GUIDELINES FOR MARKING
This section provides guidelines for the way in which marks will be allocated. The broad
principles must be adhered to in the marking of Physical Sciences tests and
examinations.
1.1 MARK ALLOCATION
1.1.1 Definitions: Two marks will be awarded for a correct definition. No
marks will be awarded for an incorrect or partially correct definition.
1.1.2 Calculations:
o Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution,
correct answer with unit.
o No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is
used, even though there may be relevant symbols and applicable
substitutions.
1.1.3 Explanations and interpretations: Allocation of marks to questions
requiring interpretation or explanation e.g. AS 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 and
3.3, will differ and may include the use of rubrics, checklists, memoranda,
etc. In all such answers emphasis must be placed on scientific concepts
relating to the question.
1.2 FORMULAE AND SUBSTITUTIONS
1.2.1 Mathematical manipulations and change of subjects of appropriate
formulae carry no marks, but if a candidate starts 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.
1.2.2 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.
1.2.3 Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation had been attempted,
i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer given.
1.2.4 Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are substituted
into formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts.
1.2.5 All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to two
decimal places.
1.3 UNITS
1.3.1 Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an incorrect
unit within a question or sub-question.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
4 PHYSICAL SCIENCES P1/FISIESE WETENSKAPPE V1 (NOVEMBER 2012)
1.3.2 Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
1.3.3 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.
1.3.4 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. (This
instruction only applies to Paper 1.)
1.4 POSTIVE MARKING
Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
1.4.1 Sub-question to sub-question: When a certain variable is calculated in
one sub-question (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
sub-questions.
1.4.2 A multi-step question in a sub-question: 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.
1.4.3 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.
1.4.4 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.
1.4.5 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.
1.4.6 Normally, if based on a conceptual mistake, an incorrect answer cannot be
correctly motivated. 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 for 3.2
could be considered.

1.4.7 If instructions regarding method of answering are not followed, e.g. the
candidate does a calculation when the instruction was to solve by
construction and measurement, a candidate may forfeit all the marks for
the specific question.
1.4.8 For an error of principle, no marks are awarded (Rule 1) e.g. If the
potential difference is 200 V and resistance is 25 Ω, calculate the current.

4.6 The internal resistance becomes very high. √ Energy is used to
move the charge through the cell and less energy is available for
the external circuit. √
Die interne weerstand raak baie hoog. √ Energie word gebruik om
lading deur die sel te beweeg en minder energie is beskikbaar vir
die eksterne stroombaan. √ [11.3.2] (2)
4.7 The total resistance of the circuit will increase, √ the total current
will decrease and the ammeter reading will decrease. √ Since emf
and r stay the same, the internal voltage decreases; therefore
reading on V1 will increase,√ the reading on V2 will be zero. √
Die totale weerstand van die stroombaan verhoog √ die totale
stroom verminder en die ammeter verminder. √ Omdat die emk en
r konstant bly, sal die interne volt afneem, dus die lesing op V1 sal
vermeerder √ die lesing op V2 sal nul wees. √ [11.1.3] (4)
