MARKING GUIDELINES
MARKS: 150
MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1. Unless otherwise stated in the marking guideline, penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not
losing marks elsewhere in the question for that item (no penalty for misplaced item). No double penalty applied.
2. Penalties for placement or poor presentation (e.g. details) are applied only if the candidate is earning marks on the
figures for that item.
3. Full marks for correct answer. If answer incorrect, mark the workings provided.
4. If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as a final figure, allocate the part-mark for the working for that figure (not the
method mark for the answer). Note: if figures are stipulated in memo for components of workings, these do not
carry the method mark for final answer as well.
5. Unless otherwise indicated, the positive or negative effect of any figure must be considered to award the mark. If
no + or – sign or bracket is provided, assume that the figure is positive.
6. Where indicated, part-marks may be awarded to differentiate between differing qualities of answers from
candidates.
7. This memorandum is not for public distribution, as certain items might imply incorrect treatment. The adjustments
made are due to nuances in certain questions.
8. Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
9. Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the answer and
at least one part must be correct before awarding the mark.
10. Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct. Note: check operation
must be +, -, x, ÷, or per memo.
11. In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator & denominator are swapped – this also applies to
ratios.
12. In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect at least in
part. Indicate with a .
13. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
14. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.
This marking guideline consists of 10 pages
