And please, do not forget the time, mwana wanga. The exam will start promptly at 09:00. This date needs to be circled on every calendar, every planner, and maybe even set as a reminder on your phone! It’s not just a date, it’s a milestone.

Getting ready for Tshivenda Home Language Paper 1

Preparation, my dear students, is the mother of all success. You can’t just rock up on the day and hope for the best, especially with a language paper. Tshivenda HL P1 needs you to understand literature, language structures, and writing skills like no other. Start by going through your syllabus again, chapter by chapter. Practice those comprehension passages, summarise essays, and work on your grammar. Use past papers as your best friend; they show you what to expect and where you might need to focus more of your energy. Don’t wait until the last minute, that’s just asking for trouble, vho-matric.

The day before the exam

The day before, make sure everything is ready. Lay out your clothes, pack your bag, and, most importantly, get a good night’s sleep. No cramming until 2 AM; that will just make you tired and stressed. Your brain needs to be fresh and ready to go. Maybe read a little something light in Tshivenda, but don’t try to learn anything new. Relax, trust your preparation, and remember all the hard work you’ve put in.

Arriving at the exam hall

On the exam day itself, punctuality is key. Aim to arrive at the exam venue at least 30 to 45 minutes before the 09:00 start time. This gives you ample time to find your seat, settle down, take a few deep breaths, and mentally prepare without feeling rushed. Being early reduces stress and helps you focus. There will be invigilators to guide you, so just follow their instructions calmly.

What to take with you for Tshivenda HL P1

Listen carefully, this is a very important list for your Tshivenda HL P1 exam. Make sure you have all of these things:

• Your official ID document or birth certificate. No ID, no entry, so this is non-negotiable.
• Your official statement of entry with your student number clearly visible.
• Several black or blue ballpoint pens. No pencils for writing your answers, only for rough work if allowed.
• A clear pencil case. This is crucial for invigilators to see everything inside.
• A clear ruler.
• A watch (non-smartwatch) to keep track of your time.
• Maybe a small, clear bottle of water to stay hydrated.
• Your brain, fully charged and ready to go!

Remember, no cell phones, smartwatches, or any unauthorised electronic devices are allowed in the exam venue. Leave them at home or switch them off and put them in your bag as instructed by the invigilators.

Your conduct during the exam

Once you are in the exam hall, the rules are very strict. Listen to all instructions from the invigilators. Read your question paper carefully, twice if you need to. Manage your time wisely, allocating enough time for each section. Do not talk to other candidates, do not look at other candidates’ papers, and absolutely do not attempt to cheat. Academic honesty is paramount, and any attempt to cheat will have serious consequences. Focus on your paper, your answers, and trust in your own abilities.

Reminding yourself of the date

To avoid any last-minute panic or forgetting the date, use multiple reminders. Write it on a whiteboard, put a sticky note on your study desk, set multiple alarms on your phone leading up to November 5th. Tell your parents or guardians the date so they can also help you remember. Make it impossible to forget that Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 09:00, is your date with destiny for Tshivenda HL P1.

Final words of encouragement

You have worked incredibly hard to reach this point. This exam is a chance to show off everything you’ve learned. Approach it with confidence, calmness, and all the wisdom you’ve gathered. We believe in you, vho-matric. Go out there and make us proud. All the best with your Tshivenda Home Language Paper 1!
