Indien ʼn kandidaat ʼn vraag TWEE keer beantwoord het, merk SLEGS die EERSTE poging. • Consistent accuracy(CA) applies in ALL aspects of the memorandum. Volgehoue akkuraatheid geld deurgaans in ALLE aspekte van die memorandum. • If a candidate crossed out an attempt of a question and did not redo the question, mark the crossed-out attempt. Indien ʼn kandidaat ʼn poging vir ʼn vraag deurgetrek het en nie die vraag weer beantwoord het nie, merk die poging wat deurgetrek is. • The mark for substitution is awarded for substitution into the correct formula. Die punt vir substitusie word toegeken vir substitusie in die korrekte formule.
