Grade 12 - Marking Guidelines

NOTE:
 If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
 If a candidate has crossed out (cancelled) an attempt to a question and NOT redone the
solution, mark the crossed out (cancelled) version.
 Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines; however, it
stops at the second calculation error.
 Consistent accuracy (CA) does not apply in cases of a breakdown.
 If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and
map, then penalize for every extra item presented.
 General principle of marking, if a candidate has incurred one mistake and there is evidence
of sound mathematics thereafter, then that candidate should lose one mark only.
 Rounding is an independent mark.
 In opinion type questions marks will only be awarded if relevant calculations are shown.
