Marking Scheme for Multiple Choice Questions

  • Maximum number of responses per question: Exceeding the maximum number of responses results in extra incorrect answers cancelling correct answers.

  • Marking for Correct and Incorrect Answers:

    • 1 correct, 0 incorrect = 1 mark
    • 1 correct, 1 incorrect = 1 mark
    • 1 correct, 2 incorrect = 0 marks (incorrect answers cancel out correct answers)
    • 2 correct, 0 incorrect = 2 marks
    • 2 correct, 1 incorrect = 1 mark
    • 2 correct, 2 incorrect = 0 marks

  • 3 correct, 0 incorrect = 2 marks

  • 3 correct, 1 incorrect = 1 mark

  • 3 correct, 2 incorrect =0 marks (incorrect answers cancel out correct answers)

  • 3 correct, 3 incorrect = 0 marks (all answers incorrect)

Marking Procedure for Calculations

  • Correct numerical answers receive full marks, unless "Show your working" is required.
  • Incorrect calculations: Process marks can be awarded for correct substitution/working, as indicated in the "Comments" column.

Errors Carried Forward and Consequential Marking
