 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.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate
has replaced it with an alternative response.
 EDEXCEL IAL MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

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

2. The Edexcel Mathematics 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
• 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 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.

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 Core Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).

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

2
Solving x + bx + c = 0 : ( x ± b2 ) 2 ± q ± c, q ≠ 0, leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

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

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

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 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.

Allow if the coordinates are the wrong way round provided the positioning is correct. B1
The zeros are not needed as long as the expressions are correct (as above).
Allow if the correct coordinates are seen away from the sketch but they must be the
right way round in this case and must correspond with the sketch.
If there is any ambiguity, the sketch has precedence.

Part (c) General Guidance for Marking:

M1 is for their attempt at differentiating

A1 is for correct differentiation (in terms of k or follow through their k)
M1 is for e... or ke... or 1 + ke... in terms of N
M1 is for obtaining dN in terms of N
dt
A1 fully correct
