Spokesperson Terence Kahala urged candidates to report any irregularities to the school principal.
"These candidates will be sitting for the examinations at 5 236 examination centres, across the country. The Department of Basic Education has learnt valuable lessons from the previous examinations and is therefore confident in administering this examination, successfully.
"The department is fully aware that the majority of our learners are honest and will comply with these rules so that we eradicate any irregular practice that may rear its head in this examination."
Last year the department conceded that some Grade 12 final exam papers were leaked.
