Defines how responses should be assessed consistently, including handling amendments from standardisation events and guidance for unusual or not-previously-covered answers. Provides marking principles, credit rules for alternative valid methods, use of M, A, B, ft, SC, dependent marks, and equivalence notation. Includes instructions for diagrams, show-working requirements, misreads/miscopies, rounding, notation and choice of methods.","| GCSE\u003Cbr>MATHEMATICS 8300/2H\u003Cbr>Higher Tier Paper 2 Calculator |\n| --- |\n| Mark scheme\u003Cbr>June 2021 |\n\nVersion: 1.0 Final  \n*216g8300/2H/MS*  \nMark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. 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 Examiner.  \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](scheme are available from aqa.org.uk)  \nCopyright information  \nAQA retains the copyright on all its publications.

All rights reserved.  \nGlossary for Mark Schemes  \nGCSE examinations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievement wherever possible. 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.  \nA Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a correct  \nmethod. It is not necessary to always see the method. This can be implied.  \nB Marks awarded independent of method.  \nft Follow through marks. Marks awarded for correct working  \nfollowing a mistake in an earlier step.  \nSC Special case. Marks awarded for a common misinterpretation  \nwhich has some mathematical worth.  \nM dep A method mark dependent on a previous method mark being  \nawarded.  \nB dep A mark that can only be awarded if a previous independent mark  \nhas been awarded.  \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.  \n[a, b) Accept values a ≤ value \u003C b  \n3.14… Accept answers which begin 3.14 eg 3. 14, 3. 142, 3.1416  \nUse of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed work to award the marks.  \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 student has used an incorrect method to obtain an answer, as a general principle, the benefit of doubt mu","cbCaipHGNVZBx8D0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipHGNVZBx8D0","pdf",533444,1,29,"English","en",105,"# Mark scheme\n## Preparation and standardisation\n## Marking principles and crediting methods\n## Marking codes glossary\n## Diagram and response handling\n## Special guidance and notation","[{\"question\":\"Who prepares and standardises this mark scheme?\",\"answer\":\"The mark scheme is prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered with relevant questions by a panel of subject teachers.
