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.

• If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and map, then
penalize for every extra item presented.
