Mark Scheme for June 2018

Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations


OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications
include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals,
Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in
areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.

It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the
needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is
invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and
support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society.

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking
commenced.

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 should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report
on the examination.

4751/01 Mark Scheme June 2018

Subject-specific Marking Instructions for GCE Mathematics (MEI) Pure strand

a Annotations should be used whenever appropriate during your marking.

The A, M and B annotations must be used on your standardisation scripts for responses that are not awarded either 0
or full marks. It is vital that you annotate standardisation scripts fully to show how the marks have been awarded.

For subsequent marking you must make it clear how you have arrived at the mark you have awarded.

b An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper. Remember that the mark scheme is
designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work
must not be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key
steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly.

Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method.
Such work must be carefully assessed. When a candidate adopts a method which does not correspond to the mark scheme,
award marks according to the spirit of the basic scheme; if you are in any doubt whatsoever (especially if several marks or
candidates are involved) you should contact your Team Leader.

c The following types of marks are available.

M
A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method
marks are not usually 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, eg by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors
allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.

A
Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless
the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded.

B
Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks.

4
4751/01 Mark Scheme June 2018

E
A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the
establishment of an unknown result.

Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, eg wrong working following a correct form of
answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a
case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.

d When a part of a question has two or more ‘method’ steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme
specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation ‘dep *’ is used to indicate
that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that
when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can
sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks
are implied and full credit must be given.

e The abbreviation ft implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect
results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only — differences in notation are of course permitted. A
(accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an
intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, exactly what is
acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme rationale. If this is not the case please consult your Team Leader.

Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be
‘follow through’. In such cases you must ensure that you refer back to the answer of the previous part question even if this is
not shown within the image zone. You may find it easier to mark follow through questions candidate-by-candidate rather than
question-by-question.

f Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise.
Candidates are expected to give numerical answers to an appropriate degree of accuracy, with 3 significant figures often being
the norm. Small variations in the degree of accuracy to which an answer is given (e.g. 2 or 4 significant figures where 3 is
expected) should not normally be penalised, while answers which are grossly over- or under-specified should normally result in
the loss of a mark. The situation regarding any particular cases where the accuracy of the answer may be a marking issue
should be detailed in the mark scheme rationale. If in doubt, contact your Team Leader.

g Rules for replaced work

If a candidate attempts a question more than once, and indicates which attempt he/she wishes to be marked, then examiners
should do as the candidate requests.

5
4751/01 Mark Scheme June 2018

If there are two or more attempts at a question which have not been crossed out, examiners should mark what appears to be
the last (complete) attempt and ignore the others.

NB Follow these maths-specific instructions rather than those in the assessor handbook.

h For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain
unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate’s data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is
generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A mark in the question.

Note that a miscopy of the candidate’s own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.

Appendix – sample explanations for 8(i)


Explanation Mark
Even if a number is negative, its square will be positive. 1

n2 + 6 will always be positive (because of the n2). This being positive does not imply that n is positive. 1

any negative number squared is positive, therefore can be positive or negative 1

B can still be correct even if n was a negative number 1 bod

A can be a negative value and B will still be a positive number 1 bod

B will always be positive but A can be a negative number 1 bod

eg (–5)2 = 25, so B = 31 is positive 1 bod

eg –32 + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15, so the number can be negative 1 bod

any number squared is positive, so n can be positive or negative 0

Introduction
Our examiners’ reports are produced to offer constructive feedback on candidates’ performance in the
examinations. They provide useful guidance for future candidates. The reports will include a general
commentary on candidates’ performance, identify technical aspects examined in the questions and
highlight good performance and where performance could be improved. The reports will also explain
aspects which caused difficulty and why the difficulties arose, whether through a lack of knowledge, poor
examination technique, or any other identifiable and explainable reason.

Where overall performance on a question/question part was considered good, with no particular areas to
highlight, these questions have not been included in the report. A full copy of the question paper can be
downloaded from OCR.

Paper 4751/01 series overview


This legacy paper had a very different cohort to previous years, as year 12 prepare for the new
specifications. This meant that many of the candidates were retake candidates.

In this non-calculator paper, weaknesses in arithmetic, especially with negative signs and values, and
with fractions were exposed.

Overall, Section A gave candidates of all abilities the opportunity to show what they could do, whilst
giving scope to differentiate the more able candidates. In Section B, the three questions were sufficiently
demanding in parts to differentiate more able candidates whilst allowing lower ability candidates some
access.

The majority of those who needed to use page 12 and/or an extra booklet used them for questions 12(ii)
and 12(iii). There was evidence from some candidates of rushing into questions before considering the
best approach.

The word ‘hence’ was used in questions 10 and 12(ii). A few candidates lost marks because they did not,
as requested, use the results already obtained in their subsequent work.

AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Section A overview
The structure of shorter questions here enabled testing of a range of topics. It proved to give candidates
of all abilities the opportunity to show what they could do, whilst giving scope to differentiate the more
able candidates. Questions 6 and 8(ii) proved to be the most challenging.

Question 1

Candidates usually answered this correctly. Where errors were made, it was usually in applying the
power of 3 to the number term or to c.

Question 2

y mx + c and y − y1= m( x − x1 ) methods both


Many candidates obtained five marks here, with the=
commonly used to find the equation of the straight line. Once they had found the correct gradient,
success tended to follow. Candidates who made errors either demonstrated that they had not fully
understood negative number arithmetic, or forgot to calculate the intercepts. Very few did not gain any
marks.

Question 3(i)

Many candidates worked confidently and gained both marks. Some made errors in converting the mixed
number to a fraction. A few interpreted the power as an inversion followed by a square root.

Question 3(ii)

Candidates who dealt with the cube root first made fewer errors with the zeros than those who first
squared 8000. In general, there were more errors in this part than in part (i).

5 © OCR 2018
AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Question 4

A good majority of candidates were able to rearrange and factorise to isolate x, with a few minor sign
and arithmetical slips when collecting like terms seen. Some did not simplify the denominator in their
3y
answer, leaving it as x = . Some isolated y instead of x and the mark scheme covered this
y + 2 − 6y
event. A few candidates made life difficult for themselves by working in fractions throughout – only rarely
was this strategy fully successful.

Question 5

Candidates were usually confident in the method required to solve these simultaneous equations, and
most reached the correct value for x. Coping with the fractions in substituting to find y was found more
challenging by some.

Question 6

There were some good confident answers, elegantly obtained. Some candidates wrote all the terms of
the expansion before realising which one they needed, but then often chose correctly. A common error
was to omit the negative sign in the final answer. A few candidates had no idea of what they needed to
do, although some were able to gain a mark for writing the correct row of Pascal’s triangle.

Question 7(i)

Many candidates answered this confidently but not all were sure of the technique needed. In general,
candidates found it easier to find 28 = 2 7 than they did to find 3 175 . Quite a common error was to
find 175 = 5 7 and then to omit the factor of 3 in obtaining their final answer.

6 © OCR 2018
AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Question 7(ii)

Most candidates knew what to do, but many lost marks due to making a sign error in the numerator. The
other common error was in multiplying two irrational terms, so that 2 × 3 2 frequently became 12
instead of 6, or remained irrational.

Question 8(i)

Most candidates realised that negative numbers were needed in their argument, but they were not
always clear or accurate in what they said. The implication symbols in both parts in question 8 were
sometimes poorly written, for instance as a single arrow, which was not accepted. A few candidates,
many of whom had a correct argument, gave the wrong answer A ⇐ B , indicating that they were unsure
of the meaning of the symbols. A few candidates tried to use arguments involving odd and even
numbers.

Question 8(ii)

The reasoning in this part was much poorer than in part (i). Some candidates referred vaguely to ‘other
shapes’, which was not sufficient. Others referred incorrectly to trapezium, rhombus or kite. A good
minority spotted that the parallelogram was the shape needed which also fulfils the condition given.

Question 9

Some candidates produced a well organised solution, leading directly to the expected values of a and c,
with clear, concise working, and excellent solution of simultaneous equations (including the negative
signs). The majority were able to find the correct initial expressions, with a few candidates neglecting to
use the remainder theorem, and instead attempting to fully complete the division by (x − 4), to find the
second expression – a few managed this successfully. A few candidates interpreted (−1)3a as −a3, and
made little further progress. Some candidates who knew what to do did not subtract/add their equations
accurately – some of these were able to spot their errors and recover.

AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Section B overview
In these long questions, the structure enabled access for all for some parts, whilst giving plenty of
challenge in others. Question 12(iii) proved to be the most challenging question in the paper, as
intended.

Question 10(i)

Most candidates found a and b correctly. However, many made errors in finding c, where they often
omitted a factor of 3 when subtracting from 5, or made errors in squaring b. Some did not follow the
‘Hence’ instruction, and some lost marks by giving the coordinates of the minimum point rather than just
the y-coordinate.

Question 10(ii)

This was generally well done, but some candidates lost marks by omitting (0, 5). Expressing the
inequality correctly was found the most difficult mark to earn.

Question 11(i)

Most candidates found the intercepts correctly and produced a good sketch of a cubic graph.

Question 11(ii)

Candidates who found g(−3) were usually successful. Those who just divided by (x + 3) often did not say
that (x + 3) is a factor implies that x = −3 is a root. Most candidates found the quadratic factor
successfully and then used the discriminant. However, some did not relate their conclusion back to the
demand in the question. Some others confused factors and roots, e.g. ‘(x + 3) is a root’ and did not earn
the final mark. A few candidates had no idea of how to proceed after finding g(−3), with some attempting
to use the discriminant on the cubic.

8 © OCR 2018
AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Question 11(iii)

This question was mostly well done. Some candidates did not multiply out f(x) and thought that they only
had to compare the constant terms to show that g(x) is a translation of f(x). A few confused the direction,
giving k = −28 instead of +28.

Question 12(i)

Answers here were nearly always correct.

Question 12(ii)

Most candidates were able to form the correct equation for the intersection and to find the coordinates of
B, although arithmetical or algebraic errors meant that some lost their way. Those who found the
midpoint were usually able to complete the solution successfully. Some did not appreciate that ‘Hence’
meant that they should use their answer for B and so did not access the last two marks.

9 © OCR 2018
AS/A Level GCE Mathematics (MEI) - 4751/01 - Summer 2018 Examiners’ report

Question 12(iii)

Candidates found this to be the most demanding question on the paper. Most started by substituting
y = 2x + k into the circle equation. A major source of error was in the expansion of (2x + k + 1)², which
was more reliably done by those who expanded the circle equation before substituting y = 2x + k. Some
did not rearrange the resulting equation to zero. It was always a pleasure to see candidates successfully
completing the route to gaining full marks, but not many did. The mark scheme catered for three
alternative methods, but candidates rarely completed these successfully. Some candidates had no idea
where to begin, and some tried different approaches after making errors. For instance, substituting k = y
– 2x into the given result was a common tactic that was not fruitful.
