2 Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the candidates responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same crect way. As preparation f the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a number of candidates scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated f. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a wking document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of candidates 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 examination paper.

3 Additional Science / Physics - AQA GCSE Mark Scheme 200 January Series MARK SCHEME Infmation to Examiners. General The mark scheme f each question shows: the marks available f each part of the question the total marks available f the question the typical answer answers which are expected extra infmation to help the Examiner make his her judgement and help to delineate what is acceptable not wthy of credit, in discursive answers, to give an overview of the area in which a mark marks may be awarded. The extra infmation is aligned to the appropriate answer in the left-hand part of the mark scheme and should only be applied to that item in the mark scheme. At the beginning of a part of a question a reminder may be given, f example: where consequential marking needs to be considered in a calculation; the answer may be on the diagram at a different place on the script. In general the right hand side of the mark scheme is there to provide those extra details which confuse the main part of the mark scheme yet may be helpful in ensuring that marking is straightfward and consistent. 2. Emboldening 2. In a list of acceptable answers where me than one mark is available any two from is used, with the number of marks emboldened. Each of the following lines is a potential mark. 2.2 A bold and is used to indicate that both parts of the answer are required to award the mark. 2.3 Alternative answers acceptable f a mark are indicated by the use of. (Different terms in the mark scheme are shown by a / ; eg allow smooth / free movement.) 3. Marking points 3. Marking of lists This applies to questions requiring a set number of responses, but f which candidates have provided extra responses. The general principle to be followed in such a situation is that right + wrong = wrong. Each err/contradiction negates each crect response. So, if the number of err/contradictions equals exceeds the number of marks available f the question, no marks can be awarded. However, responses considered to be neutral (indicated as * in example ) are not penalised. 3

( mark) Candidate Response Marks awarded 4,8 0 2 green, red*, 5 4 red*, 8 0 Example 2: Name two planets in the solar system. (2 marks) Candidate Response Marks awarded Pluto, Mars, Moon 2 Pluto, Sun, Mars, Moon Use of chemical symbols / fmulae If a candidate writes a chemical symbol / fmula instead of a required chemical name, full credit can be given if the symbol / fmula is crect and if, in the context of the question, such action is appropriate. 3.3 Marking procedure f calculations Full marks can be given f a crect numerical answer, as shown in the column answers, without any wking shown. However if the answer is increct, mark(s) can be gained by crect substitution / wking and this is shown in the extra infmation column; 3.4 Interpretation of it Answers using the wd it should be given credit only if it is clear that the it refers to the crect subject. 3.5 Errs carried fward Any err in the answers to a structured question should be penalised once only. Papers should be constructed in such a way that the number of times errs can be carried fward are kept to a minimum. Allowances f errs carried fward are most likely to be restricted to calculation questions and should be shown by the abbreviation e.c.f. in the marking scheme. 3.6 Phonetic spelling The phonetic spelling of crect scientific terminology should be credited unless there is a possible confusion with another technical term. 3.7 Brackets (..) are used to indicate infmation which is not essential f the mark to be awarded but is included to help the examiner identify the sense of the answer required. 4
