General Marking Guidance

at
hs
cl
ou
d.
All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first

co
m
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.

General Instructions for Marking

.m
ym
at
hs
cl
1. The total number of marks for the paper is 75.

ou
d.
co
2. The Pearson Mathematics mark schemes use the following types of marks:

m
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 and can be used if you are using the annotation facility on ePEN.

bod – benefit of doubt

ft – follow through
the symbol or ft 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)
d… or dep – dependent
indep – independent
dp decimal places
sf significant figures
The answer is printed on the paper or ag- answer given
or d… 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 affected 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. If
you are using the annotation facility on ePEN, indicate this action by ‘MR’ in the body
of the script.
 w
w

6. If a candidate makes more than one attempt at any question:

.m

at
If all but one attempt is crossed out, mark the attempt which is NOT crossed

hs
cl
out.

ou
d.
If either all attempts are crossed out or none are crossed out, mark all the

co
attempts and score the highest single attempt.

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

General Principles for Core Mathematics Marking

at
hs
cl
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).

ou
d.
co
m
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 correct formula (with values for a, b and c).

3. Completing the square

b 2
2
Solving x bx c 0 : (x 2) q c, q 0, leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

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

2. Integration
n
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x xn 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 mistakes
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

M1: Divides to obtain a quadratic quotient and a linear remainder. May divide by ( x 4) and then by ( x 3) or
vice versa to reach these but must be a full process.

A1: Correct answer. P 2, Q 5 May be awarded following an incorrect " ax 2 2" quadratic factor.
Alt:
M1: Multiplies though completely by the denominator and cancels the x 4 term.
M1: Complete process of comparing coefficients or substituting values to find a value for either P or Q
A1: Either P = 2 or for showing Q = 5* (must have seen a correct equation for Q)
A1: Both P = 2 and showing Q = 5* Note that Q = 5 is given so it must be shown from correct work, not just stated.
