2015 National Senior Certificate Examination Diagnostic Report

The 2015 National Senior Certificate Examination Diagnostic Report. "This report is a comprehensive analysis of candidates’ performance in the second National Senior Certificate examinations based on the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS)."

"In this document, a detailed per-question analysis of learners’ responses is provided for each of the 11 subjects: Accounting, Agricultural Sciences, Business Studies, Economics, English First Additional Language, Geography, History, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy and Physical Sciences. Analysis conducted provides a clear indication of the weaknesses in learner responses in the different subjects. Uncovering misconceptions or error patterns in the learner responses can directly inform instructional practice. In response to the weaknesses identified, the report goes on to suggest remedial measures that should be adopted at school level, allowing teachers to review and refine their teaching strategies accordingly."
