General Marking Guidance

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must

mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark
the first.
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.
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/indicative content will not be exhaustive.
 When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the
mark scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner
must be consulted before a mark is awarded.
 Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.
 PEARSON EDEXCEL GCE MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for the paper is 100

2. These mark schemes use the following types of marks:

 M marks: Method marks are awarded for ‘knowing a method and

attempting to apply it’, unless otherwise indicated.
 A marks: Accuracy marks can only be awarded if the relevant method
(M) marks have been earned.
 B marks are unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M marks)
 Marks should not be subdivided.

3. Abbreviations

These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear
in the mark schemes.

 bod – benefit of doubt

 ft – follow through
 the symbol will be used for correct ft
 cao – correct answer only
 cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the
question to obtain this mark
 isw – ignore subsequent working
 awrt – answers which round to
 SC: special case
 o.e. – or equivalent (and appropriate)
 d or dep – dependent
 indep – independent
 dp decimal places
 sf significant figures
  The answer is printed on the paper or ag- answer given

4. All M marks are follow through.

A marks are ‘correct answer only’ (cao.), unless shown, for example, as A1 ft to
indicate that previous wrong working is to be followed through. After a misread
however, the subsequent A marks affected are treated as A ft, but answers
that don’t logically make sense e.g. if an answer given for a probability is >1 or
<0, should never be awarded A marks.
 5. For misreading which does not alter the character of a question or
materially simplify it, deduct two from any A or B marks gained, in that
part of the question affected.

6. Where a candidate has made multiple responses and indicates which response
they wish to submit, examiners should mark this response.
If there are several attempts at a question which have not been crossed out,
examiners should mark the final answer which is the answer that is the most
complete.

7. Ignore wrong working or incorrect statements following a correct answer.

8. Mark schemes will firstly show the solution judged to be the most
common response expected from candidates. Where appropriate,
alternatives answers are provided in the notes. If examiners are not sure
if an answer is acceptable, they will check the mark scheme to see if an
alternative answer is given for the method used. If no such alternative
answer is provided but the response is deemed to be valid, examiners
must escalate the response for a senior examiner to review.

Biologist’s model works well for t 12 and t 18 but appears to give an

overestimate for A (or does not work well) when t 24 and t 30
E.g.
 The biologist’s model appears to break down for large values of t.
This may be because the biologist’s model predicts values for A
which are greater than the total surface area of the piece of bread B1 3.2a
used in the experiment.
 The biologist’s results indicate an upper limit for A, but the
biologist’s model does not give an upper limit for A.
