 MARK SCHEME – GCSE MATHEMATICS – 8300/2H – JUNE 2022

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.

1
eg accept 0.5 as well as
2

[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.

 MARK SCHEME – GCSE MATHEMATICS – 8300/2H – JUNE 2022

Examiners should consistently apply the following principles.

Diagrams
Diagrams that have working on them should be treated like normal responses. If a diagram has been
written on but the correct response is within the answer space, the work within the answer space should be
marked. Working on diagrams that contradicts work within the answer space is not to be considered as
choice but as working, and is not, therefore, penalised.

Responses which appear to come from incorrect methods

Whenever there is doubt as to whether a student has used an incorrect method to obtain an answer, as a
general principle, the benefit of doubt must be given to the student. In cases where there is no doubt that
the answer has come from incorrect working then the student should be penalised.

Questions which ask students to show working

Instructions on marking will be given but usually marks are not awarded to students who show no working.

Questions which do not ask students to show working

As a general principle, a correct response is awarded full marks.

Misread or miscopy
Students often copy values from a question incorrectly. If the examiner thinks that the student has made a
genuine misread, then only the accuracy marks (A or B marks), up to a maximum of 2 marks are penalised.
The method marks can still be awarded.

Further work
Once the correct answer has been seen, further working may be ignored unless it goes on to contradict the
correct answer.

Choice
When a choice of answers and/or methods is given, mark each attempt. If both methods are valid then
M marks can be awarded but any incorrect answer or method would result in marks being lost.

Work not replaced

Erased or crossed out work that is still legible should be marked.

Work replaced
Erased or crossed out work that has been replaced is not awarded marks.

Premature approximation
Rounding off too early can lead to inaccuracy in the final answer. This should be penalised by 1 mark
unless instructed otherwise.

Continental notation
Accept a comma used instead of a decimal point (for example, in measurements or currency), provided that
it is clear to the examiner that the student intended it to be a decimal point.

Additional Guidance

Condone incorrect use of equals signs throughout

eg interior angle = 12 – 2 = 10 × 180 = 1800 ÷ 12 = 150 B1B1

interior angle may be seen as angle ABC or angle BCD

exterior angle may be seen as angle CBN

It must be clear which angle they are working out

eg1 Do not accept 150 if it is not correctly identified or not in the correct
position on diagram
eg2 Do accept 150 if it is identified as an interior angle or angle ABC or is
in the correct position on the diagram

Do not accept incorrect statements

eg1 exterior angle = 150 (even if 150 in correct position on the diagram)
eg2 angle ACB = 150 (even if 150 in correct position on the diagram)

Ignore reasons for the first three marks

Angles on the diagram with no valid methods can score a maximum of

For the 2nd and 3rd marks the methods shown do not have to show
progression

Example of fully correct working for (i)

1800 B1B1
interior angle = = 150
12
angle BCN = 360 – 150 – 90 = 120
180 − 120
angle CBN = = 30 B1
2
150 + 30 = 180 angles on a (straight) line B1

Example of fully correct working for (ii)

360 B1B1
exterior angle = = 30
12
angle BCN = 180 – 2 × 30 = 120
interior angle = 360 – 120 – 90 = 150 B1
1800
interior angle = = 150 (interior) angle of polygon B1

Q Answer Mark Comments

(x – 9)2…  18 

allow  x −  …
M1  2 

may be implied by a grid for (x – 9)2

(x – 9)2 – 92 + 70 oe completing the square

2 2
or (x – 9)2 – 81 + 70 M1dep  18   18 
eg  x −  –   + 70
or (x – 9)2 – 11  2   2

(9, –11) with correct completing eg (9, –11) with (x – 9)2 – 92 + 70 seen
the square seen
A1
SC1 (9, –11) with correct completing the
square not seen

Additional Guidance

Allow (x – 9)2 to be (9 – x)2 throughout

Allow (x – 9)2 to be (x – 9)(x – 9) throughout

Condone expression = 0 throughout

29 (x – 9)2 = 11 with (x – 9)2 – 11 (= 0) also seen scores M1M1

Also scores A1 if answer correct

(x – 9)2 = 11 without (x – 9)2 – 11 (= 0) also seen M1M0

Answer correct would still mean M1M0 (or SC1)

Allow as a slip if completing the square seen but the squared is omitted in a
subsequent line
eg (x – 9)2 – 81 + 70 = (x – 9) – 11 M1M1
Answer (9, –11) A1

(x – 9) – 11 and answer (9, –11) SC1

(x – 9) – 11 and answer not (9, –11) M0M0A0

(9, –11) with no method or from a different method eg calculus SC1

x –9
Condone one of the products missing or incorrect M1
