NSC PAST PAPERS AND MEMOS
SEPTEMBER 2017
The Physical Sciences P2 Grade 12 September was written on Thursday, 07 September 2017. It was brought to our attention that during the course of marking a number of corrections and additions were detected.
In order to ensure that a standardised approach to marking is adopted across the Province and ensure that learners are not disadvantaged, the examiner and moderator were asked to prepare an errata which should address all the concerns raised.
