                                        Grade 12 – 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.
   •  NOTE: consistent accuracy (CA) does not apply in cases of a breakdown.
   •  If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and
      map, then penalize for every extra item presented.
   •  As a general marking principle, if a candidate has incurred one mistake and there is evidence
      of sound mathematics thereafter, then that candidate should lose one mark only.
   •  Rounding is an independent mark.
   •  In opinion type questions marks will only be awarded if relevant calculations are shown.
