MARKING GUIDELINE
MARKS: 150
MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1. Unless otherwise indicated 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 items).
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. Unless otherwise stated, give full marks for correct answer. If the answer is incorrect, mark workings.
4. If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as a final figure, allocate the part-mark as a working mark for that
figure (not the method mark for the answer). NOTE: if figures are stipulated in marking guidelines 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. If candidates provide more than the required number of responses, inspect all responses to give benefit
to the candidate. Penalties may be applied for foreign entries if candidates earn full marks on a question
(max -2 per question).
8. This marking guideline is not for public distribution; as certain items might imply incorrect treatment. The
adjustments made are due to nuances in certain questions.
9. Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
10. Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the
answer.
11. 'Operation' means check operation. 'one part correct' means operation and one part correct.
NOTE: Check operation must be +, –, x or ÷ as per candidate’s calculation (if valid) or per marking
guidelines.
12. In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator and denominator are swapped – this also
applies to ratios.
13. 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
14. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. Note that one
comment could contain different aspects.
15. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.
This marking guideline consists of 8 pages.
