On the day, ukufika masinya

On the exam morning, ukufika masinya is crucial. Aim to arrive at the exam venue at least an hour before the scheduled start time of 09:00. This gives you plenty of time to find your allocated seat, settle your nerves, and visit the restroom if needed. It also accounts for any unexpected traffic or delays. There’s nothing worse than rushing into an exam feeling flustered. So, get there early, take a deep breath, and get yourself in the right frame of mind.

What to take with you for isiNdebele FAL P1

For your isiNdebele FAL P1 paper, make sure you have the following essentials with you. Remember, transparent pencil cases are usually required:

• Your official ID document or your official examination admission letter with a photo. No ID, no entry, so don’t forget it!
• Blue or black pens. Make sure they are good quality and have plenty of ink. Carry a few spares, just in case.
• A transparent pencil case. This is standard procedure to ensure fairness for everyone.
• A clear ruler, not strictly for isiNdebele, but it’s good practice to always have one for neatness.
• No cellphones or smartwatches are allowed in the exam hall. Leave them at home or in your bag outside the hall.
• No calculators are needed for isiNdebele FAL P1, so don’t even think of bringing one.
• Water in a transparent bottle is usually permitted, but confirm with your invigilator. Stay hydrated, but make sure the label is removed.

Indlela yokuziphatha – exam hall behaviour

When you are in the exam hall, indlela yokuziphatha kwakho (your behaviour) is very important. Maintain silence throughout the exam. Do not talk to other candidates, whisper, or make any disruptive noises. Listen carefully to all instructions given by the invigilators. If you have a question, raise your hand and wait for an invigilator to come to you. Don’t share any materials with anyone. Cheating, or any form of dishonesty, will lead to serious consequences, including disqualification. Be respectful of the rules and your fellow students. Focus only on your paper.
