GCE Physics A Unit G484: The Newtonian World Advanced GCE Mark Scheme for June 06 Oxford Cambridge and SA Examinations
OC (Oxford Cambridge and SA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OC qualifications include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills. It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OC is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today s society. This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners meeting before marking commenced. All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report on the examination. OC will not enter into any discussion or correspondence in connection with this mark scheme. OC 06

G484 Mark Scheme June 06 CATEGOISATION OF MAKS The marking schemes categorise marks on the MACB scheme. B marks: M marks: C marks: A marks: These are awarded as independent marks, which do not depend on other marks. For a B-mark to be scored, the point to which it refers must be seen specifically in the candidate s answers. These are method marks upon which A-marks (accuracy marks) later depend. For an M-mark to be scored, the point to which it refers must be seen in the candidate s answers. If a candidate fails to score a particular M-mark, then none of the dependent A-marks can be scored. These are compensatory method marks which can be scored even if the points to which they refer are not written down by the candidate, providing subsequent working gives evidence that they must have known it. For example, if an equation carries a C-mark and the candidate does not write down the actual equation but does correct working which shows the candidate knew the equation, then the C-mark is given. These are accuracy or answer marks, which either depend on an M-mark, or allow a C-mark to be scored. Note about significant figures: If the data given in a question is to sf, then allow to or more significant figures. If an answer is given to fewer than sf, then penalise once only in the entire paper. Any exception to this rule will be mentioned in the Guidance. Penalise a rounding error in the second significant figure once only in the paper. 5
