6.1 A mark given for axes requires both axes to be labelled with quantities and units, and drawn the correct way round.
6.2 Sometimes a separate mark will be given for units or for each axis if the units are complex. This will be indicated on the mark scheme.
6.3 A mark given for choosing a scale requires that the chosen scale allows all points to be plotted, spreads plotted points over more than half of each axis and is not an awkward scale e.g. multiples of 3, 7 etc.
6.4 Points should be plotted to within 1 mm. • Check the two points furthest from the best line. If both OK award mark. • If either is 2 mm out do not award mark. • If both are 1 mm out do not award mark. • If either is 1 mm out then check another two and award mark if both of these OK, otherwise no mark.
6.5 For a line mark there must be a thin continuous line which is the best-fit line for the candidate’s results. Qu ties on Nu emb r
