General marking instructions: 1.1 During marking of multiple-choice questions, only ONE possible answer can be accepted. If the candidate indicated two or more responses, ONLY the first response will be recognised /acknowledged and marked according to marking guideline. 1.2 Where the number of responses of the candidate exceeds the required number stated in the question, only the first required number of responses will be accepted. E.g. if the question states, 'Name THREE …' and the candidate stated four different responses, ONLY the first three will be accepted. The remaining responses must be ignored with a line drawn through it. 1.3 When the question clearly indicates what is expected of the candidate: (a) If the candidate is required to describe a process step by step (e.g., a process in four steps), only the first four responses should be considered. (b) However, if the candidate is required to explain a process, it should be noted that the response may be lengthy and not necessarily well organized. In such cases, the marker must evaluate the entire response to determine whether the candidate has explained the required outcome satisfactorily and allocate marks on merit. 1.4 If question numbering of sub-questions is not correct according to question paper sequence, the responses can be accepted if a sequence pattern can be identified or followed. 1.5 Attention must be given to mark allocation in questions where two (2) marks were allocated to one response, e.g. (Any 1 x 2). 1.6 ONE tick must be allocated for each mark awarded and no global marking is allowed. 1.7 Unanswered and incorrect responses of questions must be indicated with a cross (X). 1.8 All blank pages in an ANSWER BOOK must be crossed out to indicate that the pages have been seen by the marker. 1.9 Attention must be given to questions where the candidate did not complete the answer and continued answer(s) on subsequent pages in the answer book. Continue marking such answers and award marks, if applicable. If a question is answered twice, mark the first response.

Consider answers where candidates have rounded off in sub-questions and it affects the final answer. 1.15 Attention must be given to special marking instructions to the marker which are stated for specific questions in the marking guideline. 1.16 A red line must be drawn by the marker to indicate the end of each question. 1.17 Marks of sub-questions must be indicated in the outside margins of the ANSWER BOOK pages and NOT in the inside margins. 1.18 When sub-question marks are allocated in the outside margins they must be in line with the sub-question and NOT be circled. 1.19 The total marks awarded for the question must be written on the red line drawn by the marker and circled to clearly indicate the marks awarded for that particular question. 1.20 Marker must transfer marks to cover page and ensure correctness of transfer. 1.21 Markers should familiarise themselves with the question and answer before evaluating the responses of candidates. 1.22 Always interpret the responses of the candidates within the context of the question. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Mechanical Technology: Fitting and Machining 4 DBE/November 2025 NSC – Marking Guidelines 1.23 Mark what the candidate wrote and do not make assumptions about or predict intended responses. 1.24 Accept incorrect spelling in answers unless the spelling changes the meaning of the answer. 1.25 Pencil work is normally acknowledged as rough work and should not be considered/marked. 1.26 As a rule, marks are not awarded for formulas that are found in the attached formula sheet. If a formula was correctly manipulated, then only can a mark be awarded. Marks will also be awarded for correct formulas given by candidates if the particular formula is not found in formula sheet. Marks are awarded for correct substitution. 1.27 Incorrect values from previous calculations substituted at the right place in the formula will be awarded marks. 1.28 Markers must pay attention to calculations where an incorrect answer from a previous step was correctly substituted in the next calculation. In such cases, they must write “sub” next to the tick mark on the script to indicate that the mark was awarded for correct substitution only. 1.29 If during the calculations of a candidate, the formula that appear on the formula page was not indicated correctly but calculations and steps were done correctly, full marks may be awarded. 1.30 If, during a candidate’s calculations, the formula from the formula sheet was transferred incorrectly, no marks should be awarded for the values substituted in that calculation, as it renders the solution mathematically incorrect. 2. Specific marking instructions: 2.1 In Questions 9.3 and 9.4, the answers must be in context of the subject.
