MARKING CODES
A Accuracy CA Consistent accuracy
M Method R Rounding
NPR No penalty for rounding NPU No penalty for units omitted
S Simplification SF Substitution in correct formula
S/R Statement/Reason AO Answer only
NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines where indicated.
• No penalty for rounding (NPR) for ALL questions, unless stated otherwise.
• In QUESTIONS 5 and 6 (Euclidean geometry) a statement without the correct reason earns no
mark for the reason. Accept any valid alternative method.

sides PQ ̸= QR, so it is not a square. (3)
(Also accept: parallelogram (diagonals bisect /
RS ∥ PQ and PS ∥ QR) with a right angle, and
PQ ̸= QR so not a square.)
