MARKING GUIDELINE
MARKS: 300
MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1. Penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not losing marks elsewhere in the
question for that item (no foreign item penalty for misplaced items). No double penalty applied.
2. Penalties for placement or poor presentation (e.g. details) are applied only if the candidate is earning
marks on the figures for that item.
3. Full marks for correct answer. If the answer is incorrect, mark the workings provided.
4. If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as a final figure, allocate the part-mark for the working for that
figure (not the method mark for the answer).
5. Unless otherwise indicated, the positive or negative effect of any figure must be considered to award
the mark. If no + or – sign or bracket is provided, assume that the figure is positive.
6. Where indicated, part-marks may be awarded to differentiate between differing qualities of answers
from candidates.
This memorandum is not for public distribution; as certain items might imply incorrect treatment. The
adjustments made are due to nuances in certain questions
7. Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
8. Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the
answer before awarding the mark.
9. Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct.
NOTE: check operation must be +, -, x, ÷, or per memo
10. In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator and denominator are swapped – this
also applies to ratios.
11. In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is
incorrect at least in part. In such cases, do not award the method mark. Indicate by way of
12. Be aware that some candidates provide valid alternatives beyond the memorandum.
13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.
14. Educators are expected to work through the entire paper and make reasonable adjustments within
the framework of the mark allocation, if necessary.
This marking guideline consists of 14 pages.
