NEW PRACTICE PAPER SET 1 Foundation Tier Paper 1
Mark Scheme (Published September 2015)
8300/1F
Version 1.0
Principal Examiners have prepared these mark schemes for specimen papers. These mark schemes
have not, therefore, been through the normal process of standardising that would take place for live
papers.
Use of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed work to award the marks.
Diagrams
Diagrams that have working on them should be treated like normal responses. If a diagram has been
written on but the correct response is within the answer space, the work within the answer space should be
marked. Working on diagrams that contradicts work within the answer space is not to be considered as
choice but as working, and is not, therefore, penalised.
Misread or miscopy
Students often copy values from a question incorrectly. If the examiner thinks that the student has made a
genuine misread, then only the accuracy marks (A or B marks), up to a maximum of 2 marks are
penalised. The method marks can still be awarded.
Further work
Once the correct answer has been seen, further working may be ignored unless it goes on to contradict the
correct answer.
Choice
When a choice of answers and/or methods is given, mark each attempt. If both methods are valid then M
marks can be awarded but any incorrect answer or method would result in marks being lost.
Work replaced
Erased or crossed out work 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.
