Mark Scheme
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 events which all examiners participate in and is the
scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures
that the mark scheme covers the students responses to questions and that every examiner
understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each
examiner analyses a number of students scripts: alternative answers not already covered by
the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process,
examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been raised 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 students reactions to a particular paper.
Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one years document should be
avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change,
depending on the content of a particular examination paper.
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.
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.
