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: Brown/Black
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 relevant answers provided by candidates, which 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 'Sub-max' 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.

Business Studies P2 3 com FS/September 2022
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 the 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.

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 only 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: 1. This applies only to questions where the number of facts is
specified.
2. 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 and refer to the DBE internal
moderator to finalise the alternative answers in consultation with the
UMALUSI external moderators.
14.4 Use of the cognitive verbs and allocation of marks:
14.4.1 If the number of facts are 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).
