(b)
Lea takes two science tests.

| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Any decimal between 0·61 and 0·62 exclusive | B1 |

|---|---|---|
| Converts each score to a common form to enable comparison e.g. \(\left(\frac{18}{25} =\right) \frac{72}{100}\) and \(\left(\frac{14}{20} =\right) \frac{70}{100}\) OR 72(%) and 70(%) OR 0·72 and 0·7(0) OR two correct amounts for a comparison | B2 | B1 for an attempt to convert both scores to a common form |
| First test or \(\frac{18}{25}\) indicated, with sight of both scores converted to a common form. | B1 | STRICT FT ‘their pair of values’ provided B1 awarded. Award B0 B0 for an unsupported correct answer of first test. |
