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 incorrect item presented. 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.
