Mark scheme
8300
June 2017
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and
expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark
schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of
assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination
paper.
GCSE examinations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievement wherever possible.
Thus, for GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under various categories.
If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the mark scheme the same principles of
marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods. Examiners should seek advice
from their senior examiner if in any doubt.
M Method marks are awarded for a correct method which could lead
to a correct answer.
Use of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed work to award the marks.

MARK SCHEME – GCSE MATHEMATICS – 8300/1H – JUNE 2017
Diagrams
Diagrams that have working on them should be treated like normal responses. If a diagram has been
written on but the correct response is within the answer space, the work within the answer space should be
marked. Working on diagrams that contradicts work within the answer space is not to be considered as
choice but as working, and is not, therefore, penalised.
Misread or miscopy
Students often copy values from a question incorrectly. If the examiner thinks that the student has made a
genuine misread, then only the accuracy marks (A or B marks), up to a maximum of 2 marks are penalised.
The method marks can still be awarded.
Further work
Once the correct answer has been seen, further working may be ignored unless it goes on to contradict the
correct answer.
Choice
When a choice of answers and/or methods is given, mark each attempt. If both methods are valid then
M marks can be awarded but any incorrect answer or method would result in marks being lost.
Work replaced
Erased or crossed out work that has been replaced is not awarded marks.
Premature approximation
Rounding off too early can lead to inaccuracy in the final answer. This should be penalised by 1 mark
unless instructed otherwise.
Continental notation
Accept a comma used instead of a decimal point (for example, in measurements or currency), provided that
it is clear to the examiner that the student intended it to be a decimal point.
