4. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This memorandum serves to outline the nature of the pilot study pertains
to the format of the examination material for Mathematics P2 and Technical
Mathematics P2.
1.2 In striving to remain at the forefront of innovation and improvement, the
Directorate: Examinations Management has embarked on a significant
development strategy regarding the format of the forthcoming Preparatory
Examinations for Mathematics Paper 2 and Technical Mathematics Paper
2. As part of this pilot study, we have integrated the question paper with the
answer book into a single document for each of these subjects. This initiative
aims to enhance the examination process by providing a more streamlined and
cohesive assessment environment for our candidates.
2. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
2.1. Pilot Study Implementation: The combined format will be exclusively used for
the Preparatory Examinations 2024 and ONLY for MATHEMATICS PAPER
2. AND TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS PAPER 2. This pilot study will enable us
to assess the effectiveness of this approach and identify necessary
adjustments prior to any potential wider implementation.
2.2 NSC Examinations - OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2024: Please note that the
National Senior Certificate (NSC) Examinations in October/November 2024
NOT adopt this combined format. The traditional format of a separate question
paper and answer book will prevail for the final examination.
2.3 Feedback and Evaluation: Your feedback is crucial for the continued success
of this pilot project. We urge principals/chief invigilators and district managers
to provide their observations and comments on this new format through the
designated reporting channels. Your insights and feedback will be invaluable in
evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach. Please use the
following link to submit your evaluation of the new format.
