Revision materials, engage! Start your exam preparation right here with more OCR GCSE Maths past papers than you can shake a compass at.
If you are sitting OCR, all the publicly available papers are right here. You should aim to complete as many of these as possible. Papers 1, 2 and 3 are the Foundation Level papers and papers 4, 5 and 6 are Higher Level papers. Remember, Paper 2 or Paper 5 will be a non-calculator paper whereas the other papers are calculator papers.
On the mark scheme, you will see some abbreviations. It’s important that you understand these for two reasons: you need to be able to mark your work accurately but you also need to know what the examiners are looking for.
Let’s look at the different types of mark available.
M method marks
These are for a correct method, such as the grid method for multiplications.
A accuracy marks
These are for a correct answer. Unless the question requires you to show your working, the correct answer also implies the correct process or method.
B unconditional accuracy marks
These are marks purely for the right answer if there are no marks for the method or process.
All the other abbreviations are relatively self-explanatory. There is a table at the start of the mark scheme which explains each of them.
