Read carefully 1 Check that the answer sheet provided is for Mathematics Higher (Section A). 2 For this section of the examination you must use an HB pencil and, where necessary, an eraser. 3 Check that the answer sheet you have been given has your name, date of birth, SCN (Scottish Candidate Number) and Centre Name printed on it. Do not change any of these details. 4 If any of this information is wrong, tell the Invigilator immediately. 5 If this information is correct, print your name and seat number in the boxes provided. 6 The answer to each question is either A, B, C or D. Decide what your answer is, then, using your pencil, put a horizontal line in the space provided (see sample question below). 7 There is only one correct answer to each question. 8 Rough working should not be done on your answer sheet. 9 At the end of the exam, put the answer sheet for Section A inside the front cover of your answer book. Sample Question A curve has equation y = x3 4x. What is the gradient at the point where x = 2? A B C 8 1 0

2008 Mathematics Higher Paper 1 and Paper 2 Finalised Marking Instructions

! Scottish Qualifications Authority 2008 The information in this publication may be reproduced to support SQA qualifications only on a non-commercial basis. If it is to be used for any other purposes written permission must be obtained from the Assessment Materials Team, Dalkeith. Where the publication includes materials from sources other than SQA (secondary copyright), this material should only be reproduced for the purposes of examination or assessment. If it needs to be reproduced for any other purpose it is the centres responsibility to obtain the necessary copyright clearance. SQAs Assessment Materials Team at Dalkeith may be able to direct you to the secondary sources. These Marking Instructions have been prepared by Examination Teams for use by SQA Appointed Markers when marking External Course Assessments. This publication must not be reproduced for commercial or trade purposes.

Mathematics Higher: Instructions to Markers

1.

Marks must be assigned in accordance with these marking instructions. In principle, marks are awarded for what is correct, rather than marks deducted for what is wrong.

2.

Award one mark for each bullet point. Each error should be underlined in RED at the point in the working where it first occurs, and not at any subsequent stage of the working.

3.

The working subsequent to an error must be followed through by the marker with possible full marks for the subsequent working, provided that the difficulty involved is approximately similar. Where, subsequent to an error, the working is eased, a deduction(s) of mark(s) should be made. This may happen where a question is divided into parts. In fact, failure to even answer an earlier section does not preclude a candidate from assuming the result of that section and obtaining full marks for a later section.

4.

Correct working should be ticked (! ). This is essential for later stages of the SQA procedures. Where working subsequent to an error(s) is correct and scores marks, it should be marked with a crossed tick ( or X! ). In appropriate cases attention may be directed to work which is not quite correct (e.g. bad form) but which has not been penalised, by underlining with a dotted or wavy line. Work which is correct but inadequate to score any marks should be corrected with a double cross tick ( ).

5.

The total mark for each section of a question should be entered in red in the outer right hand margin, opposite the end of the working concerned. Only the mark should be written, not a fraction of the possible marks. These marks should correspond to those on the question paper and these instructions.

6.

It is of great importance that the utmost care should be exercised in adding up the marks. Where appropriate, all summations for totals and grand totals must be carefully checked. Where a candidate has scored zero marks for any question attempted, 0 should be shown against the answer.

7.

As indicated on the front of the question paper, full credit should only be given where the solution contains appropriate working. Accept answers arrived at by inspection or mentally where it is possible for the answer so to have been obtained. Situations where you may accept such working will normally be indicated in the marking instructions.

8.

Do not penalise: working subsequent to a correct answer legitimate variations in numerical answers correct working in the wrong part of a question
2

omission of units bad form

Mathematics Higher: Instructions to Markers

9.

No piece of work should be scored through without careful checking - even where a fundamental misunderstanding is apparent early in the answer. Reference should always be made to the marking scheme - answers which are widely off-beam are unlikely to include anything of relevance but in the vast majority of cases candidates still have the opportunity of gaining the odd mark or two provided it satisfies the criteria for the mark(s).

10. If in doubt between two marks, give an intermediate mark, but without fractions. When in doubt between consecutive numbers, give the higher mark. 11. In cases of difficulty covered neither in detail nor in principle in the Instructions, attention may be directed to the assessment of particular answers by making a referal to the P.A. Please see the general instructions for P.A. referrals. 12. No marks should be deducted at this stage for careless or badly arranged work. In cases where the writing or arrangement is very bad, a note may be made on the upper left-hand corner of the front cover of the script. 13 Transcription errors: In general, as a consequence of a transcription error, candidates lose the opportunity of gaining either the first ic mark or the first pr mark. 14 Casual errors: In general, as a consequence of a casual error, candidates lose the opportunity of gaining the appropriate ic mark or pr mark. 15 Do not write any comments on the scripts. A revised summary of acceptable notation is given on page 4. 16 Throughout this paper, unless specifically mentioned, a correct answer with no working receives no credit.

Summary Throughout the examination procedures many scripts are remarked. It is essential that markers follow common procedures: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Tick correct working. Put a mark in the outer right-hand margin to match the marks allocations on the question paper. Do not write marks as fractions. Put each mark at the end of the candidates response to the question. Follow through errors to see if candidates can score marks subsequent to the error. Do not write any comments on the scripts.

The tilde. Use this to indicate a minor transgression which is not being penalised (such as bad form).

sin(x ) = 0.75 = inv sin(0.75) = 48.6

The double cross-tick. Use this to show correct work but which is inadequate to score any marks. This may happen when working has been eased.

Remember - No comments on the scripts. No abreviations. No new signs. Please use the above and nothing else. All of these are to help us be more consistent and accurate. Note: There is no such thing as a transcription error, a trivial error, a casual error or an insignificant error. These are all mistakes and as a consequence a mark is lost. Page 5 lists the syllabus coding for each topic. This information is given in the legend underneath the question. The calculator classification is CN(calculator neutral), CR(calculator required) and NC(non-calculator).
