GCSE MATHEMATICS 8300/3H Higher Tier Paper 3 Calculator Mark scheme June 2020 Version: 1.0 Final *206g8300/3H/MS* MARK SCHEME – GCSE MATHEMATICS – 8300/3H – JUNE 2020 2 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 Examiner. 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.Glossary for Mark Schemes GCSE examinations are marked in such a way as to award positive achievement wherever possible. Thus, for GCSE Mathematics papers, marks are awarded under various categories. If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the mark scheme the same principles of marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods. Examiners should seek advice from their senior examiner if in any doubt. 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 for correct working following a mistake in an earlier step. SC Special case. Marks awarded for a common misinterpretation which has some mathematical worth. M dep A method mark dependent on a previous method mark being awarded. B dep A mark that can only be awarded if a previous independent mark has been awarded. oe Or equivalent. Accept answers that are equivalent. eg accept 0.5 as well as [a, b] Accept values between a and b inclusive. [a, b) Accept values a ⩽ value < b 3.14… Accept answers which begin 3.14 eg 3.14, 3.142, 3.1416 Use of brackets It is not necessary to see the bracketed work to award the marks
