Mark scheme notes
Underlying principle
The mark scheme will clearly indicate the concept that is being rewarded, backed up by examples. It is not a set of model answers.
For example:
(iii)
Horizontal force of hinge on table top
66.3 (N) or 66 (N) and correct indication of direction [no ue]
[Some examples of direction: acting from right (to left) / to the left / West
/ opposite direction to horizontal. May show direction by arrow. Do not accept a minus sign in front of number as direction.]
1
This has a clear statement of the principle for awarding the mark, supported by some examples illustrating acceptable boundaries.
