GUIDELINES FOR MARKING/RIGLYNE VIR NASIEN

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.

Hierdie afdeling verskaf riglyne vir die manier waarop punte toegeken sal word. Die breë
beginsels moet tydens die nasien van Fisiese Wetenskappe toetse en eksamens gevolg
word.

1.1    MARK ALLOCATION/PUNTETOEKENNING

       1.1.1      Definitions/Definisies: Two marks will be awarded for a correct
                  definition. No marks will be awarded for an incorrect or partially
                  correct definition. Twee punte sal vir ŉ korrekte definisie toegeken
                  word. Geen punte sal vir ŉ verkeerde of gedeeltelik korrekte definisie
                  toegeken word nie.

       1.1.2      Calculations/Berekeninge:
                  o     Marks will awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution, correct
                        answer with unit.
                        Punte sal toegeken word vir: korrekte formule, korrekte substitusie,
                        korrekte antwoord met eenheid.
                  o     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 ŉ verkeerde of ontoepaslike
                        formule gebruik word nie, selfs al is daar relevante simbole en
                        relevante substitusies.

       1.1.3      Explanations and interpretations/Verduidelikings en
                  interpretasie:
                  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.
                  Toekenning van punte by vrae wat interpretasie of verduideliking
                  vereis bv. AS 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 en 3.3, sal verskil en mag die
                  gebruik van rubrieke, kontrolelyste, memoranda, ens. insluit. By al
                  hierdie antwoorde moet die beklemtoning op die wetenskaplike
                  konsepte, met betrekking tot die vraag, val.

1.2    FORMULAE AND SUBSTITUTIONS/FORMULES EN SUBSTITUSIE
       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.
                  Wiskundige manipulering en verandering van die voorwerp van
                  toepaslike formules dra geen punte nie, maar as ŉ kandidaat begin
                  met die korrekte formule en dan die voorwerp van die formule
                  verkeerd uitwerk, sal punte vir die formule en korrekte substitusie
                  toegeken word.

       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.
                     Wanneer ŉ fout gedurende substitusie in ŉ korrekte formule
                     begaan word, sal ŉ punt vir die korrekte formule en vir korrekte
                     substitusie toegeken word, maar geen verdere punte sal toegeken
                     word nie.
       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.
                     Punte sal slegs toegeken word vir ŉ formule as ŉ poging
                     aangewend was om ŉ berekening te doen d.w.s. substitusie was
                     gedoen of ŉ numerieke antwoord word verskaf.
       1.2.4         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
                     formules ingestel is en nie vir waardes wat voor ŉ berekening gelys is
                     nie.
       1.2.5         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.
1.3    UNITS/EENHEDE
       1.3.1         Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an
                     incorrect unit within a question or sub-question.
                     ŉ Kandidaat sal slegs een keer gepenaliseer word vir die
                     herhaaldelike gebruik van ŉ verkeerde eenheid in ŉ vraag of
                     subvraag.
       1.3.2         Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
                     Eenhede word slegs in die finale antwoord tot ŉ vraag verlang.
       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.
                     Punte word slegs vir ŉ antwoord en vir ŉ 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
       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).
                     SI-eenhede moet gebruik word behalwe in sekere gevalle, bv. V.m-1
                     inplaas van of N.C-1, en cm.s-1 of km.h-1 inplaas van m.s-1 waar die
                     vraag dit verlang. (Hierdie instruksie geld slegs by Vraestel 1).

1.4    POSTIVE MARKING/POSITIEWE NASIEN

       Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
       Positiewe nasien met betrekking tot berekeninge sal in die volgende gevalle geld:

       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.
                  Subvraag na subvraag: Wanneer ŉ sekere veranderlike in een
                  subvraag (bv. 3.1) bereken word en dan in ŉ ander vervang moet
                  word (3.2 of 3.3), bv. Indien die antwoord vir 3.1 verkeerd is en word
                  korrek in 3.2 of 3.3 vervang, word volpunte aan die daaropvolgende
                  subvraag toegeken.

       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.
                  ŉ Vraag met veelvuldige stappe in ŉ subvraag: Indien ŉ kandidaat
                  byvoorbeeld, die aantal mol verkeerd bereken in ŉ eerste stap as
                  gevolg van ŉ substitusiefout, verloor die kandidaat die punt vir die
                  substitusie sowel as die finale antwoord.

       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.
                  Indien ŉ finale antwoord tot ŉ 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.

       1.4.4      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.
                  Vrae waar ŉ reeks berekeninge gedoen moet word (bv. ŉ
                  stroombaan diagram vraag) hoef nie noodwendig altyd dieselfde orde
                  te volg nie. VOLPUNTE sal toegeken word mits dit ŉ geldige
                  oplossing tot die probleem is. Maar, enige berekening wat nie die
                  kandidaat nader aan die antwoord bring as die oorspronklike data,
                  sal geen punte tel nie.

       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.
                     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.

       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.
                     Normaalweg, as dit gebaseer is op ŉ voorstellingsfout, kan ŉ
                     verkeerde antwoord nie korrek gemotiveer word nie. As die
                     kandidaat derhalwe gevra word met ŉ vraag in 3.2 om die antwoord
                     in vraag 3.1 te motiveer, en 3.1 is verkeerd, sal geen punte vir vraag
                     3.2 toegeken word nie. Maar, as die antwoord in bv. 3.1 gebaseer is
                     op ŉ berekening, kan die motivering vir die verkeerde antwoord
                     oorweeg word.

       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.
                     Indien instruksies aangaande metode van beantwoording nie gevolg
                     word nie, bv. die kandidaat doen ŉ berekening wanneer die instruksie
                     los op deur konstruksie en meting was, mag die kandidaat al die
                     punte vir die spesifieke vraag verbeur.

       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.
                     Vir ŉ foutdraendebeginsel, sal geen punte toegeken word nie (Reël
                     1) bv. As die potensiaalverskil 200 V en die weerstand 25 Ω is,
                     bereken die stroom.

1.5    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF MARKING IN CHEMISTRY/
       ALGEMENE BEGINSELS VAN NASIEN BY CHEMIE

       The following are a number of guidelines that specifically apply to Paper 2.
       Die volgende is ŉ aantal riglyne wat spesifiek op Vraestel 2 van toepassing is.

       1.5.1      When a chemical FORMULA is asked, and the NAME is given as
                  answer, only one of the two marks will be awarded. The same rule
                  applies when the NAME is asked and the FORMULA is given.
                  Wanneer ŉ chemiese FORMULE gevra word en die NAAM word as
                  antwoord gegee, sal slegs een van die twee punte toegeken word.
                  Dieselfde reël geld wanneer die NAAM gevra word en die FORMULE
                  gegee word.

       1.5.2      When redox half-reactions are to be written, the correct arrow should
                  be used. If the equation
                  H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e- (2/2)

                  is the correct answer, the following marks will be given:
                  Wanneer redokshalfreaksies geskryf moet word, moet die korrekte
                  pyltjie gebruik word. Indien die bostaande vergelyking die korrekte
                  antwoord is, sal die volgende punte toegeken word:

                  H2S ⇋ S + 2H+ + 2e- (1/2)
                  H2S ← S + 2H+ + 2e- (0/2)
                  S + 2H+ + 2e- ← H2S (2/2)
                  S + 2H+ + 2e- ⇋ H2S (0/2)

       1.5.3      When candidates are required to give an explanation involving the
                  relative strength of oxidising and reducing agents, the following is
                  unacceptable:
                   Stating the position of a substance on Table 4 only (e.g. Cu is
                       above Mg).
                   Using relative reactivity only (e.g. Mg is more reactive than Cu).
                   The correct answer would for instance be: Mg is a stronger
                       reducing agent than Cu, and therefore Mg will be able to reduce
                       Cu2+ ions to Cu. The answer can also be given in terms of the
                       relative strength as electron acceptors and donors.

                  Wanneer kandidate ŉ verduideliking moet gee oor die relatiewe
                  sterkte van oksideer- en reduseermiddels, is die volgende
                  onaanvaarbaar.
                   Meld slegs die posisie van ŉ stof op tabel 4 (bv. Cu is bo Mg).
                   Gebruik slegs relatiewe reaktiwiteit (bv. Mg is meer reaktief as
                      Cu).
                   Die korrekte antwoord sal byvoorbeeld wees: Mg is ŉ sterker
                      reduseermiddel as Cu en derhalwe sal Mg in staat wees om
                      Cu2+-ione na Cu te reduseer. Die antwoord kan ook in terme van
                      die relatiewe sterkte van elektronakseptors of donors gegee
                      word.

       1.5.4         One mark will be forfeited when the charge of an ion is omitted per
                     equation.
                     Een punt sal verbeur word wanneer die lading van ŉ ioon per
                     vergelyking weggelaat is.

       1.5.5         The error carrying principle does not apply to chemical equations or
                     half-reactions. For example, if a learner writes the wrong
                     oxidation/reduction half-reaction in the sub-question and carries the
                     answer to another sub-question (balancing of equations or
                     calculations of Eθcell) then the learner is not credited for this
                     substitution.
                     Die foutdraendebeginsel geld nie vir chemiese vergelykings of
                     halfreaksies nie. Byvoorbeeld, indien ŉ leerder die verkeerde
                     oksidasie/reduksie-halfreaksie vir die subvraag skryf en die antwoord
                     na ŉ ander subvraag dra (balansering van vergelyking of E𝜃sel) dan
                     word die leerder nie vir die substitusie gekrediteer nie.

       1.5.6         When a calculation of the cell potential of a galvanic cell is expected,
                     marks will only be awarded for the formula if one of the formulae
                     indicated on the data sheet (Table 2) is used. The use of any other
                     formula using abbreviations etc. will carry no marks.
                     Wanneer ŉ berekening van die selpotensiaal van ŉ galvaniese sel
                     verlang word, sal punte slegs vir die formule toegeken word as een
                     van die formules op die gegewensblad (Tabel 2) gebruik word. Die
                     gebruik van enige ander formule, die gebruik van afkortings, ens. Sal
                     geen punte dra nie.

       1.5.7         In the structural formula of an organic molecule all hydrogen atoms
                     must be shown. Marks will be deducted if hydrogen atoms are
                     omitted.
                     In die struktuurformules van ŉ organiese molekuul moet alle
                     waterstofatome getoon word. Punte sal afgetrek word vir die
                     weglating van waterstofatome.

       1.5.8         When a structural formula is asked, marks will be deducted if the
                     candidate writes the condensed formula.
                     Wanneer ŉ struktuurformule gevra word, sal punte afgetrek word
                     indien die leerder die gekondenseerde formule skryf.

       1.5.9         When an IUPAC name is asked, and the candidate omits the hyphen
                     (e.g. instead of 1-pentene the candidate writes 1 pentene), marks will
                     be forfeited.
                     Wanneer die IUPAC naam gevra word en die koppelteken(s) in die
                     naam word uitgelaat (bv. In plaas van pent-1-een of 1-penteen skryf
                     ŉ kandidaat pent 1 een of 1 penteen), sal punte verbeur word.
