Assessment
Assessment summary
Paper 1 is externally assessed through an examination paper lasting 2 hours.
Paper 2 is externally assessed through an examination paper lasting 1 hour.

The assessment for this qualification is linear and both papers must be taken in the
same series.
There will be a range of compulsory, short-answer structured questions in both
papers which are ramped to ensure accessibility for less able students, as well as to
stretch more able students.
Students may be required to perform calculations, draw graphs and describe,
explain and interpret physical phenomena. Some of the question content will be
unfamiliar to students; these questions are designed to assess data-handling skills
and the ability to apply physical principles to unfamiliar situations. Questions
targeted at grades A*B will include questions designed to test knowledge,
understanding and skills at a higher level, including some requiring longer prose
answers.

relating to scientific systems or phenomena. For example, they can use many
different relationships between physical quantities to carry out calculations
effectively

draw together and communicate knowledge from more than one area, routinely
use scientific or mathematical conventions in support of arguments, and use a
wide range of scientific and technical vocabulary throughout their work

use scientific knowledge and understanding to describe an appropriate method

for a practical task, identifying the key factors to be considered. They can recall
or describe a range of apparatus required for the task. They can select a
method of presenting data which is appropriate to the task; they can select
information from a range of sources where it is appropriate to do so. They can
identify and explain anomalous observations and measurements and the salient
features of graphs

use scientific knowledge and understanding to identify and explain patterns and
draw conclusions from the evidence by combining data of more than one kind or
from more than one source. They can identify shortcomings in evidence, use
scientific knowledge and understanding to draw conclusions from their evidence
and suggest improvements to methods used that would enable them to collect
more reliable evidence.

Grade C
Candidates can:

recall a range of scientific information from all areas of the specification,

including units

use and apply scientific knowledge and understanding in some general contexts.
For example, they can use quantitative relationships between physical quantities
to perform calculations

charts and graphs to support arguments; use appropriate scientific and
technical vocabulary in a range of contexts

use scientific knowledge and understanding to identify an approach to a

practical scenario. For example, they can identify key factors to vary and
control; they can recall or describe a range of apparatus required for the task;
they can present data systematically, in graphs where appropriate, and use
lines of best fit; they can identify and explain patterns within data and draw
conclusions consistent with the evidence. They can explain these conclusions on
the basis of their scientific knowledge and understanding, and evaluate how
strongly their evidence supports the conclusions.

General Marking Guidance

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the
first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.

Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for

what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.

Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be

used appropriately.

All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners
should always award full marks if deserved, ie if the answer matches the
mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the
candidates response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.

Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles
by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.

When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme
to a candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.

Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it
with an alternative response.
