Engage in group discussions

 

Group discussions will help you to get support from your peers in your areas of weakness in Kiswahili. You will be able to exchange ideas and progress in a group revision. This is especially important in fasihi andishi where you can discuss on the various books that are to be examined i.e. riwaya, tamthilia hadithi fupi etc. you should however make sure that you are in a group that is small , manageable and whose members are co-operative.

 

Do quick revision
