Stop marking at the second calculation error. • Assuming answers/values in order to solve a problem is NOT acceptable. GEOMETRY S A mark for a correct statement (a statement mark is independent of a reason). R A mark for the correct reason (a reason mark may only be awarded if the statement is correct). S/R Award a mark if the statement AND reason are both correct.
