Send us a COS1511 memo — get COS1511 free

We hold 236 questions across 8 papers — and no answers. One memo gives every student the official answers for that paper, and gets you COS1511 free, permanently.

What’s a memo?

The official marking guide for an exam session — the answers the markers used and how marks were allocated. UNISA doesn’t publish them; lecturers, tutors and past students sometimes have one. We verify it before anything is unlocked, and photos of a printed memo are fine.
