                                          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.
  •  If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and map, then
     penalise for every extra item presented.
  •  Rounding is an independent mark.
  •  General principle of marking, if the candidate makes one mistake one mark is deducted.
                                               1
  •  A conclusion mark can only be given if 3 of the total marks for the sub-question have been awarded.
  •  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 egter op
     by die tweede berekeningsfout.
  •  Wanneer 'n kandidaat aflesings vanaf 'n grafiek,, tabel, uitlegplan en kaart aanbied en ekstra antwoorde
     gee, penaliseer vir elke ekstra item.
  •  Afronding tel as 'n afsonderlike punt.
  •  Die algemene beginsel van nasien is, as 'n leerder een fout maak, word een punt afgetrek.
                                                          1
  •  'n Gevolgtrekkingspunt kan slegs gegee word indien 3 van die totale punte vir die subvraag toegeken is.
  •  Geen penalisering vir afronding (NPR) nie as die eerste desimaal korrek is.
