Questions

How does the Paper 1 marking guideline work?

It is an Excel spreadsheet. Tick each criterion the learner got right and it adds up each question, the paper total and the percentage for you. Try the sample under Example papers.

What does each grade get?

Grades 10 and 11: a practical and a theory test in Terms 1 and 3, and Paper 1 and Paper 2 for the June and November exams. Grade 12: Term 1 tests, June exams and a prelim exam in Term 3. Every term also has theory notes, PowerPoints and activities.

Are theory papers write on papers?

Yes. Learners answer in the spaces on the question paper, with answer lines sized to the marks. The memo follows the same layout, with answers in red and a tick for every mark.

Are these past papers?

No. Every paper is new, written for this shop, and new papers are set every year.

Which programming language do IT papers use?

IEB papers use Java. CAPS papers use Delphi.

Who at my school can use what I buy?

Every teacher at your school may edit, print and use it with their own learners. Sharing with other schools, learners or websites is not allowed.

Can my school pay by EFT?

Yes. Choose school invoice in your basket. Files are released once payment reflects.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 7 days if you have not downloaded any files. Once a download has started the files cannot be returned, so change of mind refunds are not possible. If a file has an error or will not open, we fix it within two working days or refund you.
