AUTHORIZED MATERIALS The following materials are permitted during the examination:
§ Calculators with or without graphic displays* § Writing instruments § Rulers
* Calculators with or without graphic displays designed mainly to perform mathematical calculations are authorized during official exams. Before the exam starts, data and programs stored in the calculator’s memory must be deleted. Calculators equipped with formal calculation software are not authorized for the exams. These models are allowed under the sole condition that the formal calculation functions are deactivated during the exam. Computers, tablet computers, electronic organizers and calculators with an alphanumeric keyboard (QWERTY or AZERTY) are not authorized. All calculator peripherals, such as instruction manuals and memory expansion devices, are forbidden. It is strictly forbidden to use memory expansion cards or chips, as well as data or program libraries. Communication between calculators is not allowed during the exam. Using a calculator containing stored data or programs will be considered as cheating. Students cannot share their calculators.

II nstructions for Marking the Examinationnstructions for Marking the Examination22
In order to determine what is expected of the students and to ensure a uniform understanding of the evaluation tools, it is suggested that teachers in each school form a marking committee to analyze the work of a sample of students.
Guidelines for correcting questions requiring an explanation, a justification, or a representation:
Analyze the student’s work and determine if it is appropriate.
• An explanation, a justification or a representation is appropriate if most of the elements of the answer are correct and if appropriate terminology or symbolism is used.
• An explanation, a justification or a representation is partially appropriate if:
Ø most of the elements of the answer are correctly indicated, but the terminology or symbolism used is not appropriate.
Ø some elements of the answer are indicated, and some of the terminology or symbolism used is appropriate.
• An explanation, a justification or a representation is inappropriate if most of the elements of the answer are incorrect or missing or if the terminology or symbolism used is inappropriate.
Guidelines for correcting questions requiring the use of formal mathematical solutions:
Step 1
Analyze the work to understand the procedure used by the student, and then decide if the procedure is appropriate or not.
A procedure is appropriate if most of the steps are relevant and could lead to the correct answer.
A procedure is partially appropriate if the steps presented do not lead to the correct answer, but include at least one step that is relevant and correct.
A procedure is inappropriate if none of the steps presented are relevant or if the student has not shown any work.
Step 2
If the procedure is deemed appropriate or partially appropriate, then evaluate the answer. If the answer is incorrect, identify the type of error(s) made.
The error is considered minor if it is an error in calculation or transcription, or if the unit of measurement is incorrect or missing.
The error is considered major if a law, rule, or formula has been applied incorrectly.
No marks are allotted for a correct answer when the procedure used is inappropriate, or no work is shown.

Note: Significant figures are taken into consideration in this question. Answer Team 1’s spring has a stored elastic potential energy of 1.7 J (significant figures). Team 2’s spring has a stored elastic potential energy of 1.2 J (significant figures). Marking Scale 4 marks Appropriate procedure and correct answer 3 marks Appropriate procedure, but incorrect answer due to a minor error, such as a calculation or
transcription error, or missing unit of measure or student did not take significant figures into account
2 marks Appropriate procedure, but incorrect answer due to a major error such as the incorrect application of a law, formula or rule (e.g.one spring calculated correctly)
1 mark Partially appropriate procedure (e.g. student calculated the force applied on the spring (kx) rather than the energy stored (½ kx2)
0 marks Inappropriate procedure, or did not provide a procedure, regardless of the answer

Note: Significant figures are not taken into consideration in this question. Answer The initial speed of the marble is 15.7 m/s.
Note: If the student neglects the potential energy of the marble at the bottom of the ramp,
the student may still arrive at the correct answer. In this case, the student should only be given 2 marks.
Marking Scale 4 marks Appropriate procedure and correct answer 3 marks Appropriate procedure, but incorrect answer due to a minor error, such as a calculation or
transcription error, or missing unit of measure 2 marks Appropriate procedure, but incorrect answer due to a major error such as the incorrect
application of a law, formula or rule (e.g. neglecting the potential energy of the marble at the bottom of the ramp OR neglecting to add 2.0 J of energy in determining the initial mechanical energy of the system)
1 mark Partially appropriate procedure (e.g. student solves for one type of energy) 0 marks Inappropriate procedure, or did not provide a procedure, regardless of the answer
