Question 2

Candidate 1 - 9/9

Q2(a) - The candidate was awarded 6 marks because there are six valid points linking aspects of ergonomics to parts and uses of the bicycle.
e.g.

  • Arm length considered for distance between the seat and the handlebars.(1 mark)
  • Diameter of the handles suit the average hand size. (1 mark)
  • Leg length for the distance between the seat and the pedals. (1 mark)

All of these responses are correct and a further 3 marks are given.

Q2(b) (i) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because ‘different terrains’ is a correct response.

Q2(b) (ii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because the ‘chain must be able to be cleaned or fixed’ is a correct response.

Q2(b) (iii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because it states ‘it is more likely people will buy the bikes if they look nice’.

 

Candidate 2 - 5/9

Q2(a) - The candidate was awarded 2 marks because simply listing bicycle parts is an issue here, however when the response is read holistically there is enough for 2 marks.

Q2(b) (i) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because ‘find out what the best materials’ are is a correct response.

Q2(b) (ii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because ‘easy to clean’ is a correct response.

Q2(b) (iii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because finding out the ‘best colours and themes for each gender’ is a correct response.


Candidate 3 - 8/9

Q2(a) - The candidate was awarded 5 marks because the list method used is clearly giving 5 correct responses. e.g.

  • Seat moves for different sized people (1 mark)
  • Handle bars move for different sized people (1 mark)
  • Pedals grip all feet sizes (1 mark)
  • Brakes are easy to reach (1 mark)
  • Thin and light weight in case you need to carry it (1 mark)

The first response is not correct as it does not link the pedals to any body part.

Q2(b) (i) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because the issue of the bike lasting long is correct.

Q2(b) (ii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because the issue of people not being able to look after it with ease is correct.

Q2(b) (iii) - The candidate was awarded 1 mark because’ if it looks good’ people will want to get it is correct.
