Preparing for your Sepedi FAL P1 exam

Read Sepedi newspapers, listen to Sepedi radio, and engage in conversations. Practice summary writing, answering comprehension questions, and tackling the visual literacy section. Your vocabulary needs to be sharp, and your grammar on point. Go through past papers like your life depends on it; they are gold mines for understanding the exam structure and common question types. Ask your teachers questions, even the ones you think are silly. It’s better to ask now than to be confused in the exam hall. Remember, consistency is key. Just a little bit of study every day adds up to a lot of knowledge. If you’re looking to download the full exam schedule to keep track of all your papers, here’s a super helpful link:

On the day of the exam: What to expect and how to behave

The exam day itself can be a bit nerve-wracking, but with proper preparation, you’ll feel more confident. First things first, arrive early! Aim to be at the exam venue at least 30 to 45 minutes before 09:00. This gives you time to find your seat, settle down, and calm your nerves without rushing. No need for last-minute panics. When you enter the exam hall, remember to be respectful and quiet. Follow the invigilator’s instructions carefully. These people are there to ensure a fair process for everyone. During the exam, focus on your paper. Don’t look around, don’t talk, and certainly do not try to communicate with other students. Any form of cheating can lead to serious consequences, including disqualification, and we don’t want that for you. Read every question twice before answering. Manage your time wisely, allocating enough time for each section.

Things to bring to your Sepedi FAL P1 exam

Preparing what to take with you is simple, but often overlooked. For your Sepedi FAL P1 paper, you mainly need writing essentials. Make sure your pencil case is packed with these:

• Your valid matric exam admission letter or statement of entry. No entry without it!
• Your original South African Identity Document (ID) or a valid passport if you are not a South African citizen.
• At least two black or blue ballpoint pens. Make sure they are working well; you don’t want a pen running out mid-sentence!
• A pencil, in case you need to draw or shade anything, though for Sepedi FAL P1, it’s primarily writing.
• An eraser, just in case you make a mistake with your pencil.
• A clear pencil bag. Most exam centres require see-through stationery bags.
• A clear bottle of water. Staying hydrated is important for your concentration, but make sure the bottle has no labels or writing.

Leave all electronic devices, notes, and any other unauthorised materials at home or outside the exam hall. Phones should be switched off and left in your bag, far away from your person. Don’t risk it!

Keeping track of your dates

Look, with so many exams, it’s easy to get confused. Beyond circling the date, put it on your calendar, set multiple alarms on your phone, and ask your family to remind you. Stick a post-it note on your study desk or on your mirror. Make it impossible to forget. Knowing your dates and times reduces stress and helps you plan your revision schedule effectively. “Mosadi o moseka-sela o itshepeletsa kgoši,” which means a woman who knows her path, is confident in front of the chief. Knowing your exam dates is knowing your path!

So there you have it, baithuti. You have the date, the time, and some solid advice to help you prepare for your Sepedi FAL P1 exam. Remember, you’ve worked hard to get here. Trust in your preparation, stay calm, and give it your absolute best. Re tshepile wena! You’ve got this!
