MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL FURTHER MATHEMATICS – 7367/2 – JUNE 2024
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the
relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments
made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which
was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme
covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in
the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of
students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and
S
legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which
have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Examiner.
C
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed
and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future
TI
mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding
principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a
particular examination paper.
A
No student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to
the gender identity of others in their exam responses.
EM
A consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will be
credited in exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.

Mark scheme instructions to examiners
General
The mark scheme for each question shows:
S
• the marks available for each part of the question
• the total marks available for the question
• marking instructions that indicate when marks should be awarded or withheld including the
C
principle on which each mark is awarded. Information is included to help the examiner make his
or her judgement and to delineate what is creditworthy from that not worthy of credit
TI
• a typical solution. This response is one we expect to see frequently. However credit must be
given on the basis of the marking instructions.
A
If a student uses a method which is not explicitly covered by the marking instructions the same
principles of marking should be applied. Credit should be given to any valid methods. Examiners
should seek advice from their senior examiner if in any doubt.
EM
Key to mark types
M mark is for method
R mark is for reasoning
TH
A mark is dependent on M marks and is for accuracy
B mark is independent of M marks and is for method and accuracy
E mark is for explanation
A
F follow through from previous incorrect result
M
Key to mark scheme abbreviations
CAO correct answer only
ER
CSO correct solution only
ft follow through from previous incorrect result
‘their’ indicates that credit can be given from previous incorrect result
AWFW anything which falls within
TH
AWRT anything which rounds to
ACF any correct form
AG answer given
R
SC special case
OE or equivalent
FU
NMS no method shown
PI possibly implied
sf significant figure(s)
dp decimal place(s)
