NOTES TO MARKERS
PREAMBLE
The notes to markers are provided for quality assurance purposes to ensure the following:
(a) Fairness, consistency and reliability in the standard of marking
(b) Facilitate the moderation of candidates' scripts at the different levels
(c) Streamline the marking process considering the broad spectrum of markers across
the country
(d) Implement appropriate measures in the teaching, learning and assessment of the subject
at schools/institutions of learning
1. For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended:
Marker: Red
Senior Marker: Green
Deputy Chief Marker: Brown 7 =
Chief Marker: Pink ,
Internal Moderator: Orange
DBE Moderator: Turquoise
2. Candidates' responses must be in full sentences for SECTIONS B and C.
However, this would depend on the nature of the question.
3. A comprehensive marking guideline has been provided but this is by no means
exhaustive. Due consideration should be given to an answer that is correct but:
e Uses a different expression from that which appears in the marking guideline
¢ Comes from another credible source
e Original
e Adifferent approach is used
NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer in SECTION A.
4. Take note of other responses provided by candidates, that are relevant within
the context of a particular question, and allocate marks accordingly. (In cases
where the answer is unclear or indicates some understanding, part-marks should
be awarded, for example, one mark instead of the maximum of two marks.)
5. The word 'Submax' is used to facilitate the allocation of marks within a question
or sub-question.
6. The purpose of circling marks (guided by 'max' in the breakdown of marks) on
the right-hand side is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the marking of
scripts as well as for calculation and moderation purposes.
7. Subtotals to questions must be written in the right-hand margin. Circle the
subtotals as indicated by the allocation of marks. This must be guided by 'max'
in the marking guidelines. Only the total for each question should appear in the
left-hand margin next to the appropriate question number.
8. In an indirect question, the theory as well as the response must be relevant and
related to the question.
9. Correct numbering of answers to questions or sub questions is recommended in
SECTIONS A and B. However, if the numbering is incorrect, follow the sequence
Copyright reserved 2 Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
BusIMessignanles!pérom Stanmorephysics. CRREPARATORY EXAMINATION 2022
of the candidate's responses. Candidates will be penalised if the latter is not
clear.
10. No additional credit must be given for repetition of facts. Indicate with an 'R'.
11. The differentiation between ‘evaluate’ and ‘critically evaluate’ can be explained
as follows:
11.1 When 'evaluate' is used, candidates are expected to respond in either a
positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and negative)
stance, e.g. Positive: 'CO/DA eliminates time and costs spent\ on
lengthy civil court proceedings.'\
11.2. When ‘critically evaluate’ is used, candidates are expected to respond
in either a positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and
negative) stance. In this instance candidates are also expected to
support their responses with more depth, e.g. 'COIDA eliminates time
and costs spentV on lengthy civil court proceedingsv, because the
employer will not be liable for compensation to the employee for injuries
sustained during working hours as long as it can be proved that the
business was not negligent.'V
NOTE: 1. The above could apply to ‘analyse’ as well.
2. Note the placing of the tick (V) in the allocation of marks.
12. The allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question, cognitive
verb used, mark allocation in the marking guideline and the context of each
question.
Cognitive verbs, such as:
12.1 Advise, name, state, outline, motivate, recommend, suggest, {list not
exhaustive) do not usually require much depth in candidates’ responses.
Therefore, the mark allocation for each statement/answer appears atthe
end.
12.2 Define, describe, explain, discuss, elaborate, distinguish, differentiate,
compare, tabulate, analyse, evaluate, critically evaluate (list not
exhaustive) require a greater depth of understanding, application and
reasoning. Therefore, the marks must be allocated more objectively to
ensure that assessment is conducted according to established norms
so that uniformity, consistency and fairness are achieved.
13. Mark only the FIRST answer where candidates offer more than one answer for
SECTION B and C questions that require one answer.

14. SECTIONB
14.1 If for example, FIVE facts are required, mark the candidate's FIRST FIVE
responses and ignore the rest of the responses. Indicate by drawing a line across
the unmarked portion.
NOTE: 1. This applies only to questions where the number of facts is
specified.
2. The above also applies to responses in SECTION C. (where
applicable)
14.2 If two facts are written in one sentence, award the candidate FULL credit. Point
14.1 above still applies.
14.3 If candidates are required to provide their own examples/views, brainstorm this
at the marking centre to finalise alternative answers and consult with the Internal
Moderator at DBE for approval.
14.4 Use of the cognitive verbs and allocation of marks:
14.4.1 _ If the number of facts are specified, questions that require candidates
to 'describe/discuss/explain' may be marked as follows:
e = =6Fact 2 marks (or as indicated in the marking
guidelines)
e Explanation 1 mark (two marks will be allocated in Section C)
The ‘fact’ and ‘explanation’ are given separately in the marking
guideline to facilitate mark allocation.
14.4.2 If the number of facts required is not specified, the allocation of marks
must be informed by the nature of the question and the maximum mark
allocated in the marking guideline.
14.5 ONE mark may be awarded for answers that are easy to recall, requires
one-word answers or is quoted directly from a scenario/case study. This
applies to SECTIONS B and C in particular (where applicable).

The breakdown of marks is indicated at the end of the suggested answer/
marking guideline to each question.
Mark all relevant facts until the SUBMAX/MAX mark in a subsection has been
attained. Write SUBMAX/MAX after maximum marks have been obtained, but
continue reading for originality “O”.
At the end of each essay indicate the allocation of marks for facts and marks

When awarding marks for facts, take note of the submaxima indicated,
especially if candidates do not make use of the same subheadings. Remember,
headings and subheadings are encouraged and contribute to insight
(structuring/logical flow/sequencing) and indicate clarity of thought. (See
MARK BREAKDOWN at the end of each question.)
If the candidate identifies/interprets the question INCORRECTLY, then he/she
may still obtain marks for layout.
If a different approach is used by candidates, ensure that the answers are
assessed according to the mark allocation/subheadings as indicated in the
marking guideline.
15.10.1 | Award TWO marks for complete sentences. Award ONE mark for
phrases, incomplete sentences and vague answers.
15.10.2 With effect from November 2015, the TWO marks will not
necessarily appear at the end of each completed sentence. The ticks
(v) will be separated and indicated next to each fact, e.g. ‘Product
development is a growth strategy Vv, where businesses aim to
introduce new products into existing markets.'V
This will be informed by the nature and context of the question, as
well as the cognitive verb used.
With effect from November 2017, the maximum of TWO (2) marks for facts
shown as headings in the marking guidelines, will not necessarily apply to each
question. This would also depend on the nature of the question.
