alone can focus your revision on what actually comes up.
- Quotes Reference Tables (Every Module): Organised tables of the most useful quotes for each module, matched to the specific topics they support. Each entry tells you exactly when to use the quote in an exam essay. Embedding quotes demonstrates wider reading and directly earns marks for language quality.
- Key Artworks Reference Table (Module 2): A master table of every artwork covered across all artistic periods, from Primitive to Post-Modern, including artist, date, and a concise description. Ideal for last-minute revision before Module 2.
- Artwork Images Throughout Module 2: The notes include images of key artworks from every artistic period so you can see exactly what is being discussed, from the Lascaux Cave Paintings and the Sleeping Lady to Banksy's Girl with a Balloon.
- Definition Boxes and Comparison Tables: Key terms are defined clearly in highlighted boxes. Comparison tables break down differences between concepts (e.g. Baroque vs. Impressionism, Positivism vs. Post-Positivism, Individualism vs. Communitarianism) so you can structure exam arguments effectively.
- Exam Tips Based on Real Examiner Reports: Specific warnings drawn from actual marking schemes, including the most common mistakes students make and how to avoid them.
- Malta-Specific Content Throughout: Maltese examples are included.
Model Essay Pack (80 pages)
- 40 Full-Length Model Essays: 10 essays per module, each responding to a realistic exam-style question with a quote stimulus.
- Exam-Ready Structure: Every essay follows the structure examiners reward: a clear introduction engaging with the question, developed body paragraphs with specific evidence, and a conclusion that returns to the quote stimulus.
- Full Range of Exam Topics Covered: Essays cover democratic values, free speech, voter apathy, separation of powers, globalisation, minority rights, art as power, creativity vs. tradition, environmental degradation, sustainable tourism, biodiversity, renewable energy, pseudoscience, AI ethics, biotechnology, inductive and deductive reasoning, and more.
