GCSE MATHEMATICS Sample Assessment Materials 135 COMPONENT 1: NON-CALCULATOR MATHEMATICS, HIGHER TIER GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for MARKING GCSE Mathematics 1. The mark scheme should be applied precisely and no departure made from it. Marks should be awarded directly as indicated and no further subdivision made. When a candidate follows a method that does not correspond to the methods explicitly set out in the mark scheme, marks should be awarded in the spirit of the mark scheme. In such cases, further advice should be sought from the Team Leader or Principal Examiner. 2. Marking Abbreviations The following may be used in marking schemes or in the marking of scripts to indicate reasons for the marks awarded. CAO = correct answer only MR = misread PA = premature approximation bod = benefit of doubt oe = or equivalent si = seen or implied ISW = ignore subsequent working F.T. = follow through ( indicates correct working following an error and indicates a further error has been made) Anything given in brackets in the marking scheme is expected but, not required, to gain credit. 3. Premature Approximation A candidate who approximates prematurely and then proceeds correctly to a final answer loses 1 mark as directed by the Principal Examiner. 4. Misreads When the data of a question is misread in such a way as not to alter the aim or difficulty of a question, follow through the working and allot marks for the candidates' answers as on the scheme using the new data. This is only applicable if a wrong value, is used consistently throughout a solution; if the correct value appears anywhere, the solution is not classed as MR (but may, of course, still earn other marks). 5. Marking codes ‘M' marks are awarded for any correct method applied to appropriate working, even though a numerical error may be involved. Once earned they cannot be lost. ‘m’ marks are dependant method marks. They are only given if the relevant previous ‘M’ mark has been earned. ‘A' marks are given for a numerically correct stage, for a correct result or for an answer lying within a specified range. They are only given if the relevant M/m mark has been earned either explicitly or by inference from the correct answer. 'B' marks are independent of method and are usually awarded for an accurate result or statement. ‘S’ marks are awarded for strategy ‘E’ marks are awarded for explanation ‘U’ marks are awarded for units ‘P’ marks are awarded for plotting points ‘C’ marks are awarded for drawing curves © WJEC CBAC Ltd.

GCSE MATHEMATICS Sample Assessment Materials 145 COMPONENT 1: NON-CALCULATOR MATHEMATICS, FOUNDATION TIER GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for MARKING GCSE Mathematics 1. The mark scheme should be applied precisely and no departure made from it. Marks should be awarded directly as indicated and no further subdivision made. When a candidate follows a method that does not correspond to the methods explicitly set out in the mark scheme, marks should be awarded in the spirit of the mark scheme. In such cases, further advice should be sought from the Team Leader or Principal Examiner. 2. Marking Abbreviations The following may be used in marking schemes or in the marking of scripts to indicate reasons for the marks awarded. CAO = correct answer only MR = misread PA = premature approximation bod = benefit of doubt oe = or equivalent si = seen or implied ISW = ignore subsequent working F.T. = follow through ( indicates correct working following an error and indicates a further error has been made) Anything given in brackets in the marking scheme is expected but, not required, to gain credit. 3. Premature Approximation A candidate who approximates prematurely and then proceeds correctly to a final answer loses 1 mark as directed by the Principal Examiner. 4. Misreads When the data of a question is misread in such a way as not to alter the aim or difficulty of a question, follow through the working and allot marks for the candidates' answers as on the scheme using the new data. This is only applicable if a wrong value, is used consistently throughout a solution; if the correct value appears anywhere, the solution is not classed as MR (but may, of course, still earn other marks). 5. Marking codes ‘M' marks are awarded for any correct method applied to appropriate working, even though a numerical error may be involved. Once earned they cannot be lost. ‘m’ marks are dependant method marks. They are only given if the relevant previous ‘M’ mark has been earned. ‘A' marks are given for a numerically correct stage, for a correct result or for an answer lying within a specified range. They are only given if the relevant M/m mark has been earned either explicitly or by inference from the correct answer. 'B' marks are independent of method and are usually awarded for an accurate result or statement. ‘S’ marks are awarded for strategy ‘E’ marks are awarded for explanation ‘U’ marks are awarded for units ‘P’ marks are awarded for plotting points ‘C’ marks are awarded for drawing curves © WJEC CBAC Ltd.
