GEORGE NUUS - Baie matrieks het 'n druk eksamenrooster vir die finale eksamen wat verlede week begin het.
Vanjaar se klas moes ook stoei met die uitdagings wat die Covid-19-inperkings sedert verlede jaar meegebring het, maar drie leerders met wie George Herald gesels het, bly dapper en moedig te midde van die spanning.
Hulle het gister Rekeningkunde geskryf en vertel hoe hulle dit ervaar het.
Die eksamen maak in die eerste week van Desember klaar.
Amy Wessels van Hoërskool Outeniqua: "Vanoggend se vraestel was makliker as in die rekordeksamen. Ek het klaargekry, waar ek gewoonlik nie kan klaarmaak nie. Ek is positief oor die uitslag. Tot dusver was die hele eindeksamen makliker as die rekordeksamen, net Wiskunde II en Ekonomie I was bietjie moeilik." Amy sê sy leer deur die jaar en dit het haar ook vanjaar gehelp om voorbereid te wees vir die eindeksamen.
David Yon of York High: “The exam went well. They made some slight changes to the structure, but we expected they might. The rest of the paper was very similar to past papers and nothing surprising had been added. There were a few tricky questions as usual, but nothing you couldn’t prepare for. The exam as a whole has been mixed so far. Some exams have been easier than expected and others more difficult. It’s also been really important to plan ahead since one week you may write only two exams, but the next week you write four. I’m just past halfway now and I’m definitely excited to be almost finished.”
Yushra Boumeester van Hoërskool George: “Vandag se vraestel was seker die mees uitdagende wat ek sover geskryf het gedurende die finale eksamen, maar met die hulp van my rekeningkunde-onderwyseres kon ek myself goed voorberei en die vrae na die beste van my vermoë beantwoord. Die finale eksamen het definitief met baie uitdagings gekom, maar ek het besef dat ek met toewyding, konsekwentheid en geloof daardeur kan kom. Daar is geen rede vir my om nou tou op te gooi nie. Ek moet net fokus en myself goed voorberei. Ek vertrou dat die vraestelle wat ek nog moet skryf, goed sal afloop soos dié wat ek reeds agter die rug het.”
Taylor Alberts: "During all the years of studying accounting at school, I always preferred Paper 1. In today's paper the work was asked in a way that one had to apply the knowledge you learnt during the year, which I found at a fair level of difficulty as practice with prior assessments helped me find the work easier. Corporate Governance made up a significant part of the paper compared to past papers and I think that it is important to be included to ensure that the future accountants of SA are enabled with the ability to identify unethical practices with regards to finances. Like Sam Altman once said, 'Hard work compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off'."
