Social Science examination tips
•• An examination is written during a very short period of time, which is used to assess what one has been
doing for the past 7 years. What you do in less than 2 hours of each paper is used to tell the quality of
work you have been doing for the past years. Give the exam the seriousness and concentration which
it deserves.
•• This is a 7 year course, hence, the questions are not concentrated on grade 7 work only. Revise all the
concepts of the previous grades. There are concepts which are only found in lower grades and so be
careful not to miss them.
•• The subjects that make up this paper are full of content questions which need the candidate’s wide
readership. It should be more of the learner’s effort than the facilitator’s if one is to pass the examination
well. Have enough information with which to face the examination.
•• Be careful of favouring some topics at the expense of others, which you may dislike.
•• There is need for a good grasp of concepts and content to avoid mixing them up and confusing them.
This usually happens with the definition of terms.
•• Remember paper one answers comprise of destructors and obstructers which means that all the given
answers will be having something to do with the question. If not certain, all answers become possible
answers. Make sure you know.
•• Approach every question as a new and separate question. At times examiners bring back old questions
but with a new twist, which you may miss if, you rush through to answer it.
•• In paper two, make your answers very short so that they fit in the provided spaces. Do not copy the
question or make your answer unnecessarily long.
•• Make sure you understand what is needed and you give just that.
•• The value of marks allocated usually tell you the number of items needed for the answer. If two marks
are allocated, make sure your answer is worthy only two marks.
•• Avoid debatable answers or some which may require a further verbal clarification since you will not
be there to give justification. Your answer should not in any way give the marker room to have queries
or doubts over it.
•• When you are about to choose an answer remember to assess the question wholly, including all the part
questions associated with it. Do not answer a question just because you know a part or just two parts
out five parts of the entire question.
•• Link the same topics with those of other subjects or compress them in order to lessen workload and
incorporate what you have learnt from other subject areas, like ICT and Agriculture. Do not take them
as divorced from each other because, in most cases the topics link up with each other.
•• There are things that may be having several names, be careful to know all of them. The examiner may
use the unfamiliar term to craft his or her question and you are expected to be familiar with it.
