exams Pre-Leaving Certificate Examination, 06 Mathematics Higher Level Paper Marking Scheme (300 marks) Structure of the Marking Scheme Students responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide students responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. These scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in the following table: Scale label A B C D No. of categories 3 4 5 5 mark scale 0,, 5 0,, 4, 5 0 mark scale 0, 4, 7, 0 0, 4, 6, 8, 0 5 mark scale 0, 6, 0, 3, 5 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) 04 LC-H Scale label A B C D No of categories 3 4 5 5 mark scale 0,, 5 0,,, 5 0,, 3, 0 mark scale 0, 5, 0 0, 3, 7, 0 0,, 5, 5 mark scale 0, 7, 5 0, 5, 0,5 0, 4, 7, 0 mark scale D-scales (five categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) response about half-right (middle partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding, omission of units, a misreading that does not oversimplify the work or an arithmetical error that does not oversimplify the work, 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 0C* indicates that 9 marks may be awarded. The * for units to be applied only if the student s answer is fully correct. The * to be applied once only within each section (a), (b), (c), etc. of all questions. The * penalty is not applied to currency solutions. Unless otherwise specified, accept correct answer with or without work shown. Accept students work in one part of a question for use in subsequent parts of the question, unless this oversimplifies the work involved. 06. L.7/0_MS /7 Page of 7 exams

While the underlying assessment principles remain the same, the exact details of the marking of a particular type of question may vary from a similar question asked by the SEC in previous years in accordance with the contribution of that question to the overall examination in the current year. In setting these marking schemes, we have strived to determine how best to ensure the fair and accurate assessment of students work and to ensure consistency in the standard of assessment from year to year. Therefore, aspects of the structure, detail and application of the marking schemes for these examinations are subject to change from past SEC marking schemes and from one year to the next without notice. General Instructions There are two sections in this examination paper. Section A Concepts and Skills 50 marks 6 questions Section B Contexts and Applications 50 marks 3 questions Answer all questions. Marks will be lost if all necessary work is not clearly shown. Answers should include the appropriate units of measurement, where relevant. Answers should be given in simplest form, where relevant. 06. L.7/0_MS 3/7 Page 3 of 7 exams

. exams Pre-Leaving Certificate Examination, 06 Mathematics Higher Level Paper Marking Scheme (300 marks) Structure of the Marking Scheme Students responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide students responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. These scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in the following table: Scale label A B C D No. of categories 3 4 5 5 mark scale 0,, 5 0,, 4, 5 0 mark scale 0, 4, 7, 0 0, 4, 6, 8, 0 5 mark scale 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 (five categories) response of no substantial merit (no credit) response with some merit (low partial credit) response about half-right (middle partial credit) almost correct response (high partial credit) correct response (full credit) In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding, omission of units, a misreading that does not oversimplify the work or an arithmetical error that does not oversimplify the work, 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 0C* indicates that 9 marks may be awarded. The * for units to be applied only if the student s answer is fully correct.

While the underlying assessment principles remain the same, the exact details of the marking of a particular type of question may vary from a similar question asked by the SEC in previous years in accordance with the contribution of that question to the overall examination in the current year. In setting these marking schemes, we have strived to determine how best to ensure the fair and accurate assessment of students work and to ensure consistency in the standard of assessment from year to year. Therefore, aspects of the structure, detail and application of the marking schemes for these examinations are subject to change from past SEC marking schemes and from one year to the next without notice. There are two sections in this examination paper. General Instructions Section A Concepts and Skills 50 marks 6 questions Section B Contexts and Applications 50 marks 3 questions Answer all questions.
