                                  NSC/NSS – Marking Guidelines/Nasienriglyne

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 penalise 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.
• A conclusion mark can only be given if relevant calculations precede it.
• No penalty for rounding (NPR) if the first decimal is correct.

LET WEL:
• As 'n kandidaat 'n vraag TWEE KEER beantwoord, sien slegs die EERSTE poging na.
• As 'n kandidaat 'n antwoord van 'n vraag doodtrek (kanselleer) en nie oordoen nie, sien die
   doodgetrekte (gekanselleerde) poging na.
• Volgehoue akkuraatheid (CA) word in ALLE aspekte van die nasienriglyne toegepas, dit hou
   op by die tweede berekeningsfout.
• Let wel: volgehoue akkuraatheid (CA) geld nie in die geval van 'n afbreuk nie.
• Wanneer 'n kandidaat aflesings vanaf 'n grafiek, tabel, uitlegplan en kaart geneem en ekstra
   antwoorde gee, penaliseer vir elke ekstra item.
• 'n Algemene nasienbeginsel is dat indien 'n kandidaat een fout maak en daarna voortgaan met
   korrekte wiskunde, dat die kandidaat slegs een punt verloor
• Afronding tel as 'n onafhanklike punt
• 'n Gevolgtrekkingspunt kan slegs gegee word indien relevante berekeninge dit voorgaan.
• Geen penalisering vir ronding (NPR) as die eerste desimaal korrek is nie.
