MARKING GUIDELINES

MARKS : 100

NOTE:
• If a learner answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• If a learner has crossed out an attempt of a question and not redone the question, mark the
crossed-out version.
• Consistent accuracy applies in ALL aspects of the marking memorandum. Stop marking
at the second calculation error.
• Assuming answers/values in order to solve a problem is NOT acceptable.
