These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks.
They do not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before
marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will
be recorded in the published Report on the Examination.
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 must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the
Examination.
• CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2003 question papers for most IGCSE and
GCE Advanced Level syllabuses.

MATHEMATICS – NOVEMBER 2003 9709
M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method
marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units.
However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention
of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be
applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant
quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula
being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can
be implied from a correct answer.
• When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are
generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly
when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used
to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B
(asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the
candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given.
• The symbol √ implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly
following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for
correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or
results obtained from incorrect working.
The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt
whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the
doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost,
e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored.
• Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the
scheme specifically indicates otherwise.
• For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct
to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an
angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer
arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B
marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of
10.
• The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts:
BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be
absolutely clear)
MR Misread
SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same
question)
