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 was not followed or the requirements of the question was not met 
• Annexures A, B and C (pages 3-7) include the marking grid for each question  for using either one of the two programming languages.  
• Annexures D, E and F (pages 6-17) contain examples of solutions for Java for  Questions 1 to 3 in programming code. 
• Annexures G, H and I (pages 18-30) contain examples of solutions for Delphi for Questions 1 to 3 in programming code. 
• Copies of Annexures A, Band C (pages 3-7) should be made for each learner  and completed during the marking session.
