It looks like NO moderation of the paper took place if one looks at sub-question 1.1.4 and 1.4. The mark allocation for 1.1.4 is 6 marks, for something that can be solved by inspection since 12/x+5 =1 implies that x =7 without any calculations. I am really concerned about the fact that this was a huge discrepancy on mark allocation. How can this be 6 marks?
With regard to 1.4, it should have been mentioned that "without using a calculator" as some calculators can take more than 10 digits keying in. I wish to bring to the attention of current and future examiners that researching and investigating various approaches to answering questions is of paramount importance for the best formal assessment in common testing.
