Mark Scheme for June 2024
,J560/05 Mark Scheme June 2024
7. Award No Response (NR) if:
• there is nothing written in the answer space
Award Zero ‘0’ if:
• anything is written in the answer space and is not worthy of credit (this includes text and symbols).
Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should check this when
reviewing scripts.
8. The RM Assessor comments box is used by the Principal Examiner or your Team Leader to explain the marking of the practice responses.
Please refer to these comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your Team Leader, use the RM Assessor messaging system.
9. Assistant Examiners should send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the
marking period. Please follow the direction of your Team Leader about which questions you should report on and how to submit your report.
Your report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses.
10. Annotations available in RM Assessor. These must be used whenever appropriate during your marking.

For a response awarded zero (or full) marks a single appropriate annotation (cross, tick, M0 or ^) is sufficient, but not required.
For responses that are not awarded either 0 or full marks, you must make it clear how you have arrived at the mark you have awarded and all
responses must have enough annotation for a reviewer to decide if the mark awarded is correct without having to mark it independently.
It is vital that you annotate standardisation scripts fully to show how the marks have been awarded.

Subject-Specific Marking Instructions
11. M marks are for using a correct method and are not lost for purely numerical errors.
A marks are for an accurate answer and depend on preceding M (method) marks. Therefore M0 A1 cannot be awarded.
B marks are independent of M (method) marks and are for a correct final answer, a partially correct answer, or a correct intermediate stage.
SC marks are for special cases that are worthy of some credit.
12. The following abbreviations are commonly found in GCSE Mathematics mark schemes.
- figs 237, for example, means any answer with only these digits. You should ignore leading or trailing zeros and any decimal point
e.g. 237000, 2.37, 2.370, 0.00237 would be acceptable but 23070 or 2374 would not.
- isw means ignore subsequent working after correct answer obtained and applies as a default.
- nfww means not from wrong working.
- oe means or equivalent.
- rot means rounded or truncated.
- soi means seen or implied.
- dep means that the marks are dependent on the marks indicated. You must check that the candidate has met all the criteria specified
for the mark to be awarded.
- with correct working means that full marks must not be awarded without some working. The required minimum amount of working
will be defined in the guidance column and SC marks given for unsupported answers.
13. Anything in the mark scheme which is in square brackets […] is not required for the mark to be earned, but if present it must be correct.
14. Unless the command word requires that working is shown and the working required is stated in the mark scheme, then if the correct answer
is clearly given and is not from wrong working full marks should be awarded.
Do not award the marks if the answer was obtained from an incorrect method, i.e. incorrect working is seen and the correct answer clearly
follows from it.
15. Where follow through (FT) is indicated in the mark scheme, marks can be awarded where the candidate’s work follows correctly from a
previous answer whether or not it was correct. For questions with FT available you must ensure that you refer back to the relevant previous
answer. You may find it easier to mark these questions candidate by candidate rather than question by question.
Figures or expressions that are being followed through are sometimes encompassed by single quotation marks after the word their for clarity,
e.g. FT 180 × (their ‘37’ + 16), or FT 300 – (their ‘52 + 72’). Answers to part questions which are being followed through are indicated by
e.g. FT 3 × their (a).
