GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. CALCULATIONS
1.1   Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution, correct
      answer with unit.
      Punte sal toegeken word vir: korrekte formule, korrekte substitusie, korrekte
      antwoord met eenheid.

1.2    No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is used,
       even though there may be relevant symbols and applicable substitutions.
       Geen punte sal toegeken word waar 'n verkeerde of ontoepaslike formule
       gebruik word nie, selfs al is daar relevante simbole en relevante substitusies.

1.3    When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, a mark
       will be awarded for the correct formula and for the correct substitutions, but
       no further marks will be given.
       Wanneer 'n fout gedurende substitusie in 'n korrekte formule begaan word, sal
       'n punt vir die korrekte formule en vir korrekte substitusies toegeken word, maar
       geen verdere punte sal toegeken word nie.

1.4    If no formula is given, but all substitutions are correct, a candidate will
       forfeit one mark.
       Indien geen formule gegee is nie, maar al die substitusies is korrek, verloor die
       kandidaat een punt.

1.5    No penalisation if zero substitutions are omitted in calculations where
       formula/principle is given correctly.
       Geen penalisering indien nulwaardes nie getoon word nie in berekeninge waar
       die formule/beginsel korrek gegee is nie.

1.6    Mathematical manipulations and change of subject of appropriate formulae
       carry no marks, but if a candidate starts off with the correct formula and then
       changes the subject of the formula incorrectly, marks will be awarded for the
       formula and the correct substitutions. The mark for the incorrect numerical
       answer is forfeited.
       Wiskundige manipulasies en verandering van die onderwerp van toepaslike
       formules tel geen punte nie, maar indien 'n kandidaat met die korrekte formule
       begin en dan die onderwerp van die formule verkeerd verander, sal punte vir die
       formule en korrekte substitusies toegeken word. Die punt vir die verkeerde
       numeriese antwoord word verbeur.

1.7    Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation had been attempted.
       i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer given.
       Punte word slegs vir 'n formule toegeken indien 'n poging tot 'n berekening
       aangewend is, d.w.s. substitusies is gedoen of 'n numeriese antwoord is gegee.

1.8    Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are substituted into
       formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts.
       Punte kan slegs toegeken word vir substitusies wanneer waardes in formule
       ingestel is en nie vir waardes wat voor 'n berekening genoem is nie.

                                              NSS

1.9    All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to two
       decimal places.
       Alle berekenings, wanneer nie in die vraag gespesifiseer word nie, moet tot twee
       desimale plekke gedoen word.

1.10   If a final answer to a calculation is correct, full marks will not automatically be
       awarded. Markers will always ensure that the correct/appropriate formula is
       used and that workings, including substitutions, are correct.
       Indien 'n finale antwoord tot 'n berekening korrek is, sal volpunte nie outomaties
       toegeken word nie. Nasieners sal altyd verseker dat die korrekte/toepaslike
       formule gebruik word en dat bewerkings, insluitende substitusies korrek is.

1.11   Questions where a series of calculations have to be made (e.g. a circuit
       diagram question) do not necessarily always have to follow the same order.
       FULL MARKS will be awarded provided it is a valid solution to the problem.
       However, any calculation that will not bring the candidate closer to the answer
       than the original data, will not count any marks.
       Vrae waar 'n reeks berekenings gedoen moet word (bv. 'n stroomdiagramvraag)
       hoef nie noodwendig dieselfde volgorde te hê nie. VOLPUNTE sal toegeken word
       op voorwaarde dat dit 'n geldige oplossing vir die probleem is. Enige berekening
       wat egter nie die kandidaat nader aan die antwoord as die oorspronklike data bring
       nie, sal geen punte tel nie.

2. UNITS/EENHEDE
2.1   Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an incorrect
      unit within a question or subquestion.
      'n Kandidate sal slegs een keer gepenaliseer word vir die herhaaldelike gebruik
      van 'n verkeerde eenheid in 'n vraag of subvraag.

2.2    Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
       Eenhede word slegs in die finale antwoord tot 'n vraag verlang.

2.3    Marks are only awarded for an answer, and not for a unit per se. Candidates
       will therefore forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in each of the following
       situations:
       - Correct answer + wrong unit
       - Wrong answer + correct unit
       - Correct answer + no unit
       Punte word slegs vir 'n antwoord en nie vir 'n eenheid per se toegeken nie.
       Kandidate sal derhalwe die punt vir die antwoord in die volgende gevalle verbeur:
       - Korrekte antwoord + verkeerde eenheid
       - Verkeerde antwoord + korrekte eenheid
       - Korrekte antwoord + geen eenheid

2.4    SI units must be used except in certain cases, e.g. V·m -1 instead of N·C-1, and
       cm·s-1 or km·h-1 instead of m·s-1 where the question warrants this.
       SI-eenhede moet gebruik word, behalwe in sekere gevalle, bv. V∙m -1 in plaas van
       N∙C-1, en cm∙s-1 of km∙h-1 in plaas van m∙s-1 waar die vraag dit regverdig.

3. GENERAL/ALGEMEEN
3.1   If one answer or calculation is required, but two given by the candidate, only
      the first one will be marked, irrespective of which one is correct. If two
      answers are required, only the first two will be marked, etc.
      Indien een antwoord of berekening verlang word, maar twee word deur die
      kandidaat gegee, sal slegs die eerste een nagesien word, ongeag watter een
      korrek is. Indien twee antwoorde verlang word, sal slegs die eerste twee nagesien
      word, ens.
3.2    For marking purposes, alternative symbols (s,u,t, etc.) will also be accepted.
       Vir nasiendoeleindes sal alternatiewe simbole (s, u, t, ens.) ook aanvaar word.
3.3    Separate compound units with a multiplication dot, not a full stop, for
       example, m·s-1. For marking purposes m.s-1 and m/s will also be accepted.
       Skei saamgestelde eenhede met 'n vermenigvuldigpunt en nie met 'n punt nie,
       byvoorbeeld, m·s-1. Vir nasiendoeleindes sal m.s-1 em m/s ook aanvaar word.
4. POSITIVE MARKING/POSITIEWE NASIEN
      Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
      Positiewe nasien met betrekking tot berekenings sal in die volgende gevalle geld:
4.1    Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is calculated in one
       subquestion (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 or 3.3), e.g.
       if the answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted correctly in 3.2 or 3.3, full
       marks are to be awarded for the subsequent subquestions.
       Subvraag na subvraag: Wanneer 'n sekere veranderlike in een subvraag (bv.
       3.1) bereken word en dan in 'n ander vervang moet word (3.2 of 3.3), bv. indien die
       antwoord vir 3.1 verkeerd is en korrek in 3.2 of 3.3 vervang word, word volpunte
       aan die daaropvolgende subvraag toegeken.
4.2    A multistep question in a subquestion: If the candidate has to calculate, for
       example, current in the first step and gets it wrong due to a substitution error,
       the mark for the substitution and the final answer will be forfeited.
       'n Vraag met veelvuldige stappe in 'n subvraag: Indien 'n kandidaat
       byvoorbeeld, die stroom verkeerd bereken in 'n eerste stap as gevolg van 'n
       substitusiefout, verbeur die kandidaat die punt vir die substitusie sowel as die finale
       antwoord.
5.     NEGATIVE MARKING/NEGATIEWE NASIEN
       Normally an incorrect answer cannot be correctly motivated if based on a
       conceptual mistake. If the candidate is therefore required to motivate in
       question 3.2 the answer given to question 3.1, and 3.1 is incorrect, no marks
       can be awarded for question 3.2. However, if the answer for e.g. 3.1. is based
       on a calculation, the motivation for the incorrect answer in 3.2 could be
       considered.

       'n Verkeerde antwoord, indien dit op 'n konsepsuele fout gebaseer is, kan
       normaalweg nie korrek gemotiveer word nie. Indien 'n kandidaat gevra word om in
       vraag 3.2 die antwoord op vraag 3.1 te motiveer en 3.1 is verkeerd, kan geen
       punte vir vraag 3.2 toegeken word nie. Indien die antwoord op bv. 3.1 egter op 'n
       berekening gebaseer is, kan die motivering vir die verkeerde antwoord in 3.2
       oorweeg word.
