MARKING  ALL questions MUST be marked, irrespective of whether it is correct or incorrect  Where the maximum marks have been allocated for a particular question, place an over the remainder of the text to indicate the maximum marks have been achieved.  A clear, neat tick must be used:  o If ONE mark is allocated, ONE tick must be used:  o If TWO marks are allocated, TWO ticks must be used:  o The tick must be placed at the FACT that a mark is being allocated for o Ticks must be kept SMALL, as various layers of moderation may take place  Incorrect answers must be marked with a clear, neat cross:  o Use MORE than one cross across a paragraph/discussion style questions to indicate that all facts have been considered o Do NOT draw a line through an incorrect answer o Do NOT underline the incorrect facts For the following action words, ONE word answers are acceptable: list, name, state, identify For the following action words, a FULL sentence must be written: describe, explain, evaluate, analyse, suggest, differentiate, distinguish, define, discuss, why, how The following action words need to be read within its context to determine whether a ONE- word answer or FULL sentence is required: provide, what, tabulate and give NOTE THE FOLLOWING  If the numbering is incorrect or left out, as long as the sequence of answers to questions is followed candidates can be credited  Spelling errors if recognisable, award the marks provided the meaning is correct.  Be sensitive to the sense of an answer, which may be stated in a different way  In questions where a letter is the accepted response, but the learner writes the actual answer- award marks.  There will be additional guidelines for the marking of certain questions. (*) TOTALLING AND TRANSFERRING OF MARKS  Each sub-question must be totalled o Questions in Section A has five sub-sections, therefore five sub-totals per question required. Section B has three sub-sections and three sub-totals. o Sub-section totals to be written in the right-hand margin at the end of the sub- section and underlined o Sub-totals must be written legibly o Leave room to write in moderated marks on different levels  Total sub-totals and transfer total to top left-hand margin next to question number  Transfer total to cover of answer book Copyright reserved Please turn over
