         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.
