Introduction
This booklet contains the mark schemes for the lower tier test (Test C) and the higher tiers tests (Tests A and B). The pupil answer sheets will be marked by external markers who will follow the mark schemes in this booklet, which are provided here for teachers’ reference.
General guidance for markers
Please note that pupils should not be penalised if they record any information given in the question or show their working. Ignore any annotation, even if in the answer space, and mark only the answer. Accept an unambiguous answer written in the stimulus box, or elsewhere on the page, but clearly attributable to the relevant question.
General guidance for marking the written tests also applies to marking the mental mathematics tests. In addition, please apply the following principles unless specifi c instructions to the contrary are given in the mark scheme:
accept responses in words and/or fi gures,eg 7 point 3, 4 hundred
accept any unambiguous indication of the correct response from a given list,eg circling, ticking, underlining
accept unambiguous misspellings
accept units that have been correctly converted to a different unit provided the new unit is indicated. Where units have been given on the answer sheet, do not penalise pupils for writing the units again
accept responses with commas as spacers,eg 50,000
but do not accept a point used as a spacer, eg 50.000
