These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. They do not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners' meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates' scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2002 question papers for most IGCSE, Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level and Advanced Level syllabuses.

Mark Scheme A Level Examinations - November 2002

Syllabus 9709

Marks are of the following three types. M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. " However it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula: the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand. e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correetly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or implied). Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks.

When a part of a question has two or more ''method'' steps. theM marks are generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise: and similarly \vhen there are several 8 marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a particular M orB mark is dependent on an earlier rvt orB (asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the candidate. the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given. The symbol /implies that the A orB mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise. A or B marks are given for correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or results obtained from incorrect working.

Note: B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0 . 82,1,0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2. The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candic;Iate the benefit of the doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost. e.g. wrcmg working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise. For a numerical answer, allow the A orB mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s. or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (I d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated above, an A orB mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions. allow A or B marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of I 0.

Notes

Mark Scheme A Level Examinations - November 2002

Syllabus 9709

The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme o~ used on the scripts. AEF Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable). AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid). BOD Benefit of Poubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be absolutely clear). CAO CorrectAnswer Only (emphasising that no ''follow through" from a previous error is allowed). CWO Correct Working Only- often written by a fortuitous answer. ISW Ignore Subsequent Working. MR Misread. PA Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is insufficiently accurate). SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same question). SR Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution. or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a particular circumstance)

Penalties

MR-1

PA-l

A penalty of MR -1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty ofthe question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become "follow throughJ''marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures- this is regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR-2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed at the coordination meeting. This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The PA-l penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
