General Marking Guidance
 All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they
mark the last.
 Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than
penalised for omissions.
 Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may
lie.
 There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
 All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if
the answer matches the mark scheme.
Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the
mark scheme.
 Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and
exemplification may be limited.
 When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must
be consulted.
 Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
 Types of mark
o M marks: method marks
o A marks: accuracy marks
o B marks: unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M marks)
 Abbreviations
o cao – correct answer only
o ft – follow through
 o isw – ignore subsequent working
o SC - special case
o oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
o dep – dependent
o indep – independent
o eeoo – each error or omission
 No working
If no working is shown then correct answers normally score full marks
If no working is shown then incorrect (even though nearly correct) answers score
no marks.

 With working
If there is a wrong answer indicated always check the working in the body of the script and award any marks appropriate from
the mark scheme.
If it is clear from the working that the “correct” answer has been obtained from incorrect working, award 0 marks.
Any case of suspected misread loses two A (or B) marks on that part, but can gain the M marks. Mark all work on follow
through but enter A0 (or B0) for the first two A or B marks gained.
If working is crossed out and still legible, then it should be given any appropriate marks, as long as it has not been replaced
by alternative work.
If there are multiple attempts shown, then all attempts should be marked and the highest score on a single attempt should be
awarded.
 Follow through marks
Follow through marks which involve a single stage calculation can be awarded without working since you can check the
answer yourself, but if ambiguous do not award.
 Follow through marks which involve more than one stage of calculation can only be awarded on sight of the relevant working,
even if it appears obvious that there is only one way you could get the answer given.
 Ignoring subsequent work
It is appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional work does not change the answer in a way that is
inappropriate for the question: eg. incorrect cancelling of a fraction that would otherwise be correct.
It is not appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional work essentially shows that the candidate did not
understand the demand of the question.
 Linear equations
Full marks can be gained if the solution alone is given, or otherwise unambiguously indicated in working (without
contradiction elsewhere). Where the correct solution only is shown substituted, but not identified as the solution, the
accuracy mark is lost but any method marks can be awarded.
 Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the question CANNOT be awarded in another
