NOTE:
 If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
 If a candidate crossed out (cancelled) an attempt to a question and NOT redone the solution,
mark the crossed out (cancelled) version.
 Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines; however it stops
at the second calculation error.
 If a candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and
map, then penalise for every extra incorrect item presented.
