H240/02 Mark Scheme June 2022
5
• When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to 3 s.f. unless a different level of accuracy has been
asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
NB for Specification B (MEI) the rubric is not specific about the level of accuracy required, so this statement reads “2 s.f”.
Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
Candidates using a value of 9.80, 9.81 or 10 for g should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8
which is given in the rubric.
g Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
• If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
• If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less
complete.
• if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks
appropriately.
h For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the
scheme but following through from the candidate’s data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units.
This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate’s own working is not a misread
but an accuracy error.
i If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in
the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold “In this question you must show detailed reasoning”, or the
command words “Show” or “Determine”. Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong
answers with no supporting method score zero. If in doubt, consult your Team Leader.
j If in any case the scheme operates with considerable unfairness consult your Team Leader.

Sig figs: “0.348 (3 sf)” means “answer that rounds to 0.348”, ISW. eg 0.347652 = 0.35 scores A1, 0.348 = 0.35 scores A1, but 0.35 alone scores A0
Other forms for probabilities Allow eg 20% or 1 in 5, but not odds eg 1:4
