Paper 1 (Written), maximum raw mark 40
This specimen mark scheme is an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners award marks. It only provides notes and does
not give detailed sample answers. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that take place
at an Examiners’ meeting before marking begins.
All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’
scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated.
