Teacher’s Paper
Guidelines for the conduct of the Mathematics Examination – Mental Paper 1. Words written in bold should be emphasised. 2. Read, loudly and clearly, each question twice in succession, and then allow 5,
to 10, to 20 seconds as the test progresses through the three sections.
3. Access to rough paper for working out answers is not allowed. Any working on
the answer sheet, however, will not be penalised.
4. The questions should be read out in English and no code-switching/mixing is
allowed. Code-switching is permitted only for giving pupils instructions.
5. Before starting the test, read out the following instructions, using exactly these
words:
• I will read out each question twice. Listen carefully both times. You will then
have time to work your answer.
Se naqralkom kull mistoqsija darbtejn wara xulxin. Isimgħuni sew. Wara
jkollkom il-ħin biex tweābuha.
• If you make a mistake, cross out the wrong answer and write the correct
answer next to it.
Jekk tieħu Ŝball f’xi risposta, aqtagħha u ikteb ir-risposta t-tajba ħdejha.
You will not be allowed to ask any questions once the test has started.
Ma tistgħux issaqsu mistoqsijiet hekk kif it-test jibda.

Legend to Marking Scheme: c.a.o. correct answer only f.t. follow through –1 e.e.o.o. –1 for each error or omission Other guidelines: 1. No mark in the marking scheme is sub-divisible.
2. Even if no working is shown, a correct answer scores full marks.
3. Incorrect answers − even though nearly correct − score no marks.
4. Incorrect working or statement following a correct answer is ignored.
5. An answer or working that is crossed out and not replaced is marked as if it was not crossed out. If the answer or working is replaced then the crossed out answer or working should not be considered in your marking.
6. If the answer is copied from the working area to the answer area incorrectly, then the marks are awarded fully.
7. Misread loses only the final accuracy mark but f.t. may be allowed on subsequent parts. The method marks may still be earned provided that the part question is not oversimplified.
