2 General Comments These marking instructions are for use with the 0 Higher Mathematics Examination. For each question the marking instructions are in two sections, namely Illustrative Scheme and Generic Scheme. The Illustrative Scheme covers methods which are commonly seen throughout the marking. The Generic Scheme indicates the rationale for which each mark is awarded. In general, markers should use the Illustrative Scheme and only use the Generic Scheme where a candidate has used a method not covered in the Illustrative Scheme. All markers should apply the following general marking principles throughout their marking: Marks must be assigned in accordance with these marking instructions. In principle, marks are awarded for what is correct, rather than deducted for what is wrong. One mark is available for each. There are no half marks. Working subsequent to an error must be followed through, with possible full marks for the subsequent working, provided that the level of difficulty involved is approximately similar. Where, subsequent to an error, the working for a follow through mark has been eased, the follow through mark cannot be awarded. As indicated on the front of the question paper, full credit should only be given where the solution contains appropriate working. Throughout this paper, unless specifically mentioned in the marking instructions, a correct answer with no working receives no credit. In general, as a consequence of an error perceived to be trivial, casual or insignificant, e.g. 6 6 =, candidates lose the opportunity of gaining a mark. But note the second example in comment 7. 6 Where a transcription error (paper to script or within script) occurs, the candidate should be penalised, eg This is a transcription error and so the mark is not awarded. Eased as no longer a solution of a quadratic equation. x + x+ 7 = 9x+ x x+ = 0 x = Exceptionally this error is not treated as a transcription error as the candidate deals with the intended quadratic equation. The candidate has been given the benefit of the doubt. x x x = 9 + ~~ x x+ = 0 ( x )( x ) = 0 x = or Page

3 7 Vertical/horizontal marking Where a question results in two pairs of solutions, this technique should be applied, but only if indicated in the detailed marking instructions for the question. Example: Point of intersection of line with curve 6 Illustrative Scheme: x =, x = x = y = 6 6 y =, y = 7 x = y = 7 Markers should choose whichever method benefits the candidate, but not a combination of both. 8 In final answers, numerical values should be simplified as far as possible, unless specifically mentioned in the detailed marking instructions. Examples: should be simplified to or 0 should be simplified to 0 6 must be simplified to 8 should be simplified to should be simplified to The square root of perfect squares up to and including 00 must be known. 9 Commonly Observed Responses (COR) are shown in the marking instructions to help mark common and/or non-routine solutions. CORs may also be used as a guide when marking similar non-routine candidate responses. 0 Unless specifically mentioned in the marking instructions, the following should not be penalised: Working subsequent to a correct answer; Correct working in the wrong part of a question; Legitimate variations in numerical answers, eg angles in degrees rounded to nearest degree; Omission of units; Bad form (bad form only becomes bad form if subsequent working is correct), e.g. ( x + x + x+ )(x+ ) written as ( x + x + x+ ) x+ x + x + 6x + x+ x + x + x+ x + x + 8x + 7x+ gains full credit; Repeated error within a question, but not between questions. In any Show that... question, where the candidate has to arrive at a required result, the last mark of that part is not available as a follow through from a previous error unless specifically stated otherwise in the detailed marking instructions. Page

4 All working should be carefully checked, even where a fundamental misunderstanding is apparent early in the candidate s response. Marks may still be available later in the question so reference must be made continually to the marking instructions. All working must be checked: the appearance of the correct answer does not necessarily indicate that the candidate has gained all the available marks. If you are in serious doubt whether a mark should or should not be awarded, consult your Team Leader (TL). Scored out working which has not been replaced should be marked where still legible. However, if the scored out working has been replaced, only the work which has not been scored out should be marked. Where a candidate has made multiple attempts using the same strategy, mark all attempts and award the lowest mark. Where a candidate has tried different strategies, apply the above ruling to attempts within each strategy and then award the highest resultant mark. For example: Strategy attempt is worth marks Strategy attempt is worth marks From the attempts using strategy, the resultant mark would be. Strategy attempt is worth mark Strategy attempt is worth marks From the attempts using strategy, the resultant mark would be. In this case, award marks. 6 In cases of difficulty, covered neither in detail nor in principle in these instructions, markers should contact their TL in the first instance. Page
