Free AVBOB STEP 12 exam guides now available to help Matrics
Great news for matrics across South Africa as they gear up for their pivotal preliminary examinations! AVBOB has just released the latest edition of its acclaimed STEP 12 Examination Preparation Guides online.
What is AVBOB STEP 12?
Launched in 2022, this ground-breaking educational programme aims to enhance Grade 12 learners' exam readiness across all 11 official written languages, covering each of the three language exam papers, for both Home Language and First Additional Language.
Unlike conventional study guides, AVBOB STEP 12 zeroes in on exam preparation, ensuring learners understand exactly how to approach exam questions effectively. The guides demystify mark allocation; teach essential time-management strategies; and empower learners to select questions as well as plan and structure answers with confidence. Through example questions and model answers, they help learners develop the skills they need to tackle exams successfully.
What's more, they are completely FREE.
What is new in the 2025 edition?
The guides have undergone refinements and additions based on valuable input from the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and frontline educators, who continue to highlight the impact of the initiative.
'We consistently hear from both teachers and learners about how beneficial these guides are. It inspires us to keep innovating and enhancing our content,' says Dr Adriaan Coetser, Subject Advisor-in-Chief for AVBOB STEP 12, adding that updates are driven by ongoing Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) alignment and constructive feedback. 'Each year's additions and updates mean better, more comprehensive examination preparation guides to help our matrics achieve their dreams.'
Key updates for 2025 include additional examples in critical sections across the suite of guides as well as more detailed answer and essay planning guidance, enriched content on language aspects, additional examples in the glossary of literary terms, and deeper insights into creative writing (with a newly added section containing example topics).
How can you support AVBOB STEP 12?
It's crucial to ensure that every Grade 12 learner, teacher and parent nationwide benefits from this vital resource. The transformative potential of public-private partnerships like this in education should not be underestimated. It is up to all of us to share the message that these guides are out there and cost nothing.
We encourage everyone to download, use and distribute them freely.
Looking ahead, AVBOB hopes to see similar collaborations emerging to support matrics across subjects beyond languages.

Term 3: When are the next school holidays?
After nearly a month of school holidays, learners across South Africa are set to return to school tomorrow, 22 July, as Term 3 of the 2025 academic year kicks off. With holidays winding down, families are shifting gears from rest to routine, and many are asking: How long is Term 3, and what should we expect? But also, when are the next school holidays? South Africa's Department of Basic Education has confirmed that Term 3 will run from 22 July to 3 October. That gives learners just over 10 weeks of classroom time, roughly 53 school days, depending on the province and individual school schedules. To put it in context, here's a breakdown of the 2025 public school calendar showcasing when reopen and close again for school holidays: Term 1 : 15 January – 28 March : 15 January – 28 March Term 2 : 8 April – 27 June : 8 April – 27 June Term 3 : 22 July – 3 October : 22 July – 3 October Term 4: 13 October – 10 December This means that the next school holiday will kick off from 3 October until 13 October. Learners will get a short break before the final push of the school year. Term 4 starts on 13 October and wraps up on 10 December, leading straight into the end-of-year, summer holidays.
