Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Human Biology – Sample Assessment Materials 1 Issue 1 – July 2016 © Pearson Education Limited 20162 Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Human Biology – Sample Assessment Materials Issue 1 – July 2016 © Pearson Education Limited 2016General marking guidance  All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.  Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.  Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.  All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.  Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive.  When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark is given.  Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response. Subject specific marking guidance Symbols, terms used in the mark scheme  Round brackets ( ): words inside round brackets are to aid understanding of the marking point but are not required to award the point  Curly brackets { }: indicate the beginning and end of a list of alternatives (separated by obliques), where necessary, to avoid confusion  Oblique /: words or phrases separated by an oblique are alternatives to each other and either answer should receive full credit.  ecf: indicates error carried forward which means that a wrong answer given in an early part of a question is used correctly to a later part of a question. You will not see ‘owtte’ (or words to that effect). Alternative correct wording should be credited in every answer unless the mark scheme has specified specific. The Additional Guidance column is used for extra guidance to clarify any points in the mark scheme. It may be used to indicate:  what will not be accepted for that marking point in which case the phrase ‘do not accept’ will be alongside the relevant marking point  it might have examples of possible acceptable answers which will be adjacent to that marking point Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Human Biology – Sample Assessment Materials 3 Issue 1 – July 2016 © Pearson Education Limited 20164 Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Human Biology – Sample Assessment Materials Issue 1 – July 2016 © Pearson Education Limited 2016Centre Number Candidate Number Write your name here Surname Other names Total Marks Paper Reference Turn over S53950A ©2017 Pearson Education Ltd. 1/1/1/ *S53950A0124* Human Biology Paper 1 Sample Assessment Material for first teaching September 2017 Time: 1 hour 45 minutes 4HB1/01 You must have: Calculator, ruler Instructions • Use black ink or ball-point pen. • Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name, centre number and candidate number. • Answer all questions. • Answer the questions in the spaces provided – there may be more space than you need. • Calculators may be used. • Some questions must be answered with a cross in a box .
