Paper 2 Marking

Discussion in 'CP1' started by ActStudent2711, Apr 7, 2024.

  1. Hi,

    I'm a little confused with the marking in paper 2

    For example S2020 P2 Q1V (command verb is compare).

    My point: Option A should be cheaper as there are no management charges.
    Mark scheme: Option A should be cheaper as no management charges are incurred. However, have to consider the cost of the pension scheme's investment team/advisers researching individual companies

    The mark scheme awards 2 marks for the above point. Would my point be worth any marks, and if so how many?

    Thanks in advance!

    We break the solutions down into more detailed individual half mark (sometimes full mark) points in our ASET product, so that would be a better place to look to help with this sort of concern.

    General rule of thumb: if you get about half of what they are looking for, should be worth about half of what's on offer.
