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.  \nNo student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to the gender identity of others in their exam responses.  \nA consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will be credited in exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.  \nFurther copies of [this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk](this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk)  \nCopyright information  \nAQA retains the copyright on all its publications.

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.
