INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS

1. In order to maintain a uniform standard in marking, markers should adhere to the marking scheme agreed
at the markers’ meeting.

2. The marking scheme may not exhaust all possible answers for each question. Markers should exercise
their professional discretion and judgment in accepting alternative answers that are not in the marking
scheme but are correct and well reasoned.

3. The following symbols are used:

/ A single slash indicates an acceptable alternative within an answer.

* Step-mark (for questions involving calculations)

† Correct spelling required

4. In questions asking for a specified number of reasons or examples etc. and a candidate gives more than
the required number, the extra answers should not be marked. For instance, in a question asking
candidates to provide two examples, and if a candidate gives three answers, only the first two should be
marked.

5. In cases where a candidate answers more questions than required, the answers to all questions should be
marked. However, the excess answer(s) receiving the lowest score(s) will be disregarded in the calculation
of the final mark.

6. Award zero marks for answers which are contradictory.

7. Chemical equations should be balanced except those in reaction schemes for organic synthesis. For
energetics, the chemical equations given should include the correct state symbols of the chemical species
involved.

8. In the question paper, questions which assess candidates’ communication skills are marked with an
asterisk (*). For these questions, the mark for effective communication (1 mark per question) will be
awarded if candidates can produce answers which are easily understandable. No marks for effective
communication will be awarded if the answers produced by candidates contain a lot of irrelevant
materials and/or wrong concepts in chemistry.
