GRADE 12
NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE EXAMINATIONS
MEMORANDUM
MAY/JUNE 2019

GENERAL INFORMATION:

  • These marking guidelines must be used as the basis for the marking session. They were prepared for use by markers. All markers are required to attend a rigorous standardisation meeting to ensure that the guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the marking of candidates' work.
  • Note that learners who provide an alternate correct solution to that given as example of a solution in the marking guidelines will be given full credit for the relevant solution, unless the specific instructions in the question paper were not followed or the requirements of the question were not met.
  • ANNEXURES A, B, C and D (pages 3–9) include the marking grid for each question and a table for a summary of the learner‟s marks.
  • ANNEXURES E, F, G and H (pages 10–23) contain examples of a programming solution for QUESTION 1 to QUESTION 4 in programming code.
  • Copies of ANNEXURES A, B, C, D and the summary of learner’s marks (pages 3–9) should be made for each learner and completed during the marking session.
