Re: Hey Admin

Hi,
I am sorry, I do not have the answers to your questions.

This community was set up to support exam candidates sitting the CXC CSEC exams, not the CAPE exams. As a result, we do not source, collect or post information on the CAPE exams.

Maybe someone else in the community will see your post, have the answers and post them as well.

You never know...

Human & Social Biology

I sat this exam some years ago but failed to pass; I promised myself that I would sit it again, only this time I hope to pass with a grade A1. Today having my family its a bit complicated, never-the-less, if I could get some help to do this subject as an online course at home; then I know I will do very well.
Thank you.
