 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 ‘n 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 galvaniesesel 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.
