OCR As Further Maths Paper 1 Algorithms 2025 Mark Scheme

Access the official OCR AS Further Mathematics B (MEI) Y413/01 Modelling with Algorithms mark scheme for the June 2025 examination series. This examiner-approved PDF contains the complete official solutions, marking guidance, method marks, and assessment criteria used by OCR examiners during the live 2025 AS Level Further Mathematics assessment.

The mark scheme covers key decision mathematics and algorithmic modelling topics including Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, minimum spanning trees, network flows, cuts and capacities, maximum flow-minimum cut theorem, graph theory, critical path analysis, linear programming, simplex algorithm methods, bin packing algorithms, and optimisation modelling questions. It also includes OCR-specific annotation guidance, mark allocation structures, and examiner expectations for method and accuracy marks.

This OCR Y413/01 June 2025 mark scheme is ideal for students preparing for OCR AS Further Mathematics exams, teachers conducting examiner-style walkthroughs, tutors supporting decision mathematics revision, and independent learners practising algorithmic problem solving. Use it alongside the OCR Y413/01 June 2025 question paper for realistic exam practice, self-marking, and understanding how OCR awards marks in modelling and algorithms questions.

Optimised for 2025 and 2026 revision, fully mobile-friendly, and instantly downloadable, this resource helps students improve exam technique, understand valid working methods, and avoid common mistakes in graph theory, flows, shortest paths, simplex tableaux, and network optimisation problems.

This document is designed for OCR AS Further Mathematics students studying the Modelling with Algorithms module within the OCR MEI specification, including Year 12 students preparing for the 2026 exam series, retake candidates, home learners, and students targeting high grades in decision mathematics and algorithmic modelling.

It is also highly valuable for mathematics teachers, tutors, sixth-form colleges, and revision centres using OCR Further Mathematics materials for classroom teaching, mock exam preparation, and mark-scheme-based examiner training. The resource supports structured revision in graph theory, network flows, shortest path algorithms, simplex methods, and critical path analysis.
