Legend to Marking Scheme: c.a.o. correct answer only
f.t. follow through
–1 e.e.o.o. –1 for each error or omission
Other guidelines:

1. No mark in the marking scheme is sub-divisible.

2. Even if no working is shown, a correct answer scores full marks.
3. Incorrect answers − even though nearly correct − score no marks.
4. Incorrect working or statement following a correct answer is ignored.
5. An answer or working that is crossed out and not replaced is marked as if it was not
crossed out. If the answer or working is replaced then the crossed out answer or
working should not be considered in your marking.
6. If the answer is copied from the working area to the answer area incorrectly, then the
marks are awarded fully.
7. Misread loses only the final accuracy mark but f.t. may be allowed on subsequent parts.
The method marks may still be earned provided that the part question is not
oversimplified.
