2 Part One: General ing Principles for Physics Advanced Higher This information is provided to help you understand the general principles you must apply when marking candidate responses to questions in this Paper. These principles must be read in conjunction with the specific ing Instructions for each question. (a) s for each candidate response must always be assigned in line with these general marking principles and the specific ing Instructions for the relevant question. If a specific candidate response does not seem to be covered by either the principles or detailed ing Instructions, and you are uncertain how to assess it, you must seek guidance from your Team Leader/Principal Assessor. GENERAL MARKING ADVICE: Physics Advanced Higher The marking schemes are written to assist in determining the minimal acceptable answer rather than listing every possible correct and incorrect answer. The following notes are offered to support ers in making judgements on candidates evidence, and apply to marking both end of unit assessments and course assessments.. Numerical ing (a) (b) (c) (d) The fine divisions of marks shown in the marking scheme may be recorded within the body of the script beside the candidate s answer. If such marks are shown they must total to the mark in the inner margin. The number recorded should always be the marks being awarded. The number out of which a mark is scored SHOULD NEVER BE SHOWN AS A DENOMINATOR. (½ mark will always mean one half mark and never out of.) Where square ruled paper is enclosed inside answer books it should be clearly indicated that this item has been considered. s awarded should be transferred to the script booklet inner margin and marked G. The total for the paper should be rounded up to the nearest whole number.. Other ing Symbols which may be used TICK Correct point as detailed in scheme, includes data entry. SCORE THROUGH Any part of answer which is wrong. (For a block of wrong answer indicate zero marks.) Excess significant figures. INVERTED VEE A point omitted which has led to a loss of marks. WAVY LINE Under an answer worth marks which is wrong only because a wrong answer has been carried forward from a previous part. G Reference to a graph on separate paper. You MUST show a mark on the graph paper and the SAME mark on the script. X Wrong Physics Wrong order of marks No other annotations are allowed on the scripts. Page

3 3. General Instructions (Refer to National Qualifications ing Instructions Booklet) (a) (b) (c) No marks are allowed for a description of the wrong experiment or one which would not work. Full marks should be given for information conveyed correctly by a sketch. Surplus answers: where a number of reasons, examples etc are asked for and a candidate gives more than the required number then wrong answers may be treated as negative and cancel out part of the previous answer. Full marks should be given for a correct answer to a numerical problem even if the steps are not shown explicitly. The part marks shown in the scheme are for use in marking partially correct answers. However, when the numerical answer is given or a derivation of a formula is required every step must be shown explicitly. (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) Where mark is shown for the final answer to a numerical problem ½ mark may be deducted for an incorrect unit. Where a final answer to a numerical problem is given in the form 3 6 instead of then deduct ½ mark. Deduct ½ mark if an answer is wrong because of an arithmetic slip. No marks should be awarded in a part question after the application of a wrong physics principle (wrong formula, wrong substitution) unless specifically allowed for in the marking scheme eg marks can be awarded for data retrieval. In certain situations, a wrong answer to a part of a question can be carried forward within that part of the question. This would incur no further penalty provided that it is used correctly. Such situations are indicated by a horizontal dotted line in the marking instructions. Wrong answers can always be carried forward to the next part of a question, over a solid line without penalty. The exceptions to this are: where the numerical answer is given where the required equation is given. (i) (j) (k) ½ mark should be awarded for selecting a formula. Where a triangle type relationship is written down and then not used or used incorrectly then any partial ½ mark for a formula should not be awarded. In numerical calculations, if the correct answer is given then converted wrongly in the last line to another multiple/submultiple of the correct unit then deduct ½ mark. Page 3

4 (l) (m) Significant figures. Data in question is given to 3 significant figures. Correct final answer is 8 6J. Final answer 8 J or 8 58J or 8 576J No penalty. Final answer 8J or 8 576J Deduct ½ mark. Candidates should be penalised for a final answer that includes: three or more figures too many or two or more figures too few ie accept two higher and one lower. Max ½ mark deduction per question. Max ½ deduction from question paper. Squaring Error E K = ½ mv = ½ 4 = 4J Award ½ Arith error E K = ½ mv = ½ 4 = 4J substitution. Award ½ for formula. Incorrect The General ing Instructions booklet should be brought to the markers meeting. Page 4
