USING THE MARK SCHEME FOR STRUCTURED PAPERS 

1. This mark scheme gives you; * an idea of the type of response expected* how individual marks are to be awarded* the total mark for each question* examples of responses that should not receive credit.

2. ; separates points for the award of each mark.

3. / means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should receive fullcredit.

4. ( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark but helps the examiner to getthe sense of the expected answer.

5. Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase/word is essential to the answer.

6. OWTTE (or words to that effect) and eq (equivalent) indicate that valid alternative answers (whichhave not been specified) are acceptable.

7. ‘Ignore’ means that this answer is not worth a mark but does not negate an additional correctresponse.

8. ‘Reject’ means that the answer is wrong and negates any additional correct response for that specificmark.

9. ORA (or reverse argument) indicates that the complete reverse is also valid for the award of marks.

10. ecf (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an earlier part of a question is usedcorrectly in answer to a later part of the same question.

MARKING 

1. Suggestion/explanation questions should be marked correct even when the suggestion is containedwithin the explanation.

2. Do not award marks for repetition of the stem of the question.

3. Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for correct words/phrases which are puttogether in a meaningless manner. Answers must be in the correct scientific context.

AMPLIFICATION 

1. In calculations, full credit must be given for a bald, correct answer. If a numerical answer isincorrect, look at the working and award marks according to the mark scheme.

2. Consequential marking should be used in calculations. This is where a candidate's working is correctbut is based upon a previous error. When consequential marks have been awarded write "ecf" next tothe ticks.

3. If candidates use the mole in calculations they must be awarded full marks for a correct answer eventhough the term may not be on the syllabus at their level.

4. If candidates use chemical formulae instead of chemical names, credit can only be given if theformulae are correct.
