# Exam quality assurance body, Umalusi, identified serious issues in 44 marking guidelines before the November 2024 matric exams. External moderators found unclear instructions and typographical errors during pre-exam checks. Umalusi says it has intensified moderator training this year, to prevent such errors, following past incidents like the 2022 maths paper error that made a question unanswerable. The council emphasised that thorough proofreading is essential to uphold exam integrity.
