Foundation June 2019 Paper 2 Q11
11 On a journey, Laura sees 30 vehicles.
Each vehicle is a car, a van or a lorry.
She draws this bar chart.
Make two criticisms of her bar chart. [2 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Any two of these criticisms Letters are used instead of words Gaps are different Bar heights do not add up to 30 | B2 | B1 for any one correct criticism ignore non-contradictory statements |
Additional guidance
| There’s no key | B1 |
| It’s not clear what C stands for / what type of vehicle it is | B1 |
| She’s only used first letters | B1 |
| Labels are wrong (insufficient – needs to specify which labels) | B0 |
| The bars aren’t evenly / equally spaced or are spread unevenly | B1 |
| The Van bar is too far away from the Car bar | B1 |
| The second gap is smaller | B1 |
| The Van bar is out of place | B1 bod |
| The \(x\)-axis is not evenly spread / spaced | B1 |
| The positioning of the bars is wrong | B1 |
| The bars should be 1 cm apart | B0 |
| Not distributed evenly | B0 |
| There are only 28 vehicles | B1 |
| \(14 + 4 + 10 = 28\) (not 30) | B1 |
| It doesn’t / they don’t add up to 30 | B1 |
| She is 2 vehicles short | B1 |
| She hasn’t drawn all 30 cars on the chart | B0 |
| 14 should be 16 | B0 |
| Number of vehicles should go up to 30 not 14 | B0 |
| Number of vehicles is wrong (doesn’t mention 30 or 28 or 2) | B0 |
| \(14 + 4 + 10 = 26\) not 30 (error seen) | B0 |
| Three criticisms, two correct and one non-contradictory | B2 |
| Three criticisms, two correct and one incorrect | B1 |
| Non-contradictory statements can be ignored eg The chart is too small and the vehicles don’t add up to 30 | B1 |
| The title is incorrect | B0 |
| The \(y\)-axis isn’t tall enough | B0 |
| She doesn’t give a time-frame / She should record colours | B0 |
| Both criticisms may be seen in one sentence eg The bars don’t add up to 30 and are spread unevenly | B2 |
