“Die oom se kursus” …

Posted on by Admin

Vra Prof. Albert Weideman vir ‘n leerder van Montana:

“Nou hoe beland jy hier op die Oos-Moot Hoërskool se Akademiese geletterdheidswerkswinkel?”

Oom, my niggie sê al haar maats het destyds beter as sy gevaar op die NBT-toetse. Toe sy vra nou hoekom verskil die punte so, het haar maats gesê dis oor hulle daai oom se werkswinkel bygewoon het. So my niggie se raad was: vind die oom, en woon sy kursus by! Dis hoekom ek nou hier is. 🙂

Ons vertrou dat dit goed sal gaan met vanjaar se AKG-toets. Sterkte!

Ons help jou om daar te kom

It’s not about the NBT’s! It’s about being prepared for university

Posted on by Albert Weideman

Our Grade 12’s deserve to reach university prepared

“It seems to me,” the mother of a Grade 12 recently wrote to me, “that tertiary institutions no longer expect children to take the NBT’s (for MANY of the programmes)”.

“Is it true?” she asks.

The book really helped and showed how they [the NBTs] would ask questions, so I knew what to expect, especially after doing all five of the tests. I think that everyone should do some work to prepare as it is a test unlike any normal test at school.

Slim Lindeniete nou nog slimmer

Posted on by Admin

‘n Klompie vriendelike matrieks het vandag in die saal van die Hoërskool Linden vergader om voor te berei vir die akademiese en kwantitatiewe geletterdheidskomponent van die Nasionale Normtoetse. Hierdie toetse, beter bekend as die NBT’s of National Benchmark Tests, word toenemend deel van universiteitstoelatingsveresistes. En Lindeniete vat nie kanse nie — as so ‘n toets geskryf moet word, wil hulle weet wat om te verwag. Dit was ‘n kwessie van: “Wys ons die hekkie en ons spring oor hom”.
