Question 1

Where can I download Grade 10 English First Additional Language past papers and memos?

Accepted Answer

On this page. There are 6 Grade 10 English First Additional Language past papers here, from 2017 to 2024, and they come with their memos. Every one is a free PDF and none of them ask you to sign up.

Question 2

Do the papers come with memos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The memo, which is the marking guideline the examiners use, sits on the same row as the paper it belongs to, so you download the two together rather than hunting for them separately.

Question 3

Which provinces are these English First Additional Language papers from?

Accepted Answer

The Eastern Cape, Gauteng and North West. We only publish papers that an education department published first, so provinces that do not put their papers online are not here. If you cannot find your province, a national paper is set to the same CAPS curriculum and is just as good to practise on.

Question 4

Which term are these English First Additional Language papers from?

Accepted Answer

Every term the department published one for. Term 4 is the November exams, Term 2 is the May/June exams. Each paper in the list is labelled both ways, so it does not matter whether your school talks in terms or in months.

Question 5

Are these IEB papers?

Accepted Answer

No. These are NSC papers, set by the Department of Basic Education and the provinces for the government curriculum, CAPS. If you are at an IEB school the content overlaps a great deal, but the papers are set separately and are not on this page.

Question 6

Which paper should I start with?

Accepted Answer

The newest one. Start with 2024 and work backwards. The examiners who set the most recent papers are the ones setting yours, and how they word a question matters as much as what it is about.
