, MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL PHYSICS – 7408/3A – OCTOBER
2020
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together
with the relevantquestions, 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 inthis 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.
Alternativeanswers 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 arerequired 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 examinationpaper.
Further copies of this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk
