Mark Scheme for June 2024
Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations
,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.

MARKING INSTRIUCTIONS – FOR MARKING ON SCREEN
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 Assessor3 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, email or via the RM Assessor3 messaging
system.
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.
Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than required, then all
responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given. Enter a mark for each question answered into RM assessor3,
which will select the highest mark from those awarded. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves by
attempting more questions than necessary in the time allowed.)
