Past papers by province

Where to download past papers free
Free, with no sign up
Click a paper and it downloads. No account, no email address, no waiting page, no limit on how many you take.
The memo beside the paper
Every memo the department released sits on the same row as its paper. Where none was published, the page says so instead of leaving you searching.
Four departments in one place
The national papers plus Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and North West, so a sitting you cannot find nationally may still be here provincially.
The original file
What you download is the PDF the department published. Nothing is rewritten, repackaged or put behind a preview.
How to actually use a past paper
Downloading papers is not studying. The gain comes from writing one under exam conditions, then marking it honestly against the memo.
Give yourself the real time limit and no notes. Mark it yourself, awarding the marks the marker would rather than the ones you meant to earn. Then list the questions you lost marks on and find the topic behind each. That list is your revision plan, and it is worth more than the next three papers you download.
Work backwards from the most recent sitting. Papers written in the last three years reflect the current examiners and the way they ask things.
