Q7.3: This question cannot be solved. The refractive index of the cladding was not given, hence the solution in the memo is invalid. What action should you take? Ignore this question; don't mark it and use 147 as total for the paper.

Are you interested in comments on the final grade 12 papers?

We hope to get useful comments on Friday's paper (6 Nov.) as well as the paper of today (9 Nov.).

If you are interested, go to the post on the physics paper. Just below it, you will find the comments. Same for the chemistry paper.

Comments: Chemistry paper of 9 November

As you know, we try to help our chief markers and internal moderators with information they can take along to enhance the scope and quality of national memo discussions. 

Would you please be so kind to scrutinise the chemistry paper of today, and send any comments you consider necessary for the above-mentioned purpose?

Don’t think your view is not important. Anything that can add value to the marking process and overall situation with question papers, is welcome. Don’t wait too long to send them; we have to have them before the national memo discussions commence and that is usually a few days after a paper is written.

You can post your comments below or you can email them. See email address on the left - almost at the top.

Best wishes with chemistry!

Best wishes to all candidates who are writing their final chemistry paper today.
