Please note that this mark scheme is not the one used by
examiners for making scripts. It is intended more as a guide to
good practice, indicating where marks are given for model
solutions. As such, it doesn’t show follow-through marks (marks
that are awarded despite errors being made) or special cases.
It should also be noted that for many questions, there may be
alternative methods of finding correct solutions that are not
shown here – they will be covered in the formal mark scheme.
Guidance on the use of codes within this document
M1 – method mark. This mark is generally given for an appropriate method in the
context of the question. This mark is given for showing your working and may be
awarded even if working is incorrect.
A1 – accuracy mark. This mark is generally given for a correct answer following
correct working.
B1 – working mark. This mark is usually given when working and the answer cannot
easily be separated.
Some questions require all working to be shown; in such questions, no marks will be
given for an answer with no working (even if it is a correct answer).
