MARK
SCHEME

8454.01F

GCE Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Mathematics

Introduction
The mark scheme normally provides the most popular solution to each question. Other solutions given
by candidates are evaluated and credit given as appropriate; these alternative methods are not usually
illustrated in the published mark scheme.
The marks awarded for each question are shown in the right-hand column and they are prefixed by the
letters M, W and MW as appropriate. The key to the mark scheme is given below:
M

indicates marks for correct method.

indicates marks for working.

MW indicates marks for combined method and working.

The solution to a question gains marks for correct method and marks for an accurate working based on
this method. Where the method is not correct no marks can be given.
A later part of a question may require a candidate to use an answer obtained from an earlier part of the
same question. A candidate who gets the wrong answer to the earlier part and goes on to the later part is
naturally unaware that the wrong data is being used and is actually undertaking the solution of a parallel
problem from the point at which the error occurred. If such a candidate continues to apply correct method,
then the candidates individual working must be followed through from the error. If no further errors are
made, then the candidate is penalised only for the initial error. Solutions containing two or more working
or transcription errors are treated in the same way. This process is usually referred to as follow-through
marking and allows a candidate to gain credit for that part of a solution which follows a working or
transcription error.
Positive marking:
It is our intention to reward candidates for any demonstration of relevant knowledge, skills or
understanding. For this reason we adopt a policy of following through their answers, that is, having
penalised a candidate for an error, we mark the succeeding parts of the question using the candidates
value or answers and award marks accordingly.
Some common examples of this occur in the following cases:
(a) a numerical error in one entry in a table of values might lead to several answers being incorrect, but
these might not be essentially separate errors;
(b) readings taken from candidates inaccurate graphs may not agree with the answers expected but
might be consistent with the graphs drawn.
When the candidate misreads a question in such a way as to make the question easier only a proportion of
the marks will be available (based on the professional judgement of the examining team).
