This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer.  \nIt must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.  \nFurther copies of this Mark Scheme [are available from aqa.org.uk](are available from aqa.org.uk)  \nCopyright © 2016 AQA and its licensors.

Thus, for GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under various categories.  \nIf a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the mark scheme the same principles of marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods. Examiners should seek advice from their senior examiner if in any doubt.  \nM Method marks are awarded for a correct method which could lead  \nto a correct answer.  \nM dep A method mark dependent on a previous method mark being  \nawarded.  \nA Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a correct  \nmethod. It is not necessary to always see the method. This can be  \nimplied.  \nB Marks awarded independent of method.  \nB dep A mark that can only be awarded if a previous independent mark has been awarded.  \nft Follow through marks. Marks awarded following a mistake in an  \nearlier step.  \nSC Special case. Marks awarded within the scheme for a common  \nmisinterpretation which has some mathematical worth.  \noe Or equivalent. Accept answers that are equivalent.  \neg, accept 0.5 as well as 12  \n[a, b] Accept values between a and b inclusive.  \n3.14… Accept answers which begin 3.14 eg 3. 14, 3. 142, 3.1416  \nExaminers should consistently apply the following principles  \nDiagrams  \nDiagrams that have working on them should be treated like normal responses. If a diagram has been written on but the correct response is within the answer space, the work within the answer space should be marked. Working on diagrams that contradicts work within the answer space is not to be considered as choice but as working, and is not, therefore, penalised.  \nResponses which appear to come from incorrect methods  \nWhenever there is doubt as to whether a candidate has used an incorrect method to obtain an answer, as a general principle, the benefit of doubt must be given to the candidate. In cases where there is no doubt that the answer has come from incorrect working then the candidate should be penalised.  \nQ","cbCaikiMQ29dwrXc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikiMQ29dwrXc","pdf",499918,23,"English","# Mark scheme overview\n## Standardisation and document status\n# Marking principles and guidance\n## Awarding marks (M/B/ft/SC/oe)\n## Diagrams and working shown\n## Incorrect methods, misreads, and further work\n## Choice, erased/crossed out work, and approximation penalties","[{\"question\":\"How is the mark scheme standardised and kept consistent during the exam process?\",\"answer\":\"The scheme is used alongside the relevant questions and is considered with the mark scheme amendments made at standardisation events.
