SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines
INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS
1. Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.
2. These marking guidelines serve as a guide to markers. Some responses may
require a marker's discretion, while others may be expanded at the national
marking guideline discussion.
3. Candidates' responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.
MARKING THE COMPREHENSION
Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in
responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the
meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)
If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.
However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
answer, this will be acceptable.
For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or
I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be
considered.
When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/ highlighted.
When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
two/three.
Accept dialectal variations.
For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the
correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.
