A memo for a Grade 11 Geography exam typically wouldn't be provided to students directly, as it contains answers and marking guidelines. However, I can describe what a memo for a Grade 11 Geography exam might look like:

PRINCIPLES FOR MARKING GEOGRAPHY – NSC NOVEMBER 2022
The following marking principles have been developed to standardise the marking
process.
MARKING
• ALL questions MUST be marked, irrespective of whether it is correct or incorrect.
• Where the maximum marks have been allocated for a particular question, place an
over the
M remainder of the text to indicate the maximum marks have been
achieved.
• A clear neat tick must be used: ✓
o If ONE mark is allocated, ONE tick must be used ✓
o If TWO marks are allocated, TWO ticks must be used ✓✓
o The tick must be place at the FACT that a mark is being allocated for
o Ticks must be kept SMALL, as various layers of moderation may take place
• Incorrect answers must be marked with a clear, neat cross:
o Use MORE than one cross across a paragraph/discussion style questions to
indicate that all facts have been considered.
o Do NOT draw a line through an incorrect answer.
o Do NOT underline the incorrect facts
NOTE THE FOLLOWING
• If the numbering is incorrect or left out, as long as the sequence of answers to
questions is followed candidates can be credited.
• Spelling errors if recognisable, award the marks provided the meaning is correct.
• Be sensitive to the sense of an answer, which may be stated in a different way
• In questions where a letter is the accepted response but the learner writes the
actual answer – award marks.
TOTALLING AND TRANSFERRING OF MARKS
• Each sub-question must be totalled:
o Questions in Section A has five sub-sections, therefore five sub-totals per
question required. Section B has three sub-sections and three sub-totals.
o Sub-section totals to be written in the right-hand margin at the end of the sub-
section and underlined.
o Sub-totals must be written legibly.
o Leave space to write in moderated marks on different levels.
• Total sub-totals and transfer total to left-hand margin next to question number
• Transfer total to cover of ANSWER BOOK.
MODERATION
Marking on each level of moderation is done in the same way as the initial marking.
All guidelines for marking must be adhered to.
If a mark for a sub-question is changed after moderation, the moderator must strike
through the marker’s mark and write down the new mark. 12 16
The total for the question must be re-calculated and similarly be struck off and the
total must be written down. 26 36
