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.
PEARSON EDEXCEL IAL MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for this paper is 75.

2. The Edexcel Mathematics mark schemes use the following types of marks:

‘M’ marks
These are marks given for a correct method or an attempt at a correct method. In Mechanics
they are usually awarded for the application of some mechanical principle to produce an
equation.
e.g. resolving in a particular direction, taking moments about a point, applying a suvat
equation, applying the conservation of momentum principle etc.
The following criteria are usually applied to the equation.

To earn the M mark, the equation

(i) should have the correct number of terms
(ii) be dimensionally correct i.e. all the terms need to be dimensionally correct
e.g. in a moments equation, every term must be a ‘force x distance’ term or ‘mass x distance’, if
we allow them to cancel ‘g’ s.
For a resolution, all terms that need to be resolved (multiplied by sin or cos) must be resolved
to earn the M mark.

M marks are sometimes dependent (DM) on previous M marks having been earned.
e.g. when two simultaneous equations have been set up by, for example, resolving in two
directions and there is then an M mark for solving the equations to find a particular quantity –
this M mark is often dependent on the two previous M marks having been earned.

‘A’ marks
These are dependent accuracy (or sometimes answer) marks and can only be awarded if the
previous M mark has been earned. e.g. M0 A1 is impossible.

‘B’ marks
These are independent accuracy marks where there is no method (e.g. often given for a
comment or for a graph).

A few of the A and B marks may be f.t. – follow through – marks.

3. General 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
• oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
• dep – dependent
• indep – independent
• dp – decimal places
• sf – significant figures
•  – The answer is printed on the paper
• – The second mark is dependent on gaining the first mark

4. All 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 are treated as A ft, but manifestly absurd answers
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. If a candidate makes more than one attempt at any question:

• If all but one attempt is crossed out, mark the attempt which is NOT crossed
out.
• If either all attempts are crossed out or none are crossed out, mark all the
attempts and score the highest single attempt.

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

General Principles for Pure Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general priniciples)

Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:

1. Factorisation
(𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐) = (𝑥 + 𝑝)(𝑥 + 𝑞), where |𝑝𝑞| = |𝑐| leading to 𝑥 = …
(𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐) = (𝑚𝑥 + 𝑝)(𝑛𝑥 + 𝑞), where |𝑝𝑞| = |𝑐| and |𝑚𝑛| = |𝑎| leading to 𝑥 = …
2. Formula
Attempt to use the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).
3. Completing the square
𝑏 2
Solving 𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0: (𝑥 ± ) ± 𝑞 ± 𝑐 = 0, 𝑞 ≠ 0, leading to 𝑥 = …
2

Method mark for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. (𝑥 𝑛 → 𝑥 𝑛−1 )

2. Integration
Power of at least one term increased by 1. (𝑥 𝑛 → 𝑥 𝑛+1 )

Use of a formula
Where a method involves using a formula that has been learnt, the advice given in recent
examiners’ reports is that the formula should be quoted first.

Normal marking procedure is as follows:

Method mark for quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are small errors
in the substitution of values. Where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by
implication from correct working with values but may be lost if there is any mistake in the working.

Exact answers
Examiners’ reports have emphasised that where, for example, an exact answer is asked for, or
working with surds is clearly required, marks will normally be lost if the candidate resorts to using
rounded decimals.

Answers without working

The rubric says that these may not gain full credit. Individual mark schemes will give details of what
happens in particular cases. General policy is that if it could be done “in your head”, detailed
working would not be required. Most candidates do show working, but there are occasional
awkward cases and if the mark scheme does not cover this, please contact your team leader for
advice.

If this is attempted via simultaneous equations the mark is scored when the candidate reaches m = 0.3125

Main Method: Starting with their log10 y = mx + c

Allow for k = 10 ''1.5''

A1: Correct equation produced, y = 31.6  2.05x , and no errors seen.
Condone correct working followed by k = 31.6, b = 2.05 with the equation being implied
cso ....the values must be 31.6 and 2.05, not values rounding to these numbers or exact values like 10 10 .
Note: A solution may be fudged from working similar to the following
mx c x x
log10 y = mx + c  y = 10 + 10  y = 31.6 + 2.05  y = 31.6  2.05
This will score Special case: M0 M1 A0
x
Alternative Method: Starting with y = kb
M1: Takes logs of both sides and applies at least one correct log law
e.g. log (10) kb x = log (10) k + log (10) b x , log (10) b x = x log(10) b
M1: ''Correct'' strategy to obtain values for k and b from their y = mx + c
c m
So log10 k = '' c ''  k = 10 and log10 b = '' m ''  b = 10
A1: Correct equation produced y = 31.6  2.05x and no errors seen.
Condone correct working followed by k = 31.6, b = 2.05 with the equation being implied
cso ....the values must be 31.6 and 2.05, not values rounding to these numbers.
Correct answers for k and b without any working scores M0 M1 A0. Instructions on the paper state that they
should show sufficient working to make their method clear.

(b)
M1: Attempts to solve one correct equation. It must be an equation without moduli and be found correctly
For example, look for
• Either taking both positive aspects of the modulus equation 3x − 5a − 2a = x − 2a
So 3x − 5a − 2a = x − 2a or exact equivalent such as 3x − 7a = x − 2a  x = ...
Condone for this mark  a = ...
• Or taking both negative aspects of the modulus equation 3x − 5a − 2a = x − 2a
So −3x + 5a − 2a = − x + 2a or exact equivalent such as −3x + 3a = − x + 2a  x = ...
Condone for this mark  a = ...
The 2a may be moved over first so it is possible to solve 3x − 5a = x − 2a + 2a
So both positive will give an equation 3x − 5a = x − 2a + 2a or 3x − 5a = x
or both negative would give −3x + 5a = − x + 2a + 2a or −3x + 5a = − x + 4a
A1: One correct value of x which must be found from a correctly produced equation
dM1: Attempts to solve both of these equations.
There may be other equations which should be ignored for this mark
A1: Both correct values of x (coming from correct equations) with no other values given.
Also allow if 4 answers are found, for example, followed by the 2 correct answers being chosen and the other 2
