Core Non-Calculator Mark Scheme

Tuesday 5 November 2024

This is a suggested, not a prescriptive, mark scheme.

Full marks should not be awarded to answers unsupported by necessary working.
Marks should be deducted for mathematically incorrect working.
A maximum of 1 mark per question should be deducted for incorrect/missing units, up to a
maximum of 3 marks per paper. (Excluding explicit units questions.)
Credit should be given for good attempts and ideas.
