                                      MARKING GUIDELINES

MARKS: 150

 MARKING PRINCIPLES:
 1.    Unless otherwise stated in the marking guidelines, 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.    Unless otherwise stated, give full marks for correct answer. If 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 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.    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 Q).
 8.    This memorandum 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, marker must inspect reasonableness of the answer.
 11.   Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct. Note:
       check operation must be +, -, x, ÷ as per candidate's calculation (if valid) or per memo.
 12.   In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator & 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.

                        These marking guidelines consist of 13 pages.
