Katalyst is a performance system built for South African law students preparing for professional legal examinations. Active recall, spaced repetition, and exam simulation — all in one place.
Every flashcard forces you to retrieve information from memory — the most effective study method proven by research.
Cards you struggle with appear more often. Cards you know get spaced out. Your study time goes where it matters most.
Timed mock exams with MCQ, short answer, scenario and essay questions — the same format as the real legal exam.
Read section summaries, definitions, and key concepts in the Study section.
Work through flashcards. Swipe right when you know it, left when you don’t. The system tracks every answer.
Reach 70% accuracy on a section’s flashcards to unlock the mock exams for that section.
Complete mock exams under exam conditions. Share your answers for peer review and marking.
Your dashboard shows accuracy, weak areas, and readiness at a glance.
The system identifies weak cards and surfaces them automatically.
Mock exams in the real format mean no surprises on exam day.
Spaced repetition means you spend less time re-reading and more time remembering.
Daily study streaks keep you accountable during a long preparation period.
Blind peer review of mock exams gives you feedback from fellow candidates.
Students who pass legal exams don't study harder — they study consistently. These are the rules that work.
