x All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
x Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what
they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
x Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
x There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used
appropriately.
x All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should
always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme.
Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidates response is
not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
x Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
x When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a
candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.
x Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an
alternative response.
x Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of QWC, are
being assessed. The strands are as follows:
i) ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuation and grammar are accurate
so that meaning is clear
ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to complex
subject matter
iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary when
appropriate

3 (f) When making up the solution of the iron(II) salt, another student, by
mistake, added too much dilute sulfuric acid to the graduated flask before
shaking the contents so that the total volume was over 250 cm3.
Explain the effect this mistake would have on the students volume of
potassium manganate(VII) solution used in the titration.
Question Question
Number
4 (b) (i) The student was told to add 20 cm3 of 4.0 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide
solution (an excess) to the methyl benzoate.
