memo discussion was held two days after the paper had been written. • In Limpopo a number of issues were identified which had the potential of compromising candidates. Entering of totals was For paper 2, recommendations made on the question paper were implemented except for the following cases: extremely poor. In HG alone, six questions were unmarked and markers were not entering marks on mark sheets. Several errors in totals were found. The quality of internal moderation was very poor. • Question 8.2 – The question was too difficult for SG. The external moderator had recommended that it be replaced but this did not happen. • Question 4.1 – It was suggested that the molecule be drawn as a straight chain and not a bent chain. This also did not happen. • In the HG paper, the number of one (1) mark questions were not substantially reduced as recommended. The external moderator had called for a reduction because these questions tend to make the paper too long. A number of cases were observed where the Chief Examiner awarded candidates zero, yet they deserved full marks. In some cases candidates were awarded full marks when they had many steps missing in their responses. Some candidates were awarded marks for responses that were not marked. • In Mpumalanga there was strong evidence that the moderator was not familiar with the marking memo, and also that markers were not that competent. • The external moderator had also requested that Question 8.2.2 be replaced because of lack of clarity. In Mathematics HG Paper 2, it was noted that the marking memo was generally adhered to in all provinces. The marking memo submitted by In Mathematics Paper 1 SG the following was observed: North West for HG included five changes to the mark allocation of some questions and varies from the approved national memo. Four of these • In KwaZulu-Natal, it was observed that in some cases markers did not append their initials/signatures to marked questions. Markers tended changes were approved, as they were consistent with the notes included in the final memo. to award learners more marks than they deserved. 65
In the Mathematics SG Paper 2, it was observed that the marking memo marking and controls. was generally adhered to with the exception of Mpumalanga, where it was found that the memo was not strictly adhered to. The deviation of marks ranged from 1 to +13. In Physical Science Paper 2, amendments were made mostly to the SG memo. Question 5.1.1 was asked in both HG and SG, therefore amendments were also made to the HG memo for this question. These In English Additional Language Paper 1 and 3, HG and SG, there was a general consensus that the question papers and memoranda had been well constructed and that there were no ambiguities. amendments were considered necessary because candidates were either penalized for correct answers, or else the correct answers, not being in the memo, were ignored. In Physical Science Paper 1 it was observed that four of the eight provinces did not include the marking memorandum used, which meant that it was a lot more difficult to ascertain whether marking was conducted in accordance with the final memo. In general there was consistency in the allocation of marks and accuracy of totals in both grades and the internal moderator, chief marker, and senior markers did a good job of detecting inconsistencies and sorting them out in the moderation process. There were, however, inconsistencies in Limpopo HG – questions were marked correctly but marks were not In both the SG and HG, checking and control of marks and totals was the most significant weakness noted. Only two provinces had visible and allocated. Marks were incorrectly transferred to the front cover and to the computerized sheets. consistent control in place, while some appeared to have none at all. In one province there were a number of errors in this respect, some of these being committed by the moderator. As best as could be ascertained from the limited evidence, moderation ranged from reasonable to excellent. All provinces showed evidence of internal moderation with all the questions being moderated by the internal moderator. It was clear that all provinces had internal moderation procedures in place. Overall, the Eastern Cape and Western Cape produced the best 66
