NSC – Marking Guidelines
MARKING CODES
A Accuracy CA Consistent accuracy
M Method R Rounding
NPR No penalty for rounding NPU No penalty for units omitted
S Simplification SF Substitution in correct formula
ST Statement RE Reason
S/R Statement with reason AO Answer only
NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines where indicated.
• No penalty for rounding (NPR) for ALL questions, unless stated otherwise. A tolerance range is
given where rounding of an earlier answer changes the final answer.
• In QUESTIONS 7, 8 and 9 (Euclidean geometry) a statement without the correct reason earns
no mark for the reason. Accept any valid alternative proof.
