2 exams Pre-Junior Certificate Examination, 014 Mathematics (Project Maths Phase ) Higher Level Paper 1 Marking Scheme (300 marks) Structure of the Marking Scheme Student responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide student responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table: Scale label A B C D No of categories mark scale 0, 5 0, 3, 5 0,, 3, 5 0,, 3, 4, 5 10 mark scale 0, 10 0, 5, 10 0, 3, 7, 10 0, 5, 8, 9, mark scale 0, 15 0, 10, 15 0, 10, 1,15 0, 10, 1, 14, 15 A general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below. More specific directions in relation to interpreting the scales in the context of each question are given in the scheme, where necessary. Marking scales level descriptors A-scales (two categories) incorrect response (no credit) correct response (full credit) B-scales (three categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) partially correct response (partial credit) correct response (full credit) C-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) D-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) response abut half-right (partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding or omission of units, a mark that is one mark below the full-credit mark may also be awarded. Such cases are flagged with an asterisk. Thus, for example, scale 10C* indicates that 9 marks may be awarded. However, it is important to note that this reduction only applies under the following criteria: The * for units to be applied only if the student s answer is fully correct. The * to be applied once only per question. The * penalty is not applied to currency solutions. 014 J.18/0_MS /56 Page of 56 exams

24 Question 13 (suggested maximum time: 10 minutes) (50) General Instructions 1. Penalties of three types are applied to students work, as follows: Blunders - mathematical errors / sign errors / omissions B ( 3) Slips - numerical slips S ( 1) Misreadings (provided task is not oversimplified) M ( 1) Frequently occurring errors to which these penalties must be applied are listed in this scheme. They are labelled B1, B, B3,..., S1, S, S3,..., M1, M, M3,..., etc. Note that these lists are not exhaustive.. When awarding attempt marks, e.g. Att. (3), it is essential to note that: any correct relevant step in a part of a question merits at least the attempt mark for that part if deductions result in a mark which is lower than the attempt mark, then the attempt mark must be awarded a mark between zero and the attempt mark is never awarded. 3. Worthless work must be awarded zero marks. Some examples of such work are listed in this scheme and they are labelled as W1, W,..., etc. 4. The phrase hit or miss means that partial marks are not awarded - the student receives all of the relevant marks or none. 5. The phrase and stops means that no more work is shown by the student. 6. Special notes relating to the marking of a particular part of a question are indicated by double asterisks. These notes immediately follow the relevant solution. 7. The sample solutions for each question are not intended to be exhaustive lists - there may be other correct solutions. 8. Unless otherwise indicated in the scheme, accept the best of two or more attempts - even when attempts have been cancelled. 9. The same error in the same section of a question is penalised once only. 10. Particular cases, verification and answers derived from diagrams (unless requested) qualify for attempt marks at most. 11. A serious blunder, omission or misreading merits the attempt mark at most. 1. Do not penalise the use of a comma for a decimal point, e.g may be written as 6, J.18/0_MS 4/56 Page 4 of 56 exams

29 exams Pre-Junior Certificate Examination, 014 Mathematics (Project Maths Phase ) Higher Level Paper Marking Scheme (300 marks) Structure of the Marking Scheme Student responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide student responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table: Scale label A B C D No of categories mark scale 0, 5 0, 3, 5 0,, 3, 5 0,, 3, 4, 5 10 mark scale 0, 10 0, 5, 10 0, 3, 7, 10 0, 5, 8, 9, mark scale 0, 15 0, 10, 15 0, 10, 1,15 0, 10, 1, 14, 15 A general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below. More specific directions in relation to interpreting the scales in the context of each question are given in the scheme, where necessary. Marking scales level descriptors A-scales (two categories) incorrect response (no credit) correct response (full credit) B-scales (three categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) partially correct response (partial credit) correct response (full credit) C-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) D-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) response abut half-right (partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding or omission of units, a mark that is one mark below the full-credit mark may also be awarded. Such cases are flagged with an asterisk. Thus, for example, scale 10C* indicates that 9 marks may be awarded. However, it is important to note that this reduction only applies under the following criteria: The * for units to be applied only if the student s answer is fully correct. The * to be applied once only per question. The * penalty is not applied to currency solutions. 014 J.18/0_MS 9/56 Page 9 of 56 exams
