Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 2 Mathematics/P2 2 Hlayiso/Mock 2026 NSC – Marking Guidelines NOTE: • If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt. • If a candidate has crossed out an attempt of a question and not redone the question, mark the crossed-out version. • Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines. 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.
