However, under no circumstances should it be given to students because they are likely to regard it as a set of model answers, Markers/teachers should therefore firmly resist students’ requests for access to this document, Our examinations emphasise the testing of understanding, the practical application of knowledge and the use of processing skills, Hence the use of model answers, of anything else which encourages rote memorisation, should be considered outmoded and pedagogically unsound. The Examinations Authority is counting on the co-operation of ‘markers/teachers in this regard.

It is very important that all markers should adhere as closely as possible to the marking scheme. In many cases, however, candidates will have obtained a correct answer by an alternative method not specified in the marking scheme. In general, a correct answer merits all the marks allocated to that part, provided that the method used is sound. In a question consisting of several parts each depending on the previous parts, marks may be awarded to steps or methods correctly deduced from previous erroneous answers. However, ‘marks for the corresponding answers should NOT be awarded. In the marking scheme, marks are classified as: “MP marks “A? marks Marks without ‘M’ or ‘A’ awarded for correct methods being used; awarded for the accuracy of the answers; awarded for correctly completing a proof or arriving at ‘an answer given in a question. 3. Use of notation different from those in the marking scheme should not be penalized. 4. In marking candidates’ work, the benefit of doubt should be given in the candidates” favour. 1A B 5.
