Igcse Math Summer 2009 Paper 2 Mark Scheme
Igcse Math Summer 2009 Paper 2 Mark Scheme
As part of CIE’s continual commitment to maintaining best practice in assessment, CIE has begun to use
different variants of some question papers for our most popular assessments with extremely large and
widespread candidature, The question papers are closely related and the relationships between them have
been thoroughly established using our assessment expertise. All versions of the paper give assessment of
equal standard.
The content assessed by the examination papers and the type of questions are unchanged.
This change means that for this component there are now two variant Question Papers, Mark Schemes and
Principal Examiner’s Reports where previously there was only one. For any individual country, it is intended
that only one variant is used. This document contains both variants which will give all Centres access to
even more past examination material than is usually the case.
The diagram shows the relationship between the Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal Examiner’s
Reports.

Examiner’s Report
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 must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
• CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2009 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.
