A-LEVEL Mathematics Further Pure – MFP4 Mark scheme 6360 June 2015 Version/Stage: 1.0 Final Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper Further copies of this Mark Scheme are

EE NMS PI SCA c sf dp mark is for method mark is dependent on one or more M marks and is for method mark is dependent on M or m marks and is for accuracy mark is independent of M or m marks and is for method and accuracy mark is for explanation follow through from previous incorrect result correct answer only correct solution only anything which falls within anything which rounds to any correct form answer given special case or equivalent or (or 0) accuracy marks deduct x marks for each error no method shown possibly implied substantially correct approach candidate significant figure(s) decimal place(s) No Method Shown Where the question specifically requires a particular method to be used, we must usually see evidence of use of this method for any marks to be awarded Where the answer can be reasonably obtained without showing working and it is very unlikely that the correct answer can be obtained by using an incorrect method, we must award full marks However, the obvious penalty to candidates showing no working is that incorrect answers, however close, earn no marks Where a question asks the candidate to state or write down a result, no method need be shown for full marks Where the permitted calculator has functions which reasonably allow the solution of the question directly, the correct answer without working earns full marks, unless it is given to less than the degree of accuracy accepted in the mark scheme, when it gains no marks Otherwise we require evidence of a correct method for any marks to be awarded of 14 MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL MATHEMATICS – MFP4
