End of Year Mark Scheme
Mark scheme
End of Year assessments are 50 marks, so you should allow 55 minutes.
The following marks are awarded for each question.
B Unconditional accuracy mark (no method needed)
M Method mark awarded for correct method or partial method
A Accuracy mark (awarded after a correct method or process; if no method or
process is seen then full marks for the question are implied but see mark
scheme for more details)
ft Incorrect values may be followed through from one step to the next provided
that the correct method is seen in each step and the only errors are arithmetic.
This is shown in mark schemes by putting a number in inverted commas
