General guidelines on marking
Many descriptive answers can be expressed in a variety of ways. Professional judgement can be
used in these cases, providing it matches the marking points and further information in the mark
scheme.
Answers may have words spelt incorrectly. Credit is normally given for phonetically correct answers,
unless the word has a scientifically different meaning. For example, where the answer should be
antennae, credit will be given for antena but not for anthen (too close to anther).
Only the science is being assessed so answers do not need to be grammatically correct. Significant
figures will be indicated in the question or in the mark scheme.
Unless specified all marking points are independent.
Annotations and abbreviations
/ or alternate responses for the same marking point
( ) brackets the words or units in brackets do not need to be stated, for example, (recycles or
releases or provides) minerals = minerals scores the mark
Underline exact word is required
Accept an acceptable response
Do not accept indicates an incorrect response that would contradict another otherwise correct
alternative
Ignore indicates an irrelevant answer that is not creditworthy. Full marks can still be
achieved even with answers that are ignored.
Note provides extra information when necessary
ecf error carried forward; marks are awarded if an incorrect response has been carried
forward from earlier working, provided the subsequent working is correct
ora or reverse argument; for example, as mass increases, volume increases could be
written as mass decreases, volume decreases
