AQA Qualifications Practice Papers Set Teacher Booklet GCSE MATHEMATICS Unit 460H Mark Scheme 460H November 0 Final version.0
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the stardisation events which all associates participate in is the scheme which was used by them in this eamination. The stardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students responses to questions that every associate understs applies it in the same crect way. As preparation f stardisation each associate analyses a number of students scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed legislated f. If, after the stardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a wking document, in many cases further developed eped 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 eamination paper. Further copies of this Mark Scheme are available from aqa.g.uk
Glossary f Mark Schemes GCSE eaminations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievemena nt wherever possible. Thus, f GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under various categies. M A B Q ft SC M dep B dep oe Method marks are awardedd f a crect method which could lead to a crectt answer. Accuracy markss are awarded when following on from a crect method. It is nott necessary to always see s the method. This can be implied. Marks awarded independent of method. Marks awarded f Quality of Written CommunicaC ation Follow through marks. Marks awardedd f crect wking following a mistake in an earlier step. Special case. Marks awarded within the scheme f a common misinterpretationn which has some mathematical wth. A method mark dependent on a previous method mark being awarded. A mark that can only be awarded if a previous p independent mark has been awarded. Or equivalent. Accept answers that aree equivalent. eg, accept 0.5 as well as [a, b] Accept values between a b inclusive..4 Allow answers which begin.4 eg..4,.4,.49. Use of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed wk to award the marks. Version.0 Page of 4
Eaminers should consistently apply the following principles Diagrams Diagrams thatt have wking on them should bee treated like nmal responses. Iff a diagram has been written on but the crect response is within thee answer space, the wk within the answer space should be marked. Wking on diagrams that contradicts wk within the answer space is not to be considered as choice but as wking, is not, therefe, penalised. Responses which appear to come from increct methods Whenever there is doubt as to whether a cidate has used an increct methodd to obtain an answer, as a general principle, the benefit of doubt must bee given to the cidate. In casess where there is no doubt that the answer has come from increct wking then the cidate should s be penalised. Questions which ask cidates to t show wking Instructions on marking will be given but usuallyy marks are not awarded to cidates who show no wking. Questions which do not ask cidates to show wking As a general principle, a crect response is awarded full marks. Misread miscopy Cidates often copy values from a question increctly. If the eaminer thinks that the cidate has made a genuine misread, then only the t accuracy marks (A B marks), up to a maimum off marks are penalised. The method marks can still be awarded. Further wk Once the crect answer has been seen, further wking may be igned unless it goes on to contradict the crect answer. Choice When a choice of answers / methods is given, mark each attempt. If both methods are valid then M marks can be awarded but any increct answer method would result in markss being lost.. Wk not replaced Erased crossed out wk that is still legible should be marked. Wk replaced Erased crossed out wk that has been replaced is not awarded marks. Premature approimation Rounding off too early can lead to inaccuracy inn the final answer. Thiss should bee penalised by mark unless instructed otherwise. Page 4 of 4 Version.0
