GCE MARKING SCHEME

MATHEMATICS - C1-C4 & FP1-FP3

AS/Advanced

SUMMER 2012

© WJEC CBAC Ltd.

INTRODUCTION

The marking schemes which follow were those used by WJEC for the Summer 2012
examination in GCE MATHEMATICS. They were finalised after detailed discussion at
examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conferences
were held shortly after the papers were taken so that reference could be made to the full
range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming the basis of discussion.
The aim of the conferences was to ensure that the marking schemes were interpreted and
applied in the same way by all examiners.

It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the
same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conferences, teachers
may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation.

WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about these
marking schemes.

 GCE MARKING SCHEME

MATHEMATICS - M1-M3 & S1-S3

AS/Advanced

SUMMER 2012

© WJEC CBAC Ltd.

INTRODUCTION

The marking schemes which follow were those used by WJEC for the Summer 2012
examination in GCE MATHEMATICS. They were finalised after detailed discussion at
examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conferences
were held shortly after the papers were taken so that reference could be made to the full
range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming the basis of discussion.
The aim of the conferences was to ensure that the marking schemes were interpreted and
applied in the same way by all examiners.

It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the
same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conferences, teachers
may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation.

WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about these
marking schemes.
