MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
MATHEMATICS 9164

1. Mark in red. Do not cross out or obliterate any work. Errors which determine
marks should be indicated by ringing or a cross or underlining, and omission
by A. Each page must have some indication that it has been seen, e.g. a tick
in the margin. Correct answers should be ticked. ln cases of particular
difficulty, comments written on the script may be helpful should the script be
reviewed at a later stage. Blank pages should be struck through to indicate
that they have been seen.

For a partially correct part of a question, exhibit the detailed marks, e.g. M1
A0 rn the margin at the point where the marks have been first earned. Please
give sufficient detail to allow your marking to be understood. For a completely
correct part, only the total mark for that part need to be given, in the margin.
Do NOT use subtotals (underlined or othenruise). The question total should
be ringed and placed in the margin at the end of the question. This totat
MUST equalthe sum of all the marks in the margin for that question and r,
should be entered against the question number in the question grid on the
front of the script. (Note: To facilitate administrative checks, please use the
Ieft hand margin of left hand pages).

lf a candidate's answer is in two instalments, indicate the carried fonrvard total


at the end of the first part by, for example,Q.and (1e brought foruvard total at
the start of the second instalment by, for eidlnplel$

The total mark for the paper should be obtained (a) by adding all the unringed
marks through the script (checking at the same time that all pages have been
marked) and (b) by adding the question marks in the grid in reverse order.
The two totals must, of course, tally.

3. Types of marks.

M Method of marks for a valid method; applied to the problem.


Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or
errors in units. However it is usually not sufficient for a candidate
just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote
the formula, the formula or idea must be applied to the specific
problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the
formula.

A Accuracy Mark, which c'annot be given unless the associated M


mark is earned (or implied).
r
2

B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of M marks.

Marks may not be subdivided, unless a special ruling has been made at the
meeting. Unless othenruise indicated, marks once gained cannot
subsequently be lost, i.e. ignore subsequent working. lf in genuine doubt,
give candidate benefit of doubt.

Note that dep. 81 means 81 awarded conditional on a previous *81 having


been awarded.

4. Answers with wrong or missing units, but which are othennrise correct, are not
penalized.

5. lf work is deleted and replaced, mark the replacement. lf work is deleted


without replacement, mark the deleted work provided that it is legible. For
two solutions offered, count what appears the more serious attempts or the
more complete attempt at the question. lf attempts are indistinguishable in
these respects, count the better.
\_
6. The symbol lA implies that the A or B may be allowed for work correcilyl
following on from previous incorrect results. otherwise, A and B marks are
CAO [Correct Answer (or results) Only] -differences in notation are of course
permitted. A and B marks cannot be earned by "correcf'answers (or results)
obtained from incorrect working. when the mark is awarded from an
intermediate result, it will be agreed at the co-ordination meeting exactly what
is acceptable. When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the
M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says
othenryise. Of course, in practice it may often happen that when a candidate
has once gone wrong, the work from there on is worthless so that no more
marks can sensibly be given. on the other hand, when two or more steps are
run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit
must be given.

7. For a genuine misreading, (of number or symbols) which is such that the
object and the difficulty of the question remained unaltered, mark according to
\e" the scheme but following the working. (A miscopy of the candidate's own
working is not a misread but an accuracy error). All M nrarks are available.
ln assessing whether to give A or B marks the candidate's own working must
be 'followed through'. Then deduct MR-O, 1, 2 according as the number of
'misread' A and B marks earned is 0, 1 -4, >4. lf the misreading makes the
question easier a further deduction E-? may be made at your discretion - this
can deduct from M marks.

8. Remember that the mark scheme is designed for incorrect solutions. Correct
solutions get full marks. Be alerf for correct but unfamiliar or unexpected
methods - often signalled by a correct result followirlg an apparenfiy incorrect
