The Prelim Formula Maintenance Add-on ensures that the Term 3 Grade 12 Preliminary Examination is correctly categorised and calculated within the School-Based Assessment (SBA) structure in the d6 system. This ensures the Prelim Exam is included under the correct weighting and assessment logic, in line with CAPS requirements.
This add-on is strictly limited to Grade 12 learners and applies only to the Term 3 Preliminary Examination. It does not affect other grades or general assessment components.
When your school is on this plan, the OSM team will assist with:
