MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2010 question paper

for the guidance of teachers
9709 MATHEMATICS
9709/11
Paper 11, maximum raw mark 75
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Mark Scheme Notes

Marks are of the following three types:
M
Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are
not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not
usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or
just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in
hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application
of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some
cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer.
Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained.
Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or
implied).
Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks.
When a part of a question has two or more method steps, the M marks are generally
independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly when there are
several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a
particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B (asterisked) mark in the scheme.
When two or more steps are run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and
full credit is given.
The symbol implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on
from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only.
A and B marks are not given for fortuitously correct answers or results obtained from
incorrect working.
Note:
B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0.

B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2.
The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt
whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt.
Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong
working following a correct form of answer is ignored.
Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the
scheme specifically indicates otherwise.
For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s.f.,
or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated
above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from
incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B marks for correct answers which
arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of 10.

The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts:
AEF
Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable)
AG
Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that
the detailed working leading to the result is valid)
BOD
Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be absolutely
clear)
CAO
Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no follow through from a previous error
is allowed)
CWO
Correct Working Only often written by a fortuitous answer
ISW
Ignore Subsequent Working
MR
Misread
PA
Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is insufficiently

accurate)
SOS
See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same question)
SR
Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution, or a
case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a
particular circumstance)
Penalties
MR 1
A penalty of MR 1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or

part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty of the question
remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become follow through
marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures this is
regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR2 penalty may be applied in particular
cases if agreed at the coordination meeting.
PA 1
This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The

PA 1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.

sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to
quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand,
e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a
formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some
implied).
When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are generally
The symbol implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following
on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only.
A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or results obtained from
incorrect working.
Note:

The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether
a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt. Unless
otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working
following a correct form of answer is ignored.

A penalty of MR -1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or

regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR-2 penalty may be applied in particular
