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 standardization events which all associates participate in and is
the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardization 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 standardization 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 standardization 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.
No student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they
refer to the gender identity of others in their exam responses.
A consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will
be credited in exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.

Mark scheme instructions to examiners
General
The mark scheme for each question shows:
the marks available for each part of the question
the total marks available for the question
marking instructions that indicate when marks should be awarded or withheld
including the principle on which each mark is awarded. Information is included to help
the examiner make his or her judgement and to delineate what is creditworthy from
that not worthy of credit
a typical solution. This response is one we expect to see frequently. However, credit
must be given on the basis of the marking instructions.
If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the marking instructions 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.
Key to mark types
M mark is for method
R mark is for reasoning
A mark is dependent on M marks and is for accuracy
B mark is independent of M marks and is for method and accuracy
E mark is for explanation
F follow through from previous incorrect result
Key to mark scheme abbreviations
CAO correct answer only
CSO correct solution only
ft follow through from previous incorrect result
‘their’ indicates that credit can be given from previous incorrect result

AWRT anything which rounds to
ACF any correct form
AG answer given
SC special case
