What examiners said
Nearly all candidates measured the line accurately but most were unable to convert this to an actual distance in kilometres. Most just used the scale to give the distance in centimetres 9 × 20 000 = 180 000 and hence scored the partial mark. A few who did attempt to convert often used an incorrect conversion method, for example 9 × 1000 or 180 000 ÷ 1000.

A majority of the better candidates were able to mark the position of S accurately on the scale drawing. Most others did not. Some candidates plotted a path for S that was on the correct bearing but not at the correct distance. Many varied and seemingly random incorrect positions for S were seen.

Relatively few candidates scored full marks in this question and these tended to be the higher scoring candidates overall. Many were able to draw the pairs of vertical and/or horizontal lines and some could draw the sloping line and hence scored 1 or 2 marks and occasionally 3 marks.
