THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK FOR CONSUMER STUDIES
FOOD PRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
The 16 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a
practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects
are:
• AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology
• ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts
• SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology
• SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism
• TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical
Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design
A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final
promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component
and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is
implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into
different phases or a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT
allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it
also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format,
e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners
complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that
learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of
the PAT differs from subject to subject.
• During the practical assessment task the learner must demonstrate his/her
knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce a variety of quality food
products focusing on suitability for selling.
• The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies for Grade 12 consists of
two practical examinations of 3 hours each. Learners perform these practical
examinations individually.
o Term 2: Practical examination 1
Learners will make and present products selected for the micro-enterprise
for the project in term 1.
o Term 3: Practical examination 2
Learners will produce a variety of food products for selling, using a variety
of skills and techniques.
Learners will perform the practical examinations individually.
2. MARK ALLOCATION
• Each exam consists of 100 marks. The mark for the final practical assessment
task is obtained by combining the marks for the two examinations as indicated
below:
Practical examination 1: term 2 100
Practical examination 2: term 3 100
Total 200 ÷ 2
Final mark for PAT 100
• The marks for the PAT are part of the end-of-the-year assessment.
• The province will provide two separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA
and one for the PAT. Both mark sheets must be signed by the teacher, principal
and moderator.

3. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS
Consumer Studies is a choice subject with five different practical options. If the
school chooses to offer Consumer Studies as a subject and selects the Food
Production practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT,
as well as the specified number of practical lessons are the responsibility of the
school, as specified in the CAPS document.
Ensure the following:
• A suitable training kitchen with the necessary equipment must be available:
a minimum of six stoves (gas/electric); a refrigerator; electricity/gas; sinks with
running hot and cold water and equipment and utensils for preparation and
cooking.
• A minimum of R30 to a maximum of R75 per learner for EACH of the two
practical examinations is required to purchase ingredients to make the required
products, besides the funding required for the SBA practical lessons.
• Divide the learners into groups of a maximum of 12. Twenty-four learners (two
groups of 12 learners) can perform the examination on the same day, e.g. from
08:00 to 11:00 and from 12:00 to 15:00.
• The teacher needs time between the two sessions to prepare the classroom for
the following group.
• Schools with large numbers of learners will need more than one day to complete
this examination.
4. REQUIRED TIMEFRAME
A timeframe of THREE hours in total is required per examination. The 3 hours should
be allocated as follows:
• 15 minutes for learners to draw their tests, to settle down at the work stations
allocated to them and to study the recipes and the sequence of work received.
Learners may also start collecting ingredients and equipment during this time.
• 2 hours for the preparation of the products under examination conditions.
• 45 minutes for the teacher to do evaluation, check the work stations of the
learners and complete the mark sheets.
5. SETTING THE EXAMINATIONS
5.1 Practical examination 1 (term 2)
• This practical examination must be slotted into the test and
examination timetable in the second term.
• Learners will make the products they chose for their micro-
enterprises (project term 1). The production process and saleability
of the products form an important aspect of this examination.
5.2 Practical examination 2 (term 3)
• This examination will take place on a date agreed upon with the
moderator.
• During the practical examination in term 3 learners must
demonstrate a variety of culinary skills. Assessment will focus on the
production process and the saleability of the products.
• The teacher must set a minimum of FOUR different tests that are
suitable for the available budget and other resources of the school.

• Each test must:
o Have at least two products
o Have a minimum skills-code weighting of 20 points
o Include a variety of culinary skills and techniques
• Include ONE of the following PER TEST. A product selected for one
test may not be repeated in another to ensure that a variety of skills
and techniques are tested in each test.
o Yeast product (baked or deep-fried)
o Choux pastry
o A gelatine dish (not commercial jelly)
o Home-made short crust pastry for tarts, pies or quiche
o Swiss roll

as long as the total skills-code weighting adds up to a minimum of
20 points. The weighting of the two products will be equal or as
equal as possible.
• All recipes must:
o Be neatly typed in standard or action format
o Have clear instructions in short sentences and easy language
o Be small, 2–3 portions
o Be suitable for the available budget and other resources of the
school
o Be suitable for selling
o Include the expected taste, texture and appearance (desirable
qualities) of each product

6. PREPARING FOR THE EXAMINATION
The teacher is responsible for the following:
• Set the dates for both examinations. Communicate these dates to the SMT of
the school to ensure that these dates do not clash with other school activities. It
should be slotted into the school timetable for tests/examinations.
• All the equipment must be in working order and the stoves have to be serviced
and repaired before the start of the practical examinations.
• Photocopy the tests (recipes and work order) for the learners.
• Prepare mark sheets with the learners' names and their examination numbers.
• Provide the learners with all the recipes included in the four tests (not in test
format) one week (7 school days) before the date of the examination of the
first group of learners so that they can prepare. They should not know how the
recipes will be combined in test format, nor should they know which recipes they
will draw.
• Calculate the quantities to be purchased according to the number of learners in
Grade 12.
• Plan the final shopping list with the estimated prices.
• Purchase the ingredients.
• Clean and tidy up the training kitchen.
• Put out the necessary equipment and ingredients. Learners should not run
around during the examination looking for equipment in the storeroom, all
equipment must be readily available at their work stations. Set up an ingredient
table and an equipment table (if needed) for each session.

9. MODERATION OF THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATION
9.1 BEFORE practical examination 1
The teacher must submit the following to the subject advisor for approval
during the last week of term 1 or earlier:
o The tests and relevant recipes indicating the weighting of the
techniques according to the skills code
o The proposed date for external on-site moderation for the last
group of learners
This date should be negotiated with the subject advisor
o The sequence of work of each test
o The memorandum with the desirable qualities of each product for
each test
o The planning for the purchases
o A draft budget and the estimate cost per learner (must be
available on request)
o The checklist signed by the principal
The examination cannot take place unless the subject advisor has
approved the items above.
9.2 ON THE DAY of practical examination 2
• During term 3 the last group of a maximum of 12 learners will be
externally moderated by the relevant subject advisor while they are
performing the practical examination at the school.
• The teacher must have the following available for the moderator on
the day of moderation:
o The marks of all the learners for PAT 1 in term 2
o The marks of all the learners who finished PAT 2 in term 3
o A copy of the completed mark sheet for practical lessons
o A copy of the four tests the learners will be performing
o A separate set of assessment tools for the moderator to use, with
the names and examination numbers of the learners already
written on the mark sheet
• The moderator will select six candidates from the last group at
random and assess the learners independently while they are
performing the examination.
• Afterwards the moderator will compare his/her assessment with the
assessment of the teacher. If the moderator finds that the marks of
the teacher differ more than 10% from his/her marks, a block
adjustment upwards or downwards should be made based on the
difference.
• The computerised mark sheet must be completed on the day of
moderation.

Learner's Name *T *M
Learner A 84 69
Learner B 83 70
Learner C 68 53
Learner D 59 44
Learner E 49 40
Learner F 45 40
TOTAL 388 316
AVERAGE MARK = TOTAL ÷ 6 (number of learners) 66 53
DIFFERENCE = 66 (*T) – 53 (*M) 13
ADJUSTMENT DOWNWARDS UPWARDS –3
*T = Teacher; *M = Moderator
• A block adjustment can also be made based on the professional judgement of
the moderator, if the practical examination of the school is not of the expected
standard.
• The moderator will discuss the outcome and any adjustments with the teacher.
The final moderated marks should then be entered on the computerised mark
sheet.
• The marks of all learners will be affected if an adjustment is made.
• The marks of all the learners need to be finalised and signed by the subject
advisor and principal on the day of this examination. The computerised mark
sheet must be completed on the day of moderation.
