It defines marking rules using codes such as B, M, A, C, P, FT, and OE, explaining how method, accuracy, communication, and process marks are awarded. The questions cover congruence and similarity using angle facts, scale factors for missing lengths, and problem solving for areas and volumes of similar shapes and solids.","This test is divided into non-calculator (20 minutes) and calculator (30 minutes) sections which can be delivered separately.  \nThe following marks are awarded for each question.  \n\n| B | Unconditional accuracy mark |\n| --- | --- |\n| M | Method mark – the correct method must be shown but there may be an arithmetic error; the sight of the value given in brackets implies the award of the method mark |\n| A | Accuracy mark – unless the question specifies that working must be shown then the sight of the correct answer implies the award of full marks (unless the answer clearly comes from incorrect working) |\n| C | Communication mark |\n| P | Process mark to show correct process for problem solving. Any other process of a similar standard to achieve an accurate result is acceptable to achieve this mark |\n| FT | Incorrect values may be followed through from one step to the next provided that the correct method is seen in each step and the only errors are arithmetic. This is shown in mark schemes by putting a number in inverted commas. |\n| OE | Or equivalent answer mark |\n\n\n| Non-Calculator |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Q | Answer | Mark | Comment |\n| 1 | Explanation with appropriate angles and reasons | P1 | angle BCA = 30° and angle XYZ = 130° OE, e.g. angle BCA = 30 and angle YXZ = 35, so these are not equal or angle XYZ 130 and angle ABC = 135 so these are not equal\u003Cbr>similar triangles must have identical angles, so the two triangles are not similar |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n| 3 | 14 (cm) | M1 | 21 ÷ 6 (= 3.5 OE) or 4 × 3.5 OE or uses ratio of width to length 2:3\u003Cbr>14 |\n|  |  | A1 |  |\n\n| 5a | Explanations | C1 | angle QPR = angle RTS alternate angles are equal and Angle PQR = angle RST alternate angles are equal; accept \"same\"instead of \"equal\" OE\u003Cbr>angle PRQ = angle SRT vertically opposite angles are equal so PQR and RST are similar triangles; accept \"same\"instead of \"equal\" OE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n| 5b | a = 36(cm) and b = 5(cm) | M1 | 27 Scale factor = ~~ ~~ (= 4.5 OE)\u003Cbr>6\u003Cbr>a = 36 and b = 5 |\n|  |  | A1 |  |\n\n\n| 7 | Full proof | C3 | e.g. XWM = MYZand WXM = MZY\u003Cbr>because alternate angles are equal WX = YZ because opposite sides ofa parallelogram are equal and reference to ASA\u003Cbr>C2 for identifying any two of XWM= MYZ, WXM = MZYor WX = YZ with correct reasons or all three with one correct reason\u003Cbr>C1 for identifying any one of XWM= MYZ, WXM = MZYor WX = YZ with a correct reason or all three with no correct reason |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n|  Calculator |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 9 | No with comparison of two correct 2\u003Cbr>figures, e.g. 1 ~~ ~~ and 2\u003Cbr>3 | M1 | dimensions of WXYZ are\u003Cbr>18 + 6 + 6 (= 30) and 12 + 6 + 6 (= 24)\u003Cbr>2\u003Cbr>length scale factor = 30 ÷ 18 (= 1~~  ~~3\u003Cbr>OE)\u003Cbr>and width scale factor = 24 ÷ 12 (= 2)\u003Cbr>or for correct use of a scale factor to find a length eg width scale factor is 2, so for the length 18 × 2 = 36 |\n|  |  | M1 |  |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n| 11a | 7 (cm) | M1 | scale factor = 10.5 ÷ 6 (= 1.75 OE) or 4 × 1.75 OE\u003Cbr>7 |\n|  |  | A1 |  |\n| 11b | 8.4 (cm) | M1 | 14.7 ÷ \"1 .75\" OE\u003Cbr>8.4 |\n|  |  | A1 |  |\n\n| 13 | 583.78 (cm2) | P1 | volume scale factor of\u003Cbr>638.69\u003Cbr>X to Y = = 4.913 OE\u003Cbr>130\u003Cbr>linear scale factor = 4.913 = 1.7 OE area scale factor = 1.72 = 2.89 OE or 202 × 2.89 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | P1 |  |\n|  |  | P1 |  |\n|  |  | A1 |  |\n| 15 | x2 􀀐 4\u003Cbr>3(x 􀀐 2)\u003Cbr>(x 􀀎 2)\u003Cbr>3\u003Cbr>􀂧 x 􀀎 2 􀂷 2\u003Cbr>( A 􀀠)9 􀁵 􀂨 ~~ ~~ 􀂸 = x2 + 4x + 4\u003Cbr>􀂩 3 􀂹 | C1 | for an expression of the length scale x2 􀀐 4\u003Cbr>factor, e.g. ~~ ~~ OE\u003Cbr>3(x 􀀐 2)\u003Cbr>for simplifying the length scale factor, e.g. (x~~ ~~2x)􀀐(x2􀀎)~~ ~~2) or (x~~ ~~􀀎3~~ ~~2) OE\u003Cbr>for an expression using the area scale\u003Cbr>􀂧 x 􀀎 2 􀂷 2\u003Cbr>factor, e.g. 9 􀁵 􀂨 ~~ ~~ 􀂸 = x2 + 4x + 4 OE\u003Cbr>􀂩 3 􀂹\u003Cbr>fully correct process |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n|  |  | C1 |  |\n\n| Non-Calculator |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Question | Topic | Step | Marks |\n| 1 | Use the information given about the length ","cbCaioS7RGTiJUHS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioS7RGTiJUHS","pdf",250337,1,7,"English","en",105,"# Non-Calculator\n## Marking scheme codes and guidance\n## Question-wise marking notes\n# Calculator\n## Question-wise marking notes\n## Similar shapes: scale factor, areas and volumes","[{\"question\":\"How is each question marked in the non-calculator section?\",\"answer\":\"Marks are awarded using codes like M for correct method with possible arithmetic error, A for accuracy (with conditions), C for communication, and P for correct process.
