On the day, go early

On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, plan to arrive at your examination centre at least 30 to 45 minutes before 09:00. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a golden rule! Arriving early gives you ample time to locate your exam room, find your seat, settle your nerves, and take a moment to breathe. Imagine traffic, a flat tyre, or even just a longer-than-expected walk – these things happen. Being early means these little hiccups won’t turn into a full-blown crisis. You want to walk into that room feeling calm and ready, not rushed and flustered.

What to carry for your Sepedi paper

When you head off to your Sepedi SAL P3 exam, make sure you have everything you need. Here’s a little checklist to help you:

• Your trusty blue or black pens. Make sure they are in good working order, perhaps even pack a spare or two. You don’t want to be caught out by a dry pen!
• Your official ID document. This is non-negotiable; you absolutely must have this with you. No ID, no exam, oho!
• Your examination admission letter. This has your candidate number and all the important details specific to you.
• A clear, transparent plastic bag or pencil case. Exam rules are strict about what you can bring in, so keep it clear and simple.
• A bottle of water, with no label, if you wish. Staying hydrated helps with concentration.
• A non-programmable analogue watch (not a smartwatch!) can be useful to help you manage your time, although invigilators will announce time intervals.

Behaviour in the exam room

Once you’re in the exam room, remember that discipline is key. The room must be silent. Listen carefully to all instructions given by the invigilators. Do not talk to other candidates, whisper, or try to communicate in any way. Cheating is a serious offence with severe consequences, so just focus on your own paper. If you have a question or need something, raise your hand and wait for an invigilator to assist you. Manage your time wisely, read all questions carefully, and answer to the best of your ability. Remain calm and respect the exam environment.

Keeping track of the date, oho!

With so many subjects and dates, it’s easy to get mixed up. To make sure you don’t forget the Sepedi SAL P3 exam on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, pin up a copy of your full timetable somewhere you see it daily – maybe on your bedroom door, above your study desk, or even as your phone wallpaper. Tell your family members so they can give you a gentle reminder. Set multiple alarms on your phone or use a physical calendar to mark the date clearly. Consistency in reminders will cement the date in your mind.

You can do it, mfundi!

We know this journey can be tough, but you’ve come so far. Believe in your abilities and the hard work you’ve put in. The Sepedi SAL P3 exam is another hurdle you will clear with confidence. Stay focused, stay calm, and remember all the practice you’ve done. You’re ready for this. All the best, and re tla go bona mo dikolong tša godimo!
