NOTES TO MAKERS PREAMBLE
The notes to makers are provided for quality assurance purposes to ensure the following:
a) Fairness, consistency and reliability in the standard of marking
b) Facilitate the moderation of candidates’ scripts at the different levels
c) Streamline the marking process considering the board spectrum of makers across the country
d) Implement appropriate measures in the teaching, learning and assessment of the subject at schools/institutions of learning
1. For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended: Marker: Red
Senior Marker: Deputy Green
2. Candidates’ responses must be in full sentences for SECTIONS B and C. However, this would depend on the nature of the question.
3. A comprehensive marking guideline has been provided but this is by no means exhaustive. Due consideration should be given to an answer that is correct but:
• Uses a different expression from that which appears in the marking guideline
• Comes from another credible source
• Original
• A different approach is used
NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer in SECTION A.
4. Take note of other relevant answers provided by candidates and allocate marks accordingly. (In cases where the answer is unclear or indicates some understanding, part-marks should be awarded, for example, one mark instead of the maximum of two marks.)
5. The word ‘Sub-max’ is used to facilitate the allocation of marks within a question or sub-question.
6. The purpose of circling marks (guided by ‘max’ in the breakdown of marks) on the right-hand side is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the marking of scripts as well as for calculation and moderation purposes.
7. Subtotals to questions must be written in the right-hand margin. Circle the subtotals as indicated by the allocation of marks. This must be guided by ‘max’ in the marking guidelines. Only the total for each question should appear in the left- hand margin next to the appropriate question number.
8. In an indirect question, the theory as well as the response must be relevant and related to the question.
Correct numbering of answers to questions or sub questions is recommended in SECTION A and B. However, if the numbering is incorrect, follow the sequence of the candidate’s responses. Candidates will be penalized if the latter is not clear
