ANNOTATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

M marks method marks upon which further marks depend.

B marks independent marks, which do not depend on other marks.

A marks answer marks are awarded for final answers to numerical questions.
Correct numerical answers with no working shown gain all the marks available.

C marks compensatory marks are generally applicable to numerical questions.

These can be awarded based on working evidence.
For example, a C mark may be awarded if the learner does not write down the
actual equation but does correct substitution or working which shows knowledge
of the equation.

Points which are wrong but irrelevant are ignored.

/ meaning or and indicates alternative correct responses for same marking point.

( ) brackets words which are not essential to gain credit but must be implied.
For example, 10 (J) means that the mark is awarded for “10” but not for “10 J”.

____ exact word is required.

accept indicates an answer that is not perfect but is acceptable and worthy of credit.

not incorrect answers which are not worthy of credit.

ignore statements which are irrelevant and are not worthy of credit.

ecf meaning "error carried forward", where a wrong answer in an earlier part of a
question is used correctly in a later part of the same question.

sig. figs. answers are normally acceptable to any number of significant figures ≥ 2.
Any exceptions to this general rule will be specified in the mark scheme.
Numbers must be correctly rounded and not truncated.
