Scheme	Marks	Comments
A correct explanation that refers to the vertical scale e.g. ‘The scale does not start at zero, (so luxury hot chocolates sales are not double standard hot chocolate sales).’ ‘Standard hot chocolates are around 45 and luxury hot chocolate sales are around 55, (they are not double).’ ‘There are only around 10 ( to 15) more luxury hot chocolates.’ ‘It would be around 90 luxury hot chocolates sold and it’s just over 50.’	E1	Allow e.g. ‘The bars show that it is double, but the numbers don’t.’ Do not allow e.g. ‘The numbers on the scale are not equally spaced.’ ‘Gaps are not consistent (on the vertical scale).’ ‘Not an accurate (vertical) scale.’ ‘We don’t know how much of each was sold.’ ‘The chart doesn’t show how many were sold.’ ‘It doesn’t have many numbers.’ ‘The numbers are not clear on the scale.’ ‘Doesn’t show exact sales.’ ‘Vertical axis is wrong.’
