MARKING GUIDELINES
NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• If a candidate has crossed out (cancelled) an attempt to a question and NOT redone the solution,
mark the crossed out (cancelled) version.
• Consistent Accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines; however, it stops
at the second calculation error.
• If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and
map, then penalise for every extra incorrect item presented.
LET WEL:
• As ʼn kandidaat ʼn vraag TWEE keer beantwoord, merk slegs die EERSTE poging.
• As ʼn kandidaat ʼn antwoord van ʼn vraag doodtrek (kanseleer) en nie oordoen nie, merk die
doodgetrekte (gekanseleerde) poging.
• Volgehoue akkuraatheid (CA) word in ALLE aspekte van die nasienriglyne toegepas, maar dit
hou by die tweede berekeningsfout op.
• Wanneer ʼn kandidaat aflees van ʼn grafiek, tabel, uitlegplan, en kaart en ekstra antwoorde gee,
penaliseer vir elke ekstra verkeerde item.
