Exam Tips
We recommend that teachers and students familiarise themselves with the examination paper and its format by studying past examination papers. Additional suggestions appear below:
| Materials |
| Bring all necessary materials with you to the examination hall (for example, drawing pencils, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a rubber, a sharpener and a pen). |
| Instructions |
- Read the instructions. For example:
Answer Task 1 (Common Core)
Answer only one of the Task 2 (Making) focus area questions. |
| Question Types |
| Several types of questions are asked regularly in the examination. We advise teachers to highlight to students the different types of questions they may encounter in the examination. |
| Tips on Sketching |
- Students can improve their standard of sketching by showing detail. Basic line drawings cause students to lose marks.
- Use colour when sketching on the examination paper.
- When answering the Evaluation section at the end of the paper, try to produce sketches that demonstrate creative improvements and show evidence of personal experience.
