B 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 answer. M marks: 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 answer. Ifa candidate fails to score a particular M-mark, then none of the dependent ‘A-marks can be scored. C marks: 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 docs not write down the actual equation but does correct working which shows he/she knew the equation, then the C-mark is awarded. ‘A marks: These are accuracy or answer marks which either depend on an M-mari, or allow a. C-mark to be scored. Conventions within the marking scheme BRACKETS ‘Where brackets are shown in the marking scheme, the candidate is not required to give the bracketed information in order to earn the available marks. UNDERLINING In the marking scheme, underlining indicates information that is essential for marks to be awarded.Page 2 Mark Scheme ‘Syllabus, ‘AS Level Examinations — June 2002 ‘8702 Paper 2 1 (a) allow50g - 500g (b) allow 3MJ - 4MI (© allow 6.0-8.0) x 107m (a) allow (5 x 10°) > (5 x 105} Pa (ignore sig. fig. in (a), (b), (¢) and (d).. 2 (a) because all readings have same error OR can’t be eliminated by repeating and averaging .. error is systematic (do not allow ‘systematic’ if argument is fallacious) (b) micrometer measures to fraction of millimetre so is precise OR if repeated, reading is (almost constant) but all readings have error so is not accurate 3 (a) point at which (whole) weight of body may be considered to act {aliow definition based on gravitational force) (b) @ 380N .
