LET WEL:  As ʼn kandidaat ʼn vraag TWEE keer beantwoord, merk slegs die EERSTE poging.  As ʼn kandidaat ʼn antwoord van ʼn vraag doodtrek (kanselleer) en nie oordoen nie, merk die doodgetrekte (gekanselleerde) poging.  Volgehoue akkuraatheid (CA) word in ALLE aspekte van die nasienriglyn toegepas, maar dit hou by die tweede berekeningsfout op.  Wanneer ʼn kandidaat aflesings vanaf ʼn grafiek, tabel, uitlegplan en kaart geneem en ekstra antwoorde gee, penaliseer vir elke ekstra verkeerde item.
