Downloaded from hlayiso.com AMENDMENT TO MARKING GUIDELINES PREPARATORY EXAMINATION / VOORBEREIDENDE EKSAMEN 2023 FOR ATTENTION / VIR AANDAG: THE CHIEF INVIGILATOR / DIE HOOF TOESIGHOUER SUBJECT / VAK MATHEMATICS / WISKUNDE SUBJECT CODE / VAKKODE 10611 PAPER / VRAESTEL 1 DATE OF EXAMINATION / 8 SEPTEMBER 2023 DATUM VAN EKSAMEN The MATHEMATICS / WISKUNDE (Paper / Vraestel 1) written on 8 September 2023 has reference. It has come to our attention that there was an anomaly in the question paper which rendered Question / Vraag 9.2 ambiguous. To ensure that your candidates are not disadvantaged and prejudiced in way, you are advised to please ask Educators to ignore Question / Vraag 9.2 when marking. In other words, the paper must be marked out of a total of 145 instead of 150 and then the learners’ marks must be converted back to a mark out of 150. E.g. Should a learner have attained 65/145, then that mark is recalculated as 67/150. Use the a b formula: x 100 = b. Then, x 150 = c 145 100 c is the mark that is entered into SASAMS out of 150.
