Mark Schemes

The official mark schemes explain how Cambridge examiners award marks and identify acceptable answers, key terms, alternative responses, and responses that should not receive credit. They should be studied alongside the corresponding question papers.

For example, the May/June 2023 Paper 2 mark scheme states that it should be read together with the question paper and Principal Examiner Report for Teachers.
