What a Grade 11 Mathematics diagnostic is

Exam Diagnostics ZA is a South African service that marks a full Grade 10–12 mock exam paper mark by mark and reports every lost mark, with a strategy report and a video walkthrough, within 24 hours. A Grade 11 Mathematics diagnostic is that service applied to one paper: your child writes it at home on the clock, sends photographs of the pages, and you get a mark with the reason behind every lost mark beside it.

The mark sits still. Your child studies, redoes exercises, and comes back with the same number. Mathematics is the subject where a pupil can know most of the paper and still lose a third of it.

Why Grade 11 is the year to do it

Many South African universities open applications during Grade 11 and make provisional offers on Grade 11 final marks. That makes this the year with the shortest gap between a mark and a consequence, and the year where a technique problem is most expensive to leave undiagnosed.

  • Term 1 or early Term 2, while there is still a full year to change how your child writes.
  • August or September, before the finals that carry the provisional offers.
  • December, to start Grade 12 knowing exactly which marks are within reach.

What the Grade 11 Mathematics papers cover

Paper 1 covers algebra, functions, finance and calculus. Paper 2 covers geometry, trigonometry and statistics. You pick one when you order. Grade 12 papers run to 150 marks in 3 hours; Grades 10 and 11 follow the same shape over less content.

PaperFocusMain topics
Paper 1 Algebra, functions, finance and calculus. Algebra, equations and inequalities; Number patterns and sequences; Functions and graphs; Finance, growth and decay; Differential calculus; Probability
Paper 2 Geometry, trigonometry and statistics. Statistics and regression; Analytical geometry; Trigonometry, including 2D and 3D problems; Euclidean geometry and the circle theorems; Measurement

CAPS or IEB. The IEB examines the same curriculum but tends to set longer, context-led questions, so reading carefully and choosing an order of attack matter more.

Where the marks go in Grade 11 Mathematics

Every lost mark is sorted into one of five reasons. Two of them — accuracy and not written down — mean the method was right and the mark was already in reach. Those are the marks a report can hand back before the next paper.

  • Accuracy. A sign dropped in line two carries through to an answer marked wrong, even though everything after the slip was right.
  • Not written down. The answer appears without the working that earns the method marks, or the last question is left half-finished because the clock ran out.
  • Wrong method. A question is answered with a method that cannot reach the answer, usually because it looks like a question from another topic.
Every lost mark is sorted into one of five reasons.
ReasonWhat it meansRecoverable?
Wrong method The route chosen could not reach the answer. No — this is a gap to teach
Accuracy The method was right; the arithmetic slipped. Yes — the method was right
Not written down The working stopped before the mark was earned. Yes — the method was right
Misread A value or instruction was taken off the paper wrongly. No — this is a gap to teach
Didn’t remember A formula or definition was not recalled in the moment. No — this is a gap to teach

How it works

You buy the paper, your child scans a code and writes it in 3 timed hours at home, then photographs the pages and sends them in. Marks come back in 1 hour and the full report in 24, by email and WhatsApp.

  1. Pick a deal Mark Recovery: the whole subject.
  2. Scan the code, write timed The exam app clocks every question.
  3. Send it in Marks in 1 hour. The full report in 24.
  4. Fuelled by the insights A follow-up exam built from his report. Included.
  5. Where it leads One diagnostic at a time.

There are no set dates. Your child needs a calculator, a quiet room and a phone. The full process is on how it works .

What the report shows

Eight pages, built around one question: which of these marks were already within reach? You get the mark and the mark in reach, why each mark was lost, the recoverable marks question by question, the concepts behind them, and a video walkthrough of what to fix first.

  • The mark, and the mark in reach

What it costs

A single paper is R299. Mark Recovery, both papers of a subject and a follow-up paper, is R749. Finals Ready, three subjects, is R1,990. A printed copy couriered to you is R250 once per order. If a paper turns up fewer than 10 recoverable marks, it is refunded.

Worth: the same papers and follow-ups bought one by one.

Questions parents ask

When should a Grade 11 pupil write a Mathematics diagnostic?

Term 1 or early Term 2, while there is still a full year to change how your child writes. There is no fixed date — the paper is available within 24 hours of payment and your child writes when it suits you.

Is this a real Grade 11 paper?

It is a full paper set for Grade 11 Mathematics in your chosen curriculum, written under exam conditions: 3 timed hours, closed book, no help. If your child uses notes the report will be wrong, because it measures what happens in an exam.

What if the problem is that my child does not know the work?

The report says so. Marks lost to wrong method, misreads and forgotten definitions are gaps to teach, not marks to recover. Where the gaps are knowledge rather than exam technique, we recommend tutors who work from the report.

Can I order for more than one child?

Yes. One order can carry several children, each with their own grade and papers, and the volume discount applies across the whole order.
