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.
