    MARK SCHEME for the November 2004 question paper

    9700 BIOLOGY
    9700/03

    Paper 3 (Practical Test AS), maximum raw mark 25

    This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the
    examination. This shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It
    does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before
    marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will
    be recorded in the published Report on the Examination.
    All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
    candidates scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
    demonstrated.
    Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the
    Examination.

    CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

    CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2004 question papers for most IGCSE and
    GCE Advanced Level syllabuses.

    The threshold (minimum mark) for D is set halfway between those for Grades C and E.
    The threshold (minimum mark) for G is set as many marks below the F threshold as the E
    threshold is above it.
    Grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component.
