All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark
the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be
rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised
for omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to
their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme
should be used appropriately.
All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded.
Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the
answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared
to award zero marks if the candidates response is not worthy of credit
according to the mark scheme.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the
principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be
limited.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark
scheme to a candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.
Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of
QWC, are being assessed. The strands are as follows:

Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to penalise. This
does NOT mean giving credit for incorrect or inadequate answers, but it does
mean allowing candidates to be rewarded for answers showing correct application
of principles and knowledge. Examiners should therefore read carefully and
consider every response: even if it is not what is expected it may be worthy of
credit.
/ means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should receive full
credit.
( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark, but
helps the examiner to get the sense of the expected answer.
Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the actual word
is essential to the answer.
ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an earlier
part of a question is used correctly in answer to a later part of the same
question.
Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the mark.
Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for correct
words/phrases which are put together in a meaningless manner. Answers must
be in the correct context.

The curve must clearly start from the origin, rise to a peak
and then decrease, approaching the x axis without
crossing/touching it.
If the curve is concave at the start or rises at the end then
this mark is lost.
