MARKING SCHEME

Markers are advised that unless a Task specifically states that an answer is demanded in a
particular form, then an answer that is correct, factually or in practical terms, must be given the
available marks. If there is doubt as to the correctness of an answer the relevant NCC textbook
should be the first authority.

This Marking Scheme has been prepared as a guide only to markers, and there will frequently be
many alternative responses which will provide a valid answer.

The candidates’ scripts must be fully annotated with the marker’s comments, where applicable,
and the marks allocated for each part of the Tasks.

Throughout the marking, please credit any valid alternative point.

Notice to Markers

Where markers award half marks in any part of a Task they should ensure that the total mark
recorded for a Task is a whole mark.
