STUDY TIPS

BEFORE THE EXAM DAY

● Do not miss ANY days of school. If you are unwell, come to school to write your tests and then go home. Then you will be able to see how well you know your work and teachers can help you, before the exams, in areas where you are not sure.

● Make sure that you have all the notes given in class and that all your assignments are completed. Class work is always added to the exam mark to make your term mark – and it is usually worth as much, if not more, than the exam mark.

● At High School you only need to come to school to write the exam. You must make sure that you use your time at home well:

○ study at set times of the day- ask people to test you, make notes, summarise, practice labelling diagrams and maps – be active in your learning - don’t just read over your work

○ eat healthy snacks. ○ exercise every day. ○ go to bed at a sensible time

ON THE EXAM DAY

● You need to arrive for exams at 7h45 latest. You will normally be asked to enter the Main Hall at 8h00. Examiners have to hand out up to 300 papers and this takes time. There is also 10 minutes of reading time before the exam begins.

● If you are not being collected immediately after the exam, then study in the library. For security reasons you are not allowed to walk to the shops.

● Bring a book to read. Exams involve a lot of waiting around. ● Dress in FULL school uniform. ● Bring all the required stationery and a spare pen. CHECK if you need calculators or

glue etc

● Wear a watch – you are NOT allowed to have a cell phone on your desk to check the time.

DURING THE EXAM

● Use the 10 mins reading time at the start to read through all the test questions. ● Draw a marking margin on the right hand side of your page. ● Be sure to follow the instructions given for each question. ● Note how many marks a question is worth so that you know what depth of answer

(how many points) to give. ● Number your questions EXACTLY as they are numbered on the exam paper. ● Do NOT use Tippex Simply cross out neatly and rewrite.

● Don’t sit gloomily on one question which you can’t do - leave a space and move on – come back to it at the end. ● If you have time, review and check ALL your answers.

Date Tuesday 17 May 2016

Length of paper 3 hours Time 14:00 – 17:00

Marks 300

Content to be learnt for the exam

The exam consists of all the work done to date. The format is three essays all of which are a minimum of 600 words in length.

Question 1 consists of the .films studied: Revolutionary Road, The Last King of Scotland, Tsotsi, Muriel’s Wedding, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Psycho. This section also includes the novels studied: The Great Gatsby, The Color Purple and Disgrace. The student is required to have detailed knowledge of two films and two novels in order to answer this question effectively. The theme for this question is revolution and rebellion.

Question 2 is based on the poetry studied. This includes South African protest poetry, Romantic poetry and pre- and post-apartheid South African Poetry, the Metaphysicals and the Moderns. Students are required to reference two schools of poetry in this question.

Question 3 is based solely on 4 novels which the student has read independently that have made a lasting impression. The students will be required to refer to read to answer the posed question.

Tips for learners in preparation for the exam

Make sure that you can quote from all the works studied. Remember that the theme for Question 2 is power and powerlessness so approach your studies with this in mind. Do rudimentary planning prior to answering the question so that the final product is presented in a logical manner. Think about what books have had an impact on you and how this has changed the way in which you think.

There is too much new work you have studied. You MUST do a few examples of each type of question – either from the booklet, or from old tests, or from past papers. You must mark the questions you try – it is no good doing them if you get them all wrong – all your work and tests should have the correct answers on if you marked efficiently in class.

Subject Grade 12 Life Orientation IEB CAT Part B



Marks 70


IEB CAT – Section B

This exam is a follow-on from CAT Section A. The topic will be an extension of the work, research and visual diary you completed in term 1 which relates to topic of “Multiple Perspectives”. It is strongly recommended that students familiarise themselves with the preparatory tasks in section A, in order to better understand the topic.

Types of questions

The exam will consist of: ● Multiple short questions (40 marks) ● A single long essay (30 marks)

Short questions will relate to various sources that will be provided. These short questions are meant to prepare students to formulate a comprehensive response to the essay question, which follows.

The essay will require students to critically discuss a question or statement. Students will be expected to show a depth of insight into the complexity of the issue. In order to show a “complete” understanding of the issue, students will need to convincingly motivate opinion through reasonable justifications and use of relevant everyday examples or experiences. It will important for students to display “own voice” in their discussion. This means students need to draw inspiration from facts and the ideas of others but still produce a discussion that clearly shows a depth of personal understanding.


When writing your exam, it is imperative that you carefully read through all sources provided. Ensure you fully understand what each question is asking before committing to a response. Consult the rubric where possible. This section of the CAT will be externally marked.

Students who do not write CAT Part B on the 8 June will need to submit a valid medical certificate to the IEB before they will be allowed to write the supplementary paper on 16 September 2016.
