Mark scheme Unit 11 Assessment

This is a calculator test (50 minutes).

The following marks are awarded for each question.

B Unconditional accuracy mark

M Method mark – the correct method must be shown but there may be an arithmetic
error; the sight of the value given in brackets implies the award of the method
mark
A Accuracy mark – unless the question specifies that working must be shown then
the sight of the correct answer implies the award of full marks (unless the answer
clearly comes from incorrect working)
C Communication mark
P Process mark to show correct process for problem solving. Any other process of a
similar standard to achieve an accurate result is acceptable to achieve this mark
FT Incorrect values may be followed through from one step to the next provided
that the correct method is seen in each step and the only errors are arithmetic.
This is shown in mark schemes by putting a number in inverted commas
OE Or equivalent answer mark
