The Gauteng Department of Education wishes grade 12 learners all the best as they write preliminary examinations from Monday, 29 August 2011. With less than 50 days days to go before the start of the final grade 12 exams, we urge all learners to apply themselves with energy and dedication to the preliminary examinations.
Each year, the preliminary exams give learners an opportunity to experience first hand questions they are likely to face in the forthcoming matric exams. Prelims also contribute to the school based assessment mark which makes up 25% of the matric mark.
At this time of year we want to urge learners to do two things: set up small study groups to support each other with revision and take advantage of the differnt study groups and camps that offer matric support.
Since February the Gauteng Department of Education has run matric support camps on Saturday mornings and during school holidays. Targeting all learners in underperforming schools, these camps will from September focus intensively on exam technique and final revision.
During the exams, we encourage learners to have sufficient rest the night before, have all the necessary material (calculator, pens and pencils, erasers, etc), read the entire paper, read instructions, and plan their time carefully. We also encourage learners to verify their exam registration details. Learners with incorrect registration details will not be allowed to write. The timetable for preliminary exams can be accessed on www.education.gpg.gov.za.
To families we say please be supportive during this time: make sure your son or daughter has a quiet corner for study, relief from household chores and your constant love and care. Remind them that while you expect them to do their best you will still support them even if they do not do as well as they hoped they would do. They still have time to improve their results in the final matric exam.
