: AMENDMENT TO MARKING GUIDELINES - PREPARATORY EXAMINATIONS THE CHIEF INVIGILATOR SUBJECT / VAK TOURISM (ENGLISH VERSION ONLY) PAPER / VRAESTEL – DATE OF EXAMINATION 26 SEPTEMBER 2025 The errata for the Marking Guidelines of TOURISM has reference. There was an OMISSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CLOCK on the map in Question 2.1 of the ENGLISH question paper. This affected Question 2.1.1 which carried 4 marks and Question 2.1.7 which carried 5 marks. This matter was addressed at the Marking Standardisation Meeting. This adjustment pertains to the English version of the Marking Guidelines ONLY. To ensure that candidates are not disadvantaged and prejudiced in any way, you are advised to please ask your educator(s) of Tourism to ignore Question 2.1.1 AND Question 2.1.7 when marking. In other words, the paper must be marked out of a total of 191 instead of 200 and then the learners’ marks must be converted to a mark out of 200. E.g., Should a learner attain 124/191, then that mark is recalculated to 130/200. Use the a x 100 = b. Then, b x 200 = c formula: 191 100 c is the mark that is entered into SASAMS out of 200.
