Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations

OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of

qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications

include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals,

Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in

areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.

It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the

needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is

invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and

support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society.

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements

of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not

indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking

commenced.

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 should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report

on the examination.
