NSC EXAM PAPERS AND MEMOS
NOVEMBER 2016

GENERAL INFORMATION:

These marking guidelines are to 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 paper were not followed or the requirements of the question were not met.
Annexures A, B and C (pages 3-10) include the marking grid for each question for using either one of the two programming languages.
Annexures D, E and F (pages 11-19) contain examples of solutions for Java for QUESTION 1 to QUESTION 3 in programming code.
Annexures G, H and I (pages 20-32) contain examples of solutions for Delphi for QUESTION 1 to QUESTION 3 in programming code.
Copies of Annexures A, B and C (pages 3-10) should be made for each learner and completed during the marking session.
