 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.
 PEARSON EDEXCEL IAL MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for the paper is 125

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)
 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.

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 the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).

3. Completing the square

2
 b
Solving x  bx  c  0 :
2
 x    q  c  0, q  0 , leading to x = …
 2

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation

n 1
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x  x
n
)

2. Integration

n 1
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x  x
n
)
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.

M1 Uses the cosine rule, or otherwise to find AC. The rule, if stated, must be correct. If it is not stated it
must be of the correct form. Accept AC 2  10 2  82  2  10  8cos 65  AC  ..
It is possible to find AC by other methods, eg dropping a perpendicular from A to a point X on BC. For
M1 to be scored it must be a full method Eg A full method could be; find AX by using sin 65, BX by
cos 65, and CX by subtraction of BX from 8. The M1 is finally scored after an application of
Pythagoras' theorem to find AC.
A1 Accept answers rounding or truncating to AC  9.8... (km)

Alternatively they may set b 2 ...4ac with ... being  ,  ,  ,  or  with a  k , b  4 and c  k  2 .
A1 Correct (unsimplified) b 2  4ac . Accept 42  4k (k  2) oe. The bracketing must be correct.
In the alternative it is for 42...4k (k  2) with ... being  ,  ,  ,  or  The bracketing must be correct
dM1 Sets their b 2  4ac  0 with a  k , b  4 and c  k  2  42  4k (k  2)  0
In the alternative it is for just b 2  4ac with a  k , b  4 and c  k  2  42  4k (k  2)
A1* Proceeds correctly to the given answer k 2  2k  4  0 . You should expect to see the terms moved over
` to the other side of the inequality and a division of 4. Alternatively a division of 4 should be
proceeded by the reversal of the inequality. There is no requirement for these steps to be explained but
you need to check for sign errors which would be A0.
Special case: If they start with a  kx 2 , b  4 x and c  k  2 and proceed correctly they will score a maximum
of M1A1dM1A0*. Treat candidates who start with b2 - 4ac in a similar way.

But accept for special case 1,0,0 S  3  2 xl  2   2 x  2 x  or S  3  2 xl  2   2 x  3 x

M1 Substitutes S  960 into S  2 x 2 3  6 xl and attempts to make l or lx the subject of the formula.
Accept as evidence 960  2 x 2 3  6 xl  l  ... or 960  2 x 2 3  6 xl  lx  ...

B1 States that the volume V is V  x 3 l . The order of the terms is not important.

It may be implied by V  x 2 3  their l or V  x 3  their lx

dM1 Substitute their expression for l  ... (or lx  ... ) into their expression for V  .. to obtain an
expression for V just in terms of x. It is dependent upon the previous M having been awarded.
A1* This is a given answer. All aspects of the proof must be correct. V  160 x 3  x3
(c) For the purpose of marking parts(c) and (d) can be scored together
M1 For differentiating with at least one term correct and setting =0.
A1 160 3  3 x 2  0 . Accept awrt 277 - 3 x2 = 0

A1 x  awrt 9.6 . This appearing on its own is A0. Accept versions of x 

The question states that calculus must be used and a correct expression for must be seen.

dM1 Dependent upon the previous M, this is for subbing their answer to  0 in V  160 x 3  x3 to find

A1 V  awrt 1776
(d)
d 2V
M1 Either attempts to find the value of  6 x (or kx following a slip), and substitutes the value of x
dx 2
found in part (c),
d 2V
Or attempts the statement  6 x and states it is less than 0

A1 Either   6 x   0 when x=.., hence a maximum. Allow on any (positive) value of x found

d 2V

calculated) at the value of x found in part (c), and there must be a reason  d V2  0  and a conclusion,

hence a maximum.

Or also allow 2

hence a maximum.

There are alternatives using values of the gradient and values of the function.

Using the gradient

dV
M1 Attempts to find the numerical value of the gradient either side of the x value found in part (c)
dx
dV
A1  160 3  3 x 2 must be correct, it must be calculated either side, there must be a reason
dx
referring to gradient being +ve, 0 and –ve, followed by a conclusion, hence maximum

Using the function

M1 Attempts to find the value of V either side of the value of x found in part (c), and starts to compare
these with the value of V found in part (c).
A1 Correct numerical values Eg V9.60  1775.694, V9.61  1775.698, V9.62  1775.695 followed by a
reason which could include a sketch and a conclusion, hence maximum.
