Dear Parent/Guardian
Re: Gr. 12/Post Gr. 12 National Benchmark Tests (NBT)
Introduced in 2005, the NBTs were commissioned by Higher Education South Africa with the main task of assessing
academic readiness of first year university learners as a supplement to Secondary School reports on learning
achieved in content specific courses. Universities use the Matric certificate results and the NBT results to steer their
placement decisions. The NBTs asses the ability to combine aspects of prior learning and consists of two (2) parts:
Academic and Quantitative Literacy (AQL); 3 hours in the morning and
Mathematics (MAT); 3 hours in the afternoon, on the same day.
Fees, dates, times and venues are available on the NBT website (www.nbt.ac.za).
Gr. 12 learners find the NBT’s (MAT) quite difficult and even the high achievers do not necessarily excel. In the light
of this we will be running a NBT (Mathematics)-preparation session in order to better prepare Gr. 12s for these
unusual tests.
Venue:
Deutsche Internationale Schule Kapstadt
Date:
Tuesday, 7 April, 2015
Cost:
R840/student (2 undermentioned books included)
Website:

11:00
11:30 - 15:45
