MARK SCHEME for the June 2004 question papers
9696 GEOGRAPHY
9696/01 9696/02 9696/03 Paper 1 (Core Geography), maximum raw mark 100 Paper 2 (Physical Geography), maximum raw mark 50 Paper 3 (Human Options), maximum raw mark 50
These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. They do not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. 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. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination.

Grade thresholds taken for Syllabus 9696 (Geography) in the June 2004 examination. maximum mark available Component 1 Component 2 Component 3 100 50 50 minimum mark required for grade: A 61 31 33 B 57 28 30 E 39 20 21
The thresholds (minimum marks) for Grades C and D are normally set by dividing the mark range between the B and the E thresholds into three. For example, if the difference between the B and the E threshold is 24 marks, the C threshold is set 8 marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks down. If dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is normally rounded
