    MARK SCHEME
    Maximum Mark: 50

    Published

    This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
    examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
    details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began, which would have
    considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

    Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
    Teachers.

    Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

    Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2016 series for most Cambridge IGCSE,
    Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

    IGCSE is the registered trademark of Cambridge International Examinations.

    This syllabus is approved for use in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as a Cambridge International Level 1/Level 2 Certificate.

    This document consists of 3 printed pages.
