SC/NSC Marking Guidelines
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARKERS
1. Markers should:
• Familiarise themselves with the question and answer before evaluating the
responses of candidates.
• Always interpret the responses of the candidates within the context of the
question.
• Consider any relevant and acceptable answer during pre-marking but
should strictly adhere to the answers after finalisation of the marking
guideline.
• There are TWO approaches to answering questions; these are (1) to
describe and (2) to explain.
1. If a candidate is required to explain e.g., a process in 4 steps, only the
first 4 responses should be considered.
2. However, if for example candidate is required to explain or describe a
process, we need to consider that that candidates may write a long
description, not necessarily well organised. In this case, the marker
needs to evaluate the complete statement to judge if the candidate
explained the required outcome satisfactorily and allocate marks on
merit.
• Mark what the candidate wrote and do not interpret or predict responses.
• Indicate the tick or cross right at the position where the mark needs to be
awarded or where the candidate made the error.
• Accept the letter corresponding with the correct answer as well as the
answer written in full in multiple-choice questions or similar questions.
• Accept incorrect spelling in answers unless the spelling changes the
meaning of the answer.
• If a learner writes two or more answers separated by a slash (/) mark only
the first response, unless the additional answer/s are different names for the
same item e.g., Yale lock/Night latch. In this case, the answer for the
response should be awarded and the slash (/) should NOT be considered as
an additional answer.
2. For calculations:
• A mark is only awarded if the correct unit is written next to the answer. If the
question states that the answer must be in a specific unit, a mark will ONLY
be awarded if the answer has the correct unit as indicated in the question.
• Marks will only be allocated for the correct values if the candidates add
instead of multiply. NO marks will be awarded for the calculations and the
answer.
• Where an incorrect answer is correctly carried over, the marker must
recalculate the values, using the incorrect answer from the first calculation.
If correctly used, the candidate should receive the full marks for subsequent
calculations.
• Alternative methods of calculations must be considered, provided that the
correct answer is obtained.
• For the calculation of quantities marks will be awarded for the correct use of
the dimension paper.

SC/NSC Marking Guidelines
3. When marking drawings:
• The member for which the mark should be awarded should be drawn
correctly in the correct position to receive a mark.
• A member incorrectly drawn but wrongfully repeated in another
position will be awarded the mark for the repeated incorrect member
provided that the marking guideline provide for TWO or more marks
for that member (positive marking).
• Marks can only be awarded for a label if the label is correctly
indicating the correct member. Do not consider labels for members of
which the labels were provided on the answer sheet.
• Scale drawings should always be marked using an appropriate mask.
• If the incorrect/wrong drawing was drawn, the candidate can be
awarded for only what was provided for on the marking guideline.
• If a line diagram or an orthographic view instead of a pictorial drawing
(isometric/oblique/perspective) is drawn, the first assessment criteria
for each member will be marked wrong, but marks will be awarded for
the subsequent members if TWO or more marks are awarded for the
same member.
• If candidates draw/give more information than what is required, mark
strictly according to the assessment criteria.
4. Incorrect numbering of questions:
• If a candidate numbered an incorrectly, but the answer is in the correct
position according to the sequence of the questions in the question paper,
circle then the incorrect numbering and mark the response.
• If questions were answered randomly not following the same sequence as
in the question paper and the learner numbered incorrectly, the response
should NOT be marked.
5. Duplication of responses and questions answered in the correct place:
• If a question is answered twice, mark the first response.
• If a question should be answered on an answer sheet and the candidate
answered it on both the answer sheet and in the answer book, mark the
response on the answer sheet and cancel the response in the answer book.
• If the question was answered in the answer book instead of on the answer
sheet, mark the response in the answer book according to the assessment
criteria on the marking guideline.
