EXAM QUESTION PAPER 1 MARKING
SCHEME
, MARK SCHEME – GCSE MATHEMATICS – 8300/1F –
NOVEMBER 2022
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer 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 associates 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
associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.
As preparation for standardisation each associate 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, associates encounter unusual answers which have not
been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead 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 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.

Glossary for Mark Schemes
GCSE examinations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievement
wherever possible. Thus, for GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under
various categories.
If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the mark scheme the same
principles of marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods.
Examiners should seek advice from their senior examiner if in any doubt.
M Method marks are awarded for a correct method which
could lead to a correct answer.
A Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a
correct method. It is not necessary to always see the
method. This can be implied.
B Marks awarded independent of method.
ft Follow through marks. Marks awarded for correct
working following a mistake in an earlier step.
SC Special case. Marks awarded for a common
misinterpretation which has some mathematical
worth.
M dep A method mark dependent on a previous method
mark being awarded.
B dep A mark that can only be awarded if a previous
independent mark has been awarded.
