‘Too many questions and too little time’: Westville Girls High pupils write Accounting Paper 1
Westville Girls’ High matric pupils gave differing views of the 2026 Accounting Paper 1, with time management as a challenge.
Westville Girls High School matric pupils struggled with the Accounting Paper 1, which they described as challenging and time-consuming. Pupil Lia Govender from Pinetown found the exam demanding due to the limited time and varied difficulty of questions. Govender stated that completing all the questions was a rewarding experience and that past year papers helped her address weak areas.
She plans to pursue a career in mechanical engineering, citing the wide range of job opportunities. Fellow student Haley Moodley found the exam difficult, citing poor question wording and time management issues. Moodley, who is still undecided between studying Law or B.Com General, described the year as busy and expressed sadness at nearing the end of her time at Westville Girls' High.
Over 962,000 matric pupils are set to sit for the 2026 National Senior Certificate Examinations, with Mathematics Paper 1 taking place the following day.
