Using a Grade 7 paper well
Grade 7 papers ask for more writing than Grade 6 ones, and that is where most of the marks move.
- Watch the writing question, not the grammar section. Grammar marks are usually held; writing marks are usually lost. If time is short, practise the writing.
- Insist on planning, even for a short answer. Two or three words of plan before a paragraph is the habit that separates a Grade 7 writer from a Grade 10 one, and it is far easier to build now.
- Use a paper from a different province once the local ones feel familiar. The syllabus is the same; the phrasing is not, and meeting an unfamiliar wording in practice is better than meeting it in an examination.
- Keep the marking schemes. There are two here. Marking a paper against a real scheme, rather than a guess, is what makes practice honest.
Who set these papers
These papers were set by provincial departments of education, zonal and divisional offices, and schools. The body printed on each paper is recorded on its card. RCF English did not create any of them and does not claim to.
Papers produced by private institutes, academies, tuition classes and publishers are deliberately not listed. Read the Copyright and Resource Policy.
