GCSE MATHEMATICS NEW PRACTICE PAPER SET 2 Higher Tier Paper 3 Mark Scheme (Published November 2015) 8300/3H Version 1.0
In Spring 2015, students across the country took this set of practice papers as a Mock Examination. Principal Examiners have marked the papers and these mark schemes have, therefe, been through the nmal process of standardisation. F some questions, Principal Examiners have written based on responses seen. Further copies of this Mark Scheme are available from aqa.g.uk Glossary f Mark Schemes GCSE examinations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievement wherever possible. Thus, f GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under various categies. If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the mark scheme the same principles of marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods. Examiners should seek advice from their seni examiner if in any doubt. M A B ft SC M dep B dep Method marks are awarded f a crect method which could lead to a crect answer. Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a crect method. It is not necessary to always see the method. This can be implied. Marks awarded independent of method. Follow through marks. Marks awarded f crect wking following a mistake in an earlier step. Special case. Marks awarded within the scheme f a common misinterpretation 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 independent mark has been awarded. Or equivalent. Accept answers that are equivalent. eg accept 0.5 as well as 2 1 [a, b] Accept values between a and b inclusive. 3.14 Allow answers which begin 3.14 eg 3.14, 3.142, 3.1416 Use of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed wk to award the marks.

MARK SCHEME GCSE MATHEMATICS NEW PRACTICE PAPER - SET 2 PAPER 3 HIGHER Examiners should consistently apply the following principles Diagrams Diagrams that have wking on them should be treated like nmal responses. If a diagram has been written on but the crect response is within the 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, and is not, therefe, penalised. Responses which appear to come from increct methods Whenever there is doubt as to whether a student has used an increct method to obtain an answer, as a general principle, the benefit of doubt must be given to the student. In cases where there is no doubt that the answer has come from increct wking then the student should be penalised. Questions which ask students to show wking Instructions on marking will be given but usually marks are not awarded to students who show no wking. Questions which do not ask students to show wking As a general principle, a crect response is awarded full marks. Misread miscopy Students often copy values from a question increctly. If the examiner thinks that the student has made a genuine misread, then only the accuracy marks (A B marks), up to a maximum of 2 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 gs on to contradict the crect answer. Choice When a choice of answers and/ 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 marks 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 approximation Rounding off too early can lead to inaccuracy in the final answer. This should be penalised by 1 mark unless instructed otherwise. Version 1.0 Page 3
