This page holds 3 Consumer Studies Grade 12 files for download, free and in PDF. That is 1 question paper and 2 memorandums. They are the February/March 2016 papers, written in Term 1 of the school year. Term 1 is assessed by control tests and the first school-based tasks, so these show the standard expected before the mid-year exam.
Both the Afrikaans and English versions are here, so you can work in the language you write the exam in. Mark your own attempt against the memorandum rather than reading it first: the marks are awarded for method, and the memo shows where each one is given.
