MARKING GUIDELINES
MARKS: 300
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 x.
13. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
14. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.
This marking guidelines consists of 19 pages.
