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 penalise for every extra item presented.
