How to use the markscheme. Each line ending in ✔ is one mark. Words in « » are not needed for the mark. A correct numerical answer with no working gets full marks unless a note says otherwise. ECF (error carried forward): you still get the mark if you used your own wrong answer from an earlier part correctly. Be honest: give a mark only if your answer has that point.
