Grade 12 Prep. Exam.                   Marking Guidelines

NOTES TO MARKERS

PREAMBLE
The notes to markers are provided for quality assurance purposes to ensure the
following:

(a)   Fairness, consistency and reliability in the standard of marking
(b)   Facilitate the moderation of candidates' scripts at the different levels
(c)   Streamline the marking process considering the broad spectrum of markers
      across the country
(d)   Implement appropriate measures in the teaching, learning and assessment of
      the subject at schools/institutions of learning

1.    For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended:

      Marker:                        Red
      Senior Marker:                 Green
      Deputy Chief Marker:           Black/Blue
      Chief Marker:                  Pink
      Internal Moderator:            Orange
      DBE Moderator:                 Turquoise

2.    Candidates' responses must be in full sentences for SECTIONS B and C.
      However, this would depend on the nature of the question.
3.    A comprehensive marking guideline has been provided but this is by no means
      exhaustive. Due consideration should be given to an answer that is correct but:
         Uses a different expression from that which appears in the marking
          guideline
         Comes from another credible source
         Original
         A different approach is used
      NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer in SECTION A.

4.    Take note of other responses provided by candidates, that are relevant within
      the context of a particular question and allocate marks accordingly. (In cases
      where the answer is unclear or indicates some understanding, part-marks should
      be awarded, for example, one mark instead of the maximum of two marks.)

5.    The word 'Submax' is used to facilitate the allocation of marks within a question
      or sub-question.

6.    The purpose of circling marks (guided by 'max' in the breakdown of marks) on
      the right-hand side is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the marking of
      scripts as well as for calculation and moderation purposes.

Grade 12 Prep. Exam.                      Marking Guidelines

7.    Subtotals to questions must be written in the right-hand margin. Circle the
      subtotals as indicated by the allocation of marks. This must be guided by 'max'
      in the marking guidelines. Only the total for each question should appear in the
      left-hand margin next to the appropriate question number.

8.    In an indirect question, the theory as well as the response must be relevant and
      related to the question.

9.    Correct numbering of answers to questions or sub questions is recommended
      in SECTIONS A and B. However, if the numbering is incorrect, follow the
      sequence of the candidate's responses. Candidates will be penalised if the latter
      is not clear.

10.   No additional credit must be given for repetition of facts. Indicate with an 'R'.

11.   The differentiation between 'evaluate' and 'critically evaluate' can be explained
      as follows:

      11.1    When 'evaluate' is used, candidates are expected to respond in either a
              positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and negative)
              stance, e.g., Positive: 'COIDA eliminates time and costs spent√ on
              lengthy civil court proceedings.'√

      11.2    When 'critically evaluate' is used, candidates are expected to respond in
              either a positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and
              negative) stance. In this instance candidates are also expected to
              support their responses with more depth, e.g., 'COIDA eliminates time
              and costs spent√ on lengthy civil court proceedings√, because the
              employer will not be liable for compensation to the employee for injuries
              sustained during working hours as long as it can be proved that the
              business was not negligent.'√

      NOTE: 1.         The above could apply to 'analyse' as well.
            2.         Note the placing of the tick (√) in the allocation of marks.

12.   The allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question,
      cognitive verb used, mark allocation in the marking guideline and the context of
      each question.
      Cognitive verbs, such as:

      12.1    Advise, name, state, outline, motivate, recommend, suggest, (list not
              exhaustive) do not usually require much depth in candidates' responses.
              Therefore, the mark allocation for each statement/answer appears at the
              end.

Grade 12 Prep. Exam.                   Marking Guidelines

      12.2    Define, describe, explain, discuss, elaborate, distinguish, differentiate,
              compare, tabulate, analyse, evaluate, critically evaluate (list not
              exhaustive) require a greater depth of understanding, application and
              reasoning. Therefore, the marks must be allocated more objectively to
              ensure that assessment is conducted according to established norms so
              that uniformity, consistency and fairness are achieved.

13.   Mark only the FIRST answer where candidates offer more than one answer for
      SECTION B and C questions that require one answer.

14.   SECTION B

      14.1    If for example, FIVE facts are required, mark the candidate's FIRST FIVE
              responses and ignore the rest of the responses. Indicate by drawing a
              line across the unmarked portion.

              NOTE: This applies only to questions where the number of facts is
                     specified.
              The above also applies to responses in SECTION C. (where applicable)

      14.2    If two facts are written in one sentence, award the candidate FULL credit.
              Point 14.1 above still applies.

      14.3    If candidates are required to provide their own examples/views,
              brainstorm this at the marking centre to finalise alternative answers and
              consult with the Internal Moderator at DBE for approval.

      14.4    Use of the cognitive verbs and allocation of marks:

              14.4.1   If the number of facts is specified, questions that require
                       candidates to 'describe/discuss/explain' may be marked as
                       follows:
                          Fact 2 marks (or as indicated in the marking guidelines)
                          Explanation 1 mark (two marks will be allocated in
                           SECTION C)
                       The 'fact' and 'explanation' are given separately in the marking
                       guideline to facilitate mark allocation.

              14.4.2 If the number of facts required is not specified, the allocation of
                     marks must be informed by the nature of the question and the
                     maximum mark allocated in the marking guideline.

      14.5    ONE mark may be awarded for answers that are easy to recall,
              requires one-word answers or is quoted directly from a
              scenario/case study. This applies to SECTIONS B and C in
              particular (where applicable).

Grade 12 Prep. Exam.                     Marking Guidelines

         NOTE: 1. No marks will be awarded for contents repeated
                  from the introduction and conclusion.

                     2. The candidate forfeits marks for layout if the words
                        INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION are not stated.

                     3. No marks will be awarded for layout, if the headings
                        INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION are not
                        supported by an explanation.

         15.3        Indicate insight in the left-hand margin with a symbol e.g. ('L, A, -S
                     and/or O').

         15.4        The breakdown of marks is indicated at the end of the suggested
                     answer/ marking guideline to each question.

          15.5       Mark all relevant facts until the SUBMAX/MAX mark in a subsection
                     has been attained. Write SUBMAX/MAX after maximum marks have
                     been obtained but continue reading for originality ''O''.

          15.6       At the end of each essay indicate the allocation of marks for facts
                     and marks for insight as follows: (L – Layout, A – Analysis, S –
                     Synthesis, O – Originality) as in the table below.

                     CONTENT                      MARKS
                       Facts                     32 (max.)
                         L                           2
                         A                           2
                         S                           2
                        O                            2
                      TOTAL                          40

         15.7        When awarding marks for facts, take note of the submaxima
                     indicated, especially if candidates do not make use of the same
                     subheadings. Remember, headings and subheadings are
                     encouraged and contribute to insight (structuring/logical flow/
                     sequencing) and indicate clarity of thought. (See MARK
                     BREAKDOWN at the end of each question.)

         15.8        If the candidate identifies/interprets the question INCORRECTLY,
                     then he/she may still obtain marks for layout.

         15.9        If a different approach is used by candidates, ensure that the
                     answers are assessed according to the mark allocation/
                     subheadings as indicated in the marking guideline.

Grade 12 Prep. Exam.                    Marking Guidelines

         15.10       15.10.1   Award TWO marks for complete sentences. Award ONE
                               mark for phrases, incomplete sentences and vague
                               answers.

                     15.10.2    With effect from November 2015, the TWO marks will
                                not necessarily appear at the end of each completed
                                sentence. The ticks (√) will be separated and indicated
                                next to each fact, e.g., 'Product development is a growth
                                strategy √, where businesses aim to introduce new
                                products into existing markets.'√
                                This will be informed by the nature and context of the
                                question, as well as the cognitive verb used.

         15.11       With effect from November 2017, the maximum of TWO (2) marks
                     for facts shown as headings in the marking guidelines, will not
                     necessarily apply to each question. This would also depend on the
                     nature of the question.
