FOREWORD Dear Matriculant The Matric year signifies the impending end of a 12-year journey of basic education. It also represents a transition towards post-school destinations which include admission to Higher Education Institutions (e.g. universities, colleges and universities of technology) as well as the world of work. It is a key imperative for the Gauteng Department of Education to ensure:

Continued improvement of matric results; and Continued provision of support to learners to ensure that

they achieve their National Senior Certificate (NSC). This booklet has been developed for that purpose to provide practical guidelines through a FINAL PUSH STRATEGY that focuses on the importance of the NSC, career counselling, study skills and subject specific exam tips for all the NSC subjects. The booklet also serves to motivate the learner to strive for excellence, even in these difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various helplines are provided to ensure that learners will seek and access help timeously. As the count down continues towards the final NCS exams, the GDE wishes that all students will refocus their attention and energies towards achieving the NSC. We wish you well and encourage you to give your best shot for the preparation of the final exams.

COUNT DOWN

The Countdown to the start of the Matric Final Examination is an indication of the available days left to prepare for the examinations

All learners, teachers, each classroom and school must have an “Olympic approach” towards counting down the number of days to ensure preparations are on track for each examination

Learners must maximize the use of available time and resources to ensure optimal utilization and preparations for the examinations

OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN STARTED WHEN THE SCHOOLS REOPENED! 198 SCHOOL DAYS in 2021

NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE

The National Senior Certificate is a qualification based on the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) that was introduced for the first time in Grade 10 in 2006. The country is implementing a single system of education managed by the Department of Basic Education and administered by the Provincial Education Departments (PEDs). Equally, there is a single system of examination and assessment administered by 9 different provinces and centrally managed and coordinated by the Department of Basic Education.

To qualify for the writing of the NSC examination a candidate has to go through twelve years of schooling and must complete the programme requirements for Grade 10, 11 and 12, separately The importance of the National Senior Certificate (NSC) in the South African context The National Senior Certificate is a three year qualification which is attained after completing Grade 10, 11 and 12, based on the teaching and learning that takes place over the twelve years of schooling. In terms of the Action Plan, the following three targets are directly measured through performance in the National Senior Certificate:

Increase the number of Grade 12 learners who become eligible for a Bachelor Programme at a University;

Increase the number of Grade 12 learners who pass Mathematics; and

Increase the number of learners who pass Physical Sciences.

The National Development Plan (NDP) envisaged that by 2030, South Africans should have access to education of the highest quality, leading to significantly improved learning outcomes. The NDP makes new proposals in some areas, and in others it outlines more general points of departure to frame and guide reforms in education.

NSC NSC Pass

NSC (National Senior Certificate) Pass

To get an NSC pass you need your 40% minimum for your home language and 40% for another 2 subjects – you can

fail a subject – even your first additional language – but you must then get 30% or more for the other 6 making a total

of 6 passes. If you have an average of 33⅓% you will be awarded with your NSC but will not enable you to study at

any university.

You need to aim higher!

F Fail Further study may not be possible unless subjects are rewritten

of 78

NSC PASSES

There are different levels of achievement shown on National Senior

Certificate and as such have different implications on the next step

that a learners should take.

It is always compulsory to pass your home language with at least

40% – anything less than 40% for a home language means the

learner has failed.

Bachelors – Will gain you provisional entrance* into any

University or degree course.

Diploma – Will gain you provisional entrance* into any

University of Technology or diploma course.

Certificate – Will gain you provisional entrance* into any

College or certificate course.

*PLEASE NOTE: The provisional entrance indicated above means even though the learner achieved a bachelors degree pass which allows him or her entrance at the university, however it does not guarantee him/her a space in all the courses because for programmes like Engineering you might find that the university wants 80% pass in Mathematics and if the learner had achieved symbols below that she/he will not be accepted in the programme.

SELF ASSESSMENT: career choice

Have I: Attended career guidance sessions as part of Life

Orientation and selected a possible future career or

for all subjects, numbers and percentages for each

assessment task and for each of the formal examination

sittings.

Plotted weekly progress against targets captured on

the chart

Developed clear ACTION PLANS, reflecting who,

what, how, where and when to achieve the desired

targets [study timetables]

ADMISSION POINT SCORE (APS)

An Admission Points Score (APS) is the converted average of your matric marks. Each mark is converted to a mark out of ten. These marks and then all added together to give you an Admission Point Score or an APS. Your APS determines if you are eligible for a specific tertiary education course. Some courses may require a higher APS than others. Use the table below to convert your marks into an APS. This is the mark that tertiary institutions will look at when you apply.

The point system works as follows:

SYMBOL Percentage POINTS A 80%-100% 7 B 70%-79% 6 C 60%-69% 5 D 50%-59% 4 E 40%-49% 3 F 30%-39% 2 G 0%-29% 1

So what does all of this mean? This means you get a point for each Matric subject that

you wrote in the final examination. The number of points you get for each of your final Matric

examination subjects will depend on what percentage you get for each subject.

The points get for each subject should then be added up. This total will be your APS.

NSFAS – HAVE YOU APPLIED?

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a public entity reporting to the Department of Higher Education and Training. NSFAS provides financial assistance in the form of a study bursary to qualifying students who wish to study or are already studying at TVET colleges and public universities. WHAT DOES THE NSFAS BURSARY COVER? Applicants who are approved for NSFAS funding are covered for the following:

Registration Tuition

Allowances for:

Food Accommodation or transport Learning material Personal care

WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE BURSARY? You qualify for a NSFAS bursary if you are a South African citizen who plans to study in 2022 or you are already studying at a public university or TVET college and you meet the following requirements:

SASSA grant recipients or Your combined household income is not more than R350 000

per year or Person with a disability with a combined household income of

not more than R600 000 per year or Student who begun their university studies before 2018 and

their household income is not more than R122 000 per year

IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL BASED ASSESSMENT (SBA)

The SBA constitutes 25% of the final mark at the end of the year

in all subjects except Life Orientation.

SBA tasks for Life Orientation (LO) counts 100%.

Learners who do not have SBA marks for any subject will not be

certificated at the end of the year.

SUBJECTS WITH PRACTICAL COMPONENT

As part of SBA, learners must complete Practical Assessment

(PAT) which will constitute an additional 25% towards the final mark. In principle the SBA and PAT will count 50% and the

examinations 50% towards a final mark.

ORAL FOR LANGUAGES

In the past the oral mark was counted twice as part of SBA and examinations.

The new policy separates orals, examinations and SBA.

The final mark is calculated as follows:

Examination =62.5% SBA =25% Orals =12.5% Total =100%.

On the basis of the above it is imperative that each Grade 12

learner takes the SBA seriously and prepares accordingly.

Make time management your priority - Take a few minutes to plan and prioritise your daily action plans, especially your study

schedule

Stop stressing about unfinished tasks - Get it done or take it

off your to do list

Find out what action planning tools work best for you - Date books, calendars or task bars

Give yourself a break- Remember to pace yourself with rest periods in-between to avoid exhaustion

Maintain focus - When routines are losing value and efficiency, rearrange activities to meet your daily objectives

Stay on Track - Keep your priority items in mind throughout the day.

Mark your achievements against planned priorities.

Get organized - Make sure all the relevant subject and study

resource items – stationery, calculators etc. are readily available

Value time - With more preparation you can put unexpected

time to good use by reading, making notes – summarizing using

mind maps - or just catching up

Change time wasting behavior e.g. postponing priorities OR

procrastination.

Reward yourself for your excellent time management skills with a

healthy treat.

SCHOOL BASED ASSESSMENT (SBA) TIME MANAGEMENT

of 78

IDENTIFYING AND BUSTING TIME WASTERS 1.Social Media If you want to decrease your time spent on social media, begin by taking all social media apps off your phone. Limit yourself to a small number of social media platforms you want to be active on. 2. Procrastination If you struggle with procrastination, implement the “Do It Now” principle. Also, do the thing that you are dreading most, first! If you get that task done, you won’t be constantly trying to find other things to waste your time.

3. Clutter This one is simple. Clear out the clutter. Get rid of stuff you don’t need, love, or use and organize what’s left. 4. Forgetting to Plan You can begin by designing a study plan or creating a daily routine. By getting into the mindset of thinking a few days to a week ahead, you will start to save time.

5. Not “Completing the Cycle” I’ve found that I do better with completing each task by making more detailed to do lists. Always try to see what you still have to do in order to finish it completely.

6. Saying Yes Too Much We must begin by communicating to others what we can and cannot do. Saying no (to anything and anyone that is a time waster) is very refreshing. It means that you respect your time and wish to utilize it to focus on your schoolwork.

7. Not Asking for Help In the opposite manner of saying “yes” too much, sometimes we don’t ask for help enough. When we try to do everything by ourselves we become run down and irritated. Whatever it is that you are struggling with the most, ask for help.

8. The Unnecessary Tasks or Activities When you are considering spending time on tasks or activities, think first if it’s something that will be worth the time invested. Is it something that will improve your studies? Make sure to evaluate whether it’s time well spent before devoting so much effort into it.

9. Lack of a Routine If you lack a routine, you need to start by prioritizing your goals. Then you need to set a general time of day that you want to accomplish those goals. Creating a routine will help you to fill your time doing that things that will put you in a better position with your studies.

10. Not Prioritizing Prioritizing what is important to us is the best step in using the time we have more intentionally.

STUDY TIPS

Answering short questions – one-word answers

Use flashcards, writing the key terms, dates and concepts on the front and the definition, event, and explanations on the back.

Benefits of flashcards:

1. You can take your flashcards with you wherever you go to help you learn or revise the content.

2. You can use a lot of creativity to develop your flashcards, e.g. you can use different coloured paper, highlighters and shapes.

3. Many a time a learn through association and the brain is also stimulated by colour.

4. You can use your flashcards as game cards. Ask your family or friends to play along. Let them read the questions and you provide the responses.

Why Is Note Taking Important?

It keeps you awake. Note taking forces you to pay attention and helps you focus in class (or while reading a textbook).

It helps you learn. Actively engaging with the topic by listening and then summarizing what you hear helps you understand and remember the information later.

It helps you keep a record. Notes are a record of what you learned in class—and what you need to review.

It will help you study. Review your notes regularly to get the most out of them. You can use them to make up sample test questions or even turn them into digital flashcards.

TIPS on developing MOBILE NOTES Use abbreviations or your own kind of shorthand to write quickly.

Try “w/o” for without or “e.g.” for examples . If typing, get familiar with keyboard shortcuts.

Keep notes short and sweet. Jot down key terms and write in short sentences or phrases.

Keep track of direct quotes, personal thoughts, and questions

you want answered. For example, you could underline anything that’s unclear and that you want to ask your teacher about later.

Use symbols. Try using an arrow to indicate important things such

as teacher’s clues in class about what is important to study, definitions, and key ideas. Hint: If your teacher says “This is important” make sure you write it down!

NB: Make your mobile notes on coloured paper. Be creative! Take them along

for easy reference or study purposes (in bus, car, garden, etc). Ask a

friend or family to test you on the content.

What is Exam Anxiety?

While it’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous before a test, some students find test anxiety debilitating. Racing thoughts, inability to concentrate, or feelings of dread can combine with physical symptoms like a fast heartbeat, headache, or nausea. Here's what you can do to stay calm in the days leading up to and during your test.

1. Be prepared.

Yes, this seems obvious, but it bears repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepped thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the exams. FAILURE to PREPARE equals PREPARATION to FAIL!

2. Get a good night’s sleep.

Cramming is never the answer and pulling an all-nighter can exacerbate your nerves. Having adequate rest (9–10 hours per night) is likely to be more beneficial than re-reading a text until dawn.

3. Fuel up.

Eat a nutritious breakfast before the test and pack smart snacks for ongoing energy. Look for foods that offer a steady stream of nutrients, rather than a sugar high followed by a crash.

4. Get to class—or the exam venue —early.

Feeling rushed will only amp up the anxiety. Pack everything you need for the exam the night before and set the alarm, so you can get out the door on time.

5. Have a positive mental attitude.

Bring a picture of your happy place or come up with a morale-boosting mantra like “I can do this” or “I worked hard and deserve this.” Peek at your picture or recite your mantra, right before the test begins.

6. Read carefully.

Read the instructions thoroughly and read all answers before making a choice or starting a question. There is nothing worse than putting time into a question and realizing you are not solving for x, or the essay/question is off target. Slowing down and stay focused.

7. Just start.

The blank page can maximize your anxiety. After you’ve read the instructions, dive right in by making an outline for your answer. Or, find some questions you ace to build up your confidence and momentum. You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling.

8. Don’t pay attention to what other people are doing.

Everyone else is scribbling away? Ack! What do they know that you don’t? It doesn’t matter. Pay attention to your own test and pace and forget about the other students in the room.

9. Watch the clock.

Realizing that time is almost up and there are lots of test questions left can make it hard to do anything useful in those final minutes. Stay on pace by scoping out the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.

10. Focus on calm breathing and positive thoughts.

Deep breathing can slow down a beating heart or a racing mind, so practice these techniques at home. The very act of concentrating on breathing and thinking can biometrically alter those anxious feelings.

Sometimes just remembering that some exam anxiety is a normal part of school can help make it easier to handle!

WAYS TO OVERCOME EXAM ANXIETY BEATING EXAM STRESS

Before the Exams

Develop some pre-test rituals. Consistent habits and behaviors can put you at ease in stressful situations. Examples might include taking a short walk, listening to music, praying or visualizing your success on the exam.

Arrive early and prepared. You will want to be able to find your seat, and you can only do this if you arrive early. Bring all of the materials you need to take the test with you, for example things like a calculator, eraser, ruler or other.

Avoid standing/sitting around anxious people. If you know that you will see peers or friends who are overtly anxious, find a different place to sit or stand. Use time prior to the test to relax, take deep breaths, and think positive thoughts. Focus on your own preparation and future success.

During the Exams

Read over the exam when you first begin. Take notes on the number of questions, point values, and other important information. Next, plan your time so that you have a few minutes to spare to review your answers.

Attempt all the questions you selected. Start with the easy questions, skipping over difficult questions or questions you’re unsure of. Be sure you mark these questions so you can return to them later. You may find clues to the answers in other questions, and answers/ideas may come to you as you are answering other questions.

Consider a “brain dump." This means writing down any

formulas, mnemonic devises or equations on a scrap paper as soon as you receive the exam. By recording things you are worried you might forget later, you can begin the exam with more confidence and less stress.

Review answers. Be willing to change your answer if you

realize your earlier answer is not correct. It has been found that reviewing exam questions may help you catch errors or mistakes; however, this is different from second-guessing or doubting your answers. Only change answers when you are sure you have made a mistake.

of 78

Yes, I can!

1. Read the questions & instructions carefully Make sure you understand exactly what the question is asking you to do. The smartest answer in the world isn’t going to score you any points if it answers a question that’s not being asked.

2. Past exam papers to better your exam writing skills Do it. Go in there and scramble your way through past exam papers. It will give you a very good idea of the exam structure and the types of questions and instructions you may be confronted with.

3. Time management This is a very crucial tip, not only for exam writing but for the study time that precedes it. You need to figure out how to use your available time to maximise your productivity.

4. Befriend the rough draft If the exam at hand is an English essay, you don’t need to fully write out the entire essay as a draft, but it’s incredibly useful to help you structure your writing. A well-structured essay will guarantee a higher mark allocation. For Science or Maths-based exams, the rough draft can help you to scribble down important formulae or side calculations.

5. Don’t skip your classes. Go to class, extra class, SSIP and note down what the teachers are saying, and be assured that you may make this the focus of your study time.

6. Write neatly and legibly Write NEATLY and LEGIBLY to better your exam writing skills! Remember that teachers/markers are human beings that have to mark gazillions of exam papers. If they come across handwriting that is hardly identifiable, they’re not going to be very lenient in trying to decipher what you meant to say.

7. Re-read it all It’s very important to re-read your answers… check your spelling, check whether that “3” won’t be mistaken for an “8”, and verify that you didn’t forget one of the multiple choice questions. It’s an important tactic for you to spot mistakes and correct them in time.

8. Fuel up properly Don’t study or go writing your exam on an empty stomach.. Have whole grain bread, oats, and other satiable carbs. Combine that with some healthy fats (nuts, seeds, organic peanut butter, etc.) and you’re good to go. Leave the waffles and Coco Pops for after the exams.

9. Try not to panic. You’re not alone in the exam gutter! Students nationwide write exams, and everyone experiences anxious thoughts. You’re not alone. Therefore, DON’T PANIC!

Just do your best – Give it your best shot!

TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF DURING THE PANDEMIC!

Covid-19 has taken over the world, forcing billions of people to change their lifestyle overnight. A lifestyle choice is a personal and conscious decision to perform a behaviour that may increase or decrease the risk of injury or disease. Lifestyle choices have an impact on one’s health. During lockdown, people have been dealing with anxiety and depression differently. For example, if there is tension in the families, a person may overeat, bulimia and other disordered eating may be triggered due to these risk factors. We have seen an increase in substance abuse, smoking and drinking alcohol. These have implications, more concerning during a pandemic like COVID-19. Smoking impacts lung function. This is especially problematic because COVID-19 is a virus that attacks the lungs. Alcohol can weaken the immune system and impact sleep. This factor can make individuals more susceptible to COVID-19. Proper nutrition and hydration are vital, especially during this time of COVID-19. People who eat a well-balanced diet tend to be healthier with stronger immune systems and lower risk of chronic illnesses and infectious diseases. So you should eat a variety of fresh and unprocessed foods every day to get the vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, protein and antioxidants your body needs.

PRACTICAL TIPS DURING THE PANDEMIC Drink enough water. Avoid sugar, fat and salt to significantly lower your risk of overweight, obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer. Exercising regularly with proper social distancing, and stress management techniques are important as people are anxious of the unknown and always indoors. It is also important to focus on mental health. Phone calls and visual meet ups with friends to talk or even share tea, lunch or dinner dates are important and constructive ways to stay grounded and sane during this difficult time. We are in this together.

(10 x 2) Items in the data response questions is 'scaffolded' from easy to difficult: 2 marks easy, 4 marks moderate and 4 marks difficult The answers to the first 2 questions (1 mark each) may appear in the data, but will be one of application Data response questions give a context on what aspects to be assessed, and answers would not necessary appear in the data

• The two 8 mark paragraph questions – the first ONE is single question (middle order), e.g., explain, discuss, distinguish or differentiate between, draw a correctly labelled graph/draw a correctly labelled graph and explain//use the given graph and explain

The 2ND Paragraph question is ONE single question (higher order), e.g., how, why or evaluate. Higher order questions are grounded in the content. These types of questions test critical thinking, where candidates should be able to apply their knowledge, through logical reasoning and also have an awareness of their current economic climate. Content (covered by discuss/examine/describe/ analyse/explain/ evaluate/ compare/ assess/ justify/ construct/ calculate) can be assessed as higher-order questions. Answers will not necessarily be found in textbooks.

SECTION C: Consists of TWO questions: QUESTIONS 5–6 of which the candidate must choose only ONE

All essays are clearly marked in the 2021 examination guidelines

The ESSAY should be written in the IMAC structure: I –INTRODUCTION M-MAIN PART (Body) A- ADDITIONAL PART C- CONCLUSION

The introduction is a moderate to difficult lower-order response, A candidate can use an accepted definition or an appropriate explanation of the topic under discussion as an introduction For the body the learner must know which relevant information to extract Keep in mind that textbooks give more or less information about a topic than is required by the examination guidelines. In terms of the examination guidelines, more than one question can be asked on a particular topic. The learner must be able to select/ extracts the relevant information and then relate it to the question In the additional part, is a moderate to difficult higher-order question and requires deeper insight and understanding of the particular topic. Candidates must be able to: Give their own opinion and then substantiate/demonstrate arguments against or in favour; Evaluate and critique certain actions/values… in the economy Analyse certain aspects … in the economy by unpacking and critique Use economic models, e.g., graphs and diagrams, to explain certain aspects of economics The conclusion is a moderate to difficult lower-order response, the candidate can use any appropriate final/finishing remark on the topic under discussion; learners must not repeat any facts

ECONOMICS (Continued) Section A

For learners to master Section A they should master the concepts

Basic concepts: Teachers should ensure that learners understand essential basic concepts and terminology before engaging in their applications.

Continual testing of terminology is strongly advised, as contained in Mind the Gap and GDE online resource, where all relevant concepts are explained. Class tests should include definitions to ensure that learners stay familiar with these basic concepts

Types of short questions found are multiple choice, matching, give the term & name 2…(sec B)

• 2.5 ONE single question (higher order), e.g., how, why or evaluate.

Higher order questions are grounded in the content. These types of questions test critical thinking, where candidates should be able to apply their knowledge, through logical reasoning and also have an awareness of their current economic climate. Content (covered by discuss/examine/describe/ analyse/explain/ evaluate/ compare/ assess/ justify/ construct/ calculate) can be assessed as higher-order questions. Answers will not necessarily be found in textbooks. • There are TWO essays given per paper, and learners

select only ONE to answer • All essays are clearly marked in the 2021

examination guidelines • The ESSAY should be written in the IMAC structure: SECTION C • The introduction is a moderate to difficult lower-

order response, A candidate can use an accepted definition or an appropriate explanation of the topic under discussion as an introduction

GEOGRAPHY • VERY IMPORTANT: NOTE THAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE

GEOGRAPHY PAPER CHANGES FROM 2021. IT WILL BE TWO PAPERS OF 150 MARKS EACH WRITTEN ON TWO DIFFERENT DAYS (NO MORE MORNING AND AFTERNOON PAPERS). THERE ARE ALSO NO CHOICE QUESTIONS FROM THIS YEAR. ALL THE QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED.

• MAPWORK IS PART OF BOTH PAPERS (QUESTION 3 IN PAPER 1 AND PAPER 2)

• Time Management: Develop a Study timetable (include other subjects). Include other activities on the timetable, relaxation, family time etc

• Organise your notes for studying and revision • Continuously ask geographical questions when studying (HOW,

WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN). This will help you to cover every angle of the topic you studying

• Get all the past papers and use it to get used to the way questions are worded. Get used to the language used in the papers and the correct Geography “words” and terminology to use when answering a question.

• Look at the mark allocation and plan your answers accordingly • Look at the questioning techniques and verbs use. Explain how;

Explain why (new way of questioning); also still know and understand the Verbs used in the questions

• The following types of questions appear in the paper/s (Short questions, Data response questions and paragraph questions)

• Always write full sentences unless you are asked to give a one word answer.

• When answering a paragraph, write full sentences; do not write in point form (use bullets). Read the question well, most times there are two parts in the paragraph question to respond to

• Study and know all the concepts. Make sure that certain keywords and phrases must appear in the concept

• Know how to use the resources (diagrams, extracts) in the Annexure to your advantage. Look at the source (diagram) and get as much of the information from it before you look at the question

• Read the extracts with understanding, sometimes you are expected to quote from the extract in your answers.

• Read the questions with understanding. Underline/highlight key words and phrases in the question (use highlighter on question paper only NOT answer sheet)

• Know ALL your calculations. Any calculation can appear in any of the two papers. Know the mark allocation of the calculations (as set out in the 2021 Exam guidelines)

• Know how to use the topographic map and orthophoto map together to answer different questions.

• Read the question clearly to know if the question refers to the topographic map or the orthophoto map OR BOTH to answer a question

• Make sure you take all your “tools”( ruler, calculator, protractor, pencil, eraser etc) to the exam room, no borrowing allowed.

LIFE ORIENTATION Content that will be assessed ALL six MAJOR Topics in LO will be assessed. Sub-topics

will be assessed in an integrated fashion. Therefore, all content covered for Terms 1,2 and 3 MUST be covered.

10% of gr 10 and 11 content will be included in the LO CAT to assess FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE.

10% question on Physical Education will also be included in the LO CAT.

Therefore, ensure that you revise some of the Gr 10/11 content as well as questions on PE.

General tips: Previous LO CAT papers should be used as EXEMPLARS of

HOW the questions are asked. PLEASE DO NOT SPOT QUESTIONS USING THE PREVIOUS CAT PAPERS! The questions will NEVER BE REPEATED! However, the structure of questions and the TOPICS may be repeated!

SPOTTING questions or certain topics could COMPROMISE the learners. REFRAIN from this practise!

The LO CAT is set as a FRESH ASSESSMENT yearly and does not consider previous CASE STUDIES or SCENARIOs. Thus, acquisition of the requisite CONTENT and CONCEPTUAL knowledge is KEY!

LEARNING should be as per the CAPS ATP and NOT THE TEXTBOOK! The LO CAT is set using the ATP and NOT the textbook/s.

ALWAYS LEARN APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS!

ALWAYS CONSIDER THE STRUCTURE THAT IS PROVIDED ABOVE WHEN you develop when you prepare for the LO CAT, i.e.: DEFINITION, DISCUSS, EXPLAIN, CRITIQUE, EVALUATE, PROVIDE A SOLUTION.

REMEMBER that the LO CAT is NOT a COMPREHENSION or GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TEST. It tests the knowledge, skills and values as prescribed in the CAPS. Therefore, CASE STUDIES and SCENARIOS are only included to set/create the CONTEXT. But the questions will always assess the CONTENT taught!!

ALSO look at the COGNITIVE/COMPLEXITY LEVEL of questions. Questions will generally reflect LOWER, MIDDLE and HIGHER COGNITIVE demand and may also be of easy, moderate and higher complexity (difficulty) demand.

Understand what the various command verbs require you to do and limit your response to what is required by the question.

Learners need to read the questions with understanding. Learners should analyse a question to understand what is required. Learners need to HIGHLIGHT/UNDERLINE the COMMAND VERBS, TOPIC/S, QUANTITIES, and other in the question! Sometimes a question may have TWO command verbs!

Types of questions: Within a question will always be a minimum of two

elements or more, e.g. : Define (command verb) human rights (topic/content)

There could be three element: e.g.: Evaluate (command verb) three strategies (quantity) of that could be used to combat unfair labour practices in the workplace (topic/content).

There could be four elements: Discuss (command verb) three steps (quantity) in conflict resolution (content/topic) and provide reasons why these steps would help to resolve the conflict in the scenario (application of knowledge).

How to answer questions: LEARNERS should take different coloured

HIGHLIGHTERS into the exam room. Learners generally loose marks because they

know the topic, but fail to FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS of the questions.

Lastly, in Life Orientation a 2 mark allocation implies that the learner must give a response that has to two parts: e.g. a FACT (based on content knowledge) plus SUBSTANTIATION (reason why). Example: The Employment Equity Act compels employers to appoint designated groups of people (fact) to ensure that there is equal representation in the workplace (substantiation).

Sections B and C require full responses or extended writing. One answer responses or one word responses are NOT ALLOWED. Learners would generally lose a lot of marks if the responses are not comprehensive.

Remember to write in BULLET FORM and look at the mark allocation to guide you with the length of the response.

If the mark allocation is 4 marks – write a FACT and expand on the SAME fact by adding three ideas instead of mentioning a new fact. For example: (a) social justice is the equal provision of social service; (b) this means that regardless of race or income level, (c) all people must be treated equally and (d) access to social services must be equal for all people.

MATHEMATICS Paper 1 • Bookwork like the commutative law need attention. Quick derivation of quadratic

sequence formulae require attention. • Learners need to use graphs to answer questions on functions and not rely on

algebra only • Learners need to exploit the ZPD through solving revision exercises in the

textbooks and working in groups on their own. • Learners are not prohibited from using a quadratic formula even in quadratic

equations where decimals are not mentioned. Quadratic equations must be transformed into standard form.

• When solving inequalities a graph or number line or table needs to be used to read off the solution.

• In exponents, working with prime factors must be emphasised and in surds perfect squares must be employed.

• When working with patterns or sequences, you must know what type of sequence you are working with. Identify constant difference or constant ratio or constant second difference.

• When solving simultaneous equations learners need to start with a linear equation, express x in terms of y or the other way round and then substitute in the more complex equation and then do the rest. When the linear equation is handled if possible avoid fractions.

• Practice exams before Prelims are necessary • Learners need to be given at least 7 “sums” per homework/classwork and

fortnight teats • When dealing with a hyperbola learners should be able to write off asymptotes

from the dotted lines. Furthermore when finding the equation of symmetry of a hyperbola learners must note that when the slope is negative they use y = --x+c and when the slope is positive they use y = +x+c.

• When dealing with graphs determine the intercepts of each function with axes. Remember that the y-axis is where x = 0 and the x-axis is where y = 0. The point of intersection is where you solve equations of the functions simultaneously. To

determine turning points you need 𝑑

𝑑𝑥= 0

• Take note of the differences in compound increase/decrease and simple increase/decrease

• Differentiation using first principles means employ 𝑙𝑖𝑚ℎ→0𝑓(𝑥+ℎ)−𝑓(𝑥)

ℎ , otherwise

differentiation often means use rules Paper 2 • Calculators can be effectively used in plotting the points so as to sketching trig

graphs. • Calculators could be used by learners in calculating the standard deviation and

mean. • Collect, organise and interpret univariate numerical data in order to determine: a. measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) of grouped and ungrouped data, b. five number summary c. box and whisker diagrams d. measures of dispersion: range, percentiles, quartiles, interquartile and semi-inter-quartile range. • Learners need to remember that the product of gradients equals -1, is accepted to

prove If asked to prove . For parallel lines it must be remembered that slopes of the lines are equal.

• When dealing with trig identities change functions to sin and cos . • When finding general equations of trig equations start by simplifying an equation

as far as possible. Use identities, double and compound angle formulae, and factorisation where possible.

• Learners must use the cosine rule in a triangle that has three elements, one of which is a side.

• When answering Euclidean Geometry questions read the question carefully and interpret and use the given information. The answer is in the question. You may need to underline important points and make sure you understand each term in the given information.

• Practice exams before Prelims are necessary • Learners need to be given at least 7 “sums” per homework/classwork and fortnight

tests

Common verbs used in Questions

Analyse Examine in close detail; Look in depth at each part using supporting evidence for and against as well as how these interrelate to each other.

Compare Examine qualities, or characteristics, to discover resemblances/ similarities. 'Compare' is usually stated as 'compare with': you are to emphasize similarities.

Deduce Draw conclusion from ...

Define Definitions call for concise, clear, authoritative meanings. Outline the precise meaning of a word or phrase in context.

Describe In a descriptive answer you should recount, characterize, sketch or relate in narrative form.

Differentiate between

Identify differences and provide substantiating evidence if appropriate.

Evaluate In an evaluation question you are expected to present a careful appraisal/judgement of the problem stressing both merits and limitations.

Explain In explanatory answers it is important that you clarify and interpret the information you present. In such an answer it is best to state the 'how' or 'why'.

Illustrate A question which asks you to illustrate usually requires you to explain or clarify your answer by presenting an example. (eg. you should draw something.)

List listing is similar to enumeration. You are expected in such questions to present an itemized series or tabulation. Such answers should always be given in concise form.

State In questions which direct you to specify, give, state, or present, you are called upon to outline briefly and dearly the facts of the situation or a side of an argument.

General Hints :

• Read the instructions carefully and answer all questions. • Make sure what the question requires from you • Answer only what is requested – don’t waste time • Show all your calculations – always • Remember to use the correct UNITS when calculating • Sketches should be in pencil and labelled clearly
