Mark Scheme for June 2022
,As physics pp
OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide
range of qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR
qualifications include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals,
Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs
and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT, business, languages,
teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.
It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national
requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit
organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help
towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the
changing needs of today’s society.
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the
requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded
by examiners. It does not indicate the details of the discussions which took place at
an examiners’ meeting before marking commenced.
All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected
approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the
relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers
and the report on the examination.

, PREPARATION FOR MARKING ON-SCREEN
1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM assessor
Online Training and the OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
2. Make sure that you have read and understood the Instructions for On-Screen Marking and the mark scheme and the
question paper for this unit. These are posted on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal
http://www.rm.com/support/ca
3. Log-in to RM assessor and mark the required number of practice responses and the required number of standardisation responses.
MARKING INSTRUCTIONS – FOR MARKING ON-SCREEN AND FOR PAPER BASED MARKING
1. Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM assessor 50% and 100% deadlines. If you
experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the RM assessor
messaging system, or by email.
5. Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not
marked. Where no alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and
mark the crossed out response where legible.
Multiple Choice Question Responses
When a multiple choice question has only a single, correct response and a candidate provides two responses (even if one of
these responses is correct), then no mark should be awarded (as it is not possible to determine which was the first response
selected by the candidate).
When a question requires candidates to select more than one option/multiple options, then local marking arrangements need to ensure
consistency of approach.
