MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2006 question paper

4024 MATHEMATICS

4024/01 Paper 1 maximum raw mark 80

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does
not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking
began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be
recorded in the published Report on the Examination.

All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.

Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the
Examination.

• CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2006 question papers for most IGCSE and
GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
syllabuses.
Mark Scheme Notes

Marks are of the following three types:

M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method
marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units.
However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention
of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be
applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant
quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the
formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M
mark can be implied from a correct answer.

C Consolation mark, sometimes awarded for an incorrect answer. In some

places it may be earned in the working.

• When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are
generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise.

• FT implies that the candidate has continued correctly after an error.

The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts:

AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to

ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid)

BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be
absolutely clear)

CAO Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no "follow through" from a

previous error is allowed)

CWO Correct Working Only – often written by a ‘fortuitous' answer

FT Follow through

ISW Ignore Subsequent Working

MR Misread

PA Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is

insufficiently accurate)

SOI Seen or implied

SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same
question)
