INFORMATION AND NOTES

1. Marking should be done according to the marking guide.

2. If a learner provide two solutions mark the first or one on the left of the page’

3. If a learner use pencil and pen mark a pen

4. If a learner cancels the answer and never attempted it again, mark the cancelled work.

5. If a learner uses a different method not appearing on the marking guideline, the

marker should accept, after communicating with a senior educator/ DH at school.

CA Consistent accuracy
e.g 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏 = 𝟎 solve for x (3)
(𝒙 − 𝟐)(𝒙 + 𝟐) = 𝟎 wrong factors
𝒙 = 𝟐CA 𝒐𝒓 𝒙 = −𝟐CA

INDEPENDENT WRONG FORMULA USED MARK

Mark only values or variables indicated independent.

A (ACCURACY) IF the answer is 0,6 the learner must get 0,6 nothing else.

Wrong formula used stop marking.

BD (Break down) Mark only independent marks.

OR TWO MISTAKES IN ONE QUESTION.

NB: IF a learner used a particular method, check the validity and before decide to mark the
method consult with the SES’s.
