Version General Cerificae of Educaion (A-level) January 0 Mahemaics MPC (Secificaion 660) Pure Core Final Mark Scheme
Mark schemes are reared by he Princial Examiner and considered, ogeher wih he relevan uesions, by a anel of subjec eachers. This mark scheme includes any amendmens made a he sandardisaion evens which all examiners ariciae in and is he scheme which was used by hem in his examinaion. The sandardisaion rocess ensures ha he mark scheme covers he sudens resonses o uesions and ha every examiner undersands and alies i in he same correc way. As rearaion for sandardisaion each examiner analyses a number of sudens scris: alernaive answers no already covered by he mark scheme are discussed and legislaed for. If, afer he sandardisaion rocess, examiners encouner unusual answers which have no been raised hey are reuired o refer hese o he Princial Examiner. I mus be sressed ha a mark scheme is a working documen, in many cases furher develoed and exanded on he basis of sudens reacions o a aricular aer. Assumions abou fuure mark schemes on he basis of one year s documen should be avoided; whils he guiding rinciles of assessmen remain consan, deails will change, deending on he conen of a aricular examinaion aer.

Where he answer can be reasonably obained wihou showing working and i is very unlikely ha he correc answer can be obained by using an incorrec mehod, we mus award full marks. However, he obvious enaly o candidaes showing no working is ha incorrec answers, however close, earn no marks. Where a uesion asks he candidae o sae or wrie down a resul, no mehod need be shown for full marks. Where he ermied calculaor has funcions which reasonably allow he soluion of he uesion direcly, he correc answer wihou working earns full marks, unless i is given o less han he degree of accuracy acceed in he mark scheme, when i gains no marks. Oherwise we reuire evidence of a correc mehod for any marks o be awarded.
