Eastern Cape past paper questions

Where can I get Eastern Cape past papers?

On this page. There are 1186 Eastern Cape papers here, 2013 to 2026, free to download as PDFs with their memos. They were set by the Eastern Cape Department of Education for the schools it runs.

Where do I find Eastern Cape papers for my subject?

The list above shows every subject we hold Eastern Cape papers for and how many there are. Tap a subject to open its full archive, which carries the Eastern Cape papers alongside the national ones and the other provinces, so you can work through more than one version of the same paper.

Which exams does Eastern Cape set?

The ones here are November (Term 4), May/June (Term 2), Feb/March (Term 1), September (Term 3). A province sets the papers its own schools write through the year, including the September preparatory exams that Grade 12 writes as a rehearsal for the finals.

Can I use Eastern Cape papers if I am in another province?

Yes. Every province teaches the same CAPS curriculum and every matric writes the same national paper in November, so a Eastern Cape paper tests the same content yours will. It is worth writing whichever papers you can get, and we do not hold papers for every province because not every department publishes them online.
