Mark Scheme
2010 examination - January series
Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the
relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any
amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme
which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the
mark scheme covers the candidates’ responses to questions and that every examiner
understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation
meeting each examiner analyses a number of candidates’ scripts: alternative answers not
already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after
this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the
meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner.

It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further
developed and expanded on the basis of candidates’ reactions to a particular paper.
Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be
avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change,
depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

Key to mark scheme and abbreviations used in marking

M mark is for method

m or dM mark is dependent on one or more M marks and is for method
A mark is dependent on M or m marks and is for accuracy
B mark is independent of M or m marks and is for method and accuracy
E mark is for explanation

or ft or F follow through from previous

incorrect result MC mis-copy
CAO correct answer only MR mis-read
CSO correct solution only RA required accuracy
AWFW anything which falls within FW further work
AWRT anything which rounds to ISW ignore subsequent work
ACF any correct form FIW from incorrect work
AG answer given BOD given benefit of doubt
SC special case WR work replaced by candidate
OE or equivalent FB formulae book
A2,1 2 or 1 (or 0) accuracy marks NOS not on scheme
–x EE deduct x marks for each error G graph
NMS no method shown c candidate
PI possibly implied sf significant figure(s)
SCA substantially correct approach dp decimal place(s)

No Method Shown

Where the question specifically requires a particular method to be used, we must usually see evidence of use of
this method for any marks to be awarded. However, there are situations in some units where part marks would be
appropriate, particularly when similar techniques are involved. Your Principal Examiner will alert you to these
and details will be provided on the mark scheme.

Where the answer can be reasonably obtained without showing working and it is very unlikely that the correct
answer can be obtained by using an incorrect method, we must award full marks. However, the obvious penalty
to candidates showing no working is that incorrect answers, however close, earn no marks.

Where a question asks the candidate to state or write down a result, no method need be shown for full marks.

Where the permitted calculator has functions which reasonably allow the solution of the question directly, the
correct answer without working earns full marks, unless it is given to less than the degree of accuracy accepted
in the mark scheme, when it gains no marks.

Otherwise we require evidence of a correct method for any marks to be awarded.
