Term 2 Intermediate Phase Resources

This page contains your OPSA Term 2 Intermediate Phase support documents. These documents are CAPS-aligned and are designed to help parents and tutor centres prepare learners in a calm, structured way.

OPSA principle: We assess to learn; we do not learn to assess.

What you will find on this page

  • Term 2 Assessment Programme (per grade): an overview of what will be assessed, how it is structured (MCQ quizzes and practical assignments), and key rules for learners and supervisors.
  • Term 2 CAPS Revision Guide (per grade): a focused revision guide to help you revise core skills and identify gaps before the assessment period.

How to use these resources

  1. Download the Assessment Programme for your grade and read it first. It explains the assessment structure, marks breakdown and what the supervisor may or may not do during assessments.
  2. Use the Revision Guide weekly while you work through Term 2 content. Focus on short, regular revision sessions and use the checklists to track progress.
  3. Revise calmly and honestly. The goal is to confirm what is already mastered and where your child needs extra support—rather than rushing for marks.
  4. Complete and upload end-of-term assessment activities on the OPSA LMS when the assessment window opens, because these are marked and form the basis of the report.

Practical tips for parents and tutors

  • Work in short, consistent sessions—especially in the Intermediate Phase.
  • Use revision activities (reading, writing, basic research, problem-solving and hands-on Maths) to build confidence and skills.
  • If your learner struggles with a section, revise the basics first, then return to the activity.
