 MARK SCHEME – FUNCTIONAL SKILLS MATHEMATICS – 8362/2 – SPECIMEN

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 learners’ 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 learners’ 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 Examiner.

It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further
developed and expanded on the basis of learners’ 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.

Glossary for Mark Schemes

Examinations are marked to award positive achievement.

To facilitate marking, the following categories are used:

M Method marks are awarded for a correct method which could lead to a correct answer.

A Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a correct method. It is not
necessary to always see the method. This can be implied.

B Marks awarded independent of method.

ft Follow through marks. Marks awarded following a mistake in an earlier step.

SC Special case. Marks awarded within the scheme for a common misinterpretation which
has some mathematical worth.

oe Or equivalent. Accept answers that are equivalent.

eg, accept 0.5 as well as 1
2

dep If a mark is given as ‘M1dep’ it means that if the values used for the mark are incorrect
a learner must have been awarded the previous mark(s) to gain this mark. However,
the use of correct values for this mark implies the previous mark(s).
eg
17 ÷ 2 or 8.5 M1

their 8.5 × 9 or 76.5 M1dep

eg1: a learner shows 17 ÷ 2 = 9.5, then 9.5 × 9 M1 for 17 ÷ 2 calculated, then M1dep
for correct use of the result of that calculation; a correct method has been shown for the
first mark, even though the result is incorrect
eg2: a learner shows 9.5 × 9 M0, as the first mark cannot be awarded because no
method has been shown
eg 3: a learner shows 76.5 M2, as the correct value gains the second mark and
implies the first mark.
