SUBJECT:            ERRATA – PHYSICAL SCIENCES P1 GRADE 12 SEPTEMBER 2017

DATE:               15 SEPTEMBER 2017

The Physical Sciences P2 Grade 12 September was written on Thursday, 07 September
2017. It was brought to our attention that during the course of marking a number of
corrections and additions were detected.

In order to ensure that a standardised approach to marking is adopted across the Province
and ensure that learners are not disadvantaged, the examiner and moderator were asked to
prepare an errata which should address all the concerns raised.

We asked that this must be brought to the attention of all educators marking the papers and
sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. However, it must be noted that these
amendments are required in order to ensure that a fair and equitable assessment of learners
can take place.

Yours in education.
