2005 Jan MS PDF

This document contains the mark scheme for a core mathematics exam from January 2005. It provides the expected answers and marks allocated for each question on the exam. For question 1, parts (a) and (b) could earn up to 3 marks for calculating 16/3^2. Question 2(i) worth up to 4 marks for expanding and combining like terms. Question 3 worth up to 4 marks for using the quadratic formula to find the value of k. Higher value questions such as 4 and 9 test more complex skills like solving quadratic equations and finding gradients of curves.
