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 aflees van ʼn grafiek, tabel, uitlegplan en kaart en ekstra antwoorde gee, penaliseer vir elke ekstra item.
