The Benoni High School pupil said listening in class allowed him the luxury of spending less time studying at home, and more time to concentrate on his additional subjects and social life.
Wei obtained distinctions in Chinese A-level, mathematics, life orientation, accounting, engineering, graphics and design, life sciences, physical sciences and advanced programme mathematics.
The 19-year-old said he was not surprised at receiving eight distinctions.
He added that most of the subjects he chose were practical, requiring him to understand rather than learn it by heart.
Apart from listening in class, Wei spend 30 minutes a day revising the work he was taught at school.
He urged this year’s matrics to follow these steps: listen in class, if possible study whilst at school, have good time management skills and have a desire to study.
