General marking guidance
These notes offer general guidance, but the specific notes for examiners appertaining to individual questions take precedence.
1 All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the
first.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded;
exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive. When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to
a candidate’s response, the response should be sent to review.
2 All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded; mark schemes should be applied positively. Examiners should also be
prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. If there is a wrong
answer (or no answer) indicated on the answer line always check the working in the body of the script (and on any diagrams), and
award any marks appropriate from the mark scheme.
Questions where working is not required: In general, the correct answer should be given full marks.
Questions that specifically require working: In general, candidates who do not show working on this type of question will get no
marks – full details will be given in the mark scheme for each individual question.
4 Choice of method
If there is a choice of methods shown, mark the method that leads to the answer given on the answer line.
If no answer appears on the answer line, mark both methods then award the lower number of marks.
5 Incorrect method
If it is clear from the working that the “correct” answer has been obtained from incorrect working, award 0 marks. Send the response
to review for your Team Leader to check.
8 Probability
Probability answers must be given as a fraction, percentage or decimal. If a candidate gives a decimal equivalent to a probability, this
should be written to at least 2 decimal places (unless tenths).
Incorrect notation should lose the accuracy marks, but be awarded any implied method marks.
If a probability fraction is given then cancelled incorrectly, ignore the incorrectly cancelled answer.
9 Linear equations
Unless indicated otherwise in the mark scheme, full marks can be gained if the solution alone is given on the answer line, or otherwise
unambiguously identified in working (without contradiction elsewhere). Where the correct solution only is shown substituted, but not
identified as the solution, the accuracy mark is lost but any method marks can be awarded (embedded answers).
10 Range of answers
Unless otherwise stated, when an answer is given as a range (e.g 3.5 – 4.2) then this is inclusive of the end points (e.g 3.5, 4.2) and
all numbers within the range.
14 Misread
If a candidate misreads a number from the question. Eg. uses 252 instead of 255; method or process marks may be awarded provided
the question has not been simplified. Examiners should send any instance of a suspected misread to review.
Guidance on the use of abbreviations within this mark scheme
P process mark awarded for a correct process as part of a problem solving question
oe or equivalent
sc special case
indep independent
(b) 2 M1 ft for identification of 2 or 9 or ft diagram Need not be written in correct form at this stage
9 eg could be a ratio 2 : 9
Repeated digits in the diagram should be counted
as 2 elements
A1 2 Accept any equivalent fraction, decimal form
oe or ft diagram
9 0.22(22..) or percentage form 22(.22…)%
(b) polygon B2 for fully correct polygon with points plotted at the midpoints Joining must be with line segments
drawn
(15,7), (25,13) (B1 for points plotted correctly but not joined by straight lines
(35,14), (45,12)
(55,16), (65,18) or joining points at correct heights consistently within intervals for example, at 10, 20, 30,…or at 20, 30, 40,…
including plotting at end values
Ignore any histogram drawn and any part of
or correct frequency polygon with one point incorrect frequency polygon outside range of first and last
points plotted
or correct frequency polygon with first and last points joined directly)

4 statement B2 Two different statements Ignore additional statements provided no
Acceptable contradiction
eg should be joined with straight lines (not curve)/should use a ruler
1st (quarter) not shown/plotted/labelled/not all quarters labelled
does not show all 4 seasons
9.5 missing from vertical axes/not linear
vertical (number) axis does not start at 0/the y axis starts at 6
the graph does not begin at 0, it starts at 6
it is not clear what 2, 3, 4 on the x-axis mean

there is lack of clarity about what the numbers on the x axis represent
graph is curved line
Not acceptable
eg no value plotted for 2 in 2016
it does not start at 0 (no reference to vertical axis)/missing 0
they should not have connected the dots like that
the numbers on the x axis are repeated
the numbers along the x axis 2, 3, 4
the years on the x axis have not been written properly
does not follow a sequence
it needs a discontinuity wiggle on the axis

eg (5 – 2) × 180 (= 540) they have divided the hexagon into two halves.
OR
for method to find angle AFC or BCF, eg (360 – 2 × 117) ÷ 2 (= 63) 63 may be shown on the diagram for angle AFC
OR or angle BCF
for dropping a perpendicular from A or B to ED with 90° marked on ED
and 27° at the top
M1 for method to use ratio 2 : 1 Ratio must be used correctly if awarded for
eg marks as 2x and x or as x and x on diagram diagram
OR
Award provided [angle sum of hexagon] is
for ([angle sum of hexagon] – 2 × 117) ÷ 6 (= 81) oe
greater than 700 or [angle sum of pentagon] is
or ([angle sum of hexagon] ÷ 2 – 117) ÷ 3 (= 81) oe greater than 500
or 117 + 117 + 2x + 2x + x + x = [angle sum of hexagon] oe Algebraic route needs to show both sides of the
OR equation.
eg ([angle sum of pentagon] - 117 - 180) ÷ 3 (= 81) oe LHS of equation may be simplified.
or 117 + 180 + 2x + x = [angle sum of pentagon] oe
M1 for finding angle FED = 81 or for finding angle CDE = 81 This may be shown by solving a correct equation
OR to find the value of x.

6 No P1 for finding the area of a circle eg π × 0.82 (= 2.01...) Must be area of circle and not part of a volume,
Supported eg πr²h
May be seen as 2πr²
P1 for finding the curved surface area eg 2π × 0.8 × 1.8 (= 9.047…) May be seen from 2πrh or from πdh
P1 for use of the coverage information with an area Accept numbers without working written to no
eg “2.01…” ÷ 5 (= 0.402…) or “4.02…” ÷ 5 (= 0.804…) less than 2dp
or “9.047…” ÷ 5 (= 1.8095…) or “11.058” ÷ 5 (= 2.2116..) Do not award if a volume has been used as part
or “13.069…” ÷ 5 (= 2.6138…) of the calculation.
OR
for process to find total coverage for comparison An independent mark for 5 ×7
eg 5 × 7 (= 35)
P1 (dep P1) for finding total surface area for 3 tanks [total surface area] must come from the addition
eg [total surface area] × 3 (= 39.2…) of two attempts at area, but not from volume.
OR
for complete process to find the number of tins needed for total area of 3
tanks eg “13.069”....× 3 ÷ 5 (= 7.84..…)
OR
for complete process to find coverage needed from each tin
eg “13.069”...× 3 ÷ 7 (= 5.6...)
C1 for conclusion “No” supported by accurate figures Clear statement that there is not enough paint
eg 8 tins or 7.84 ( > 7) or 39.2 > 35 or 5.6 (>5) supported by correct figures for comparison.
NB: 2.6 ´ 3 = 9 tins needed is inaccurate
8 or 7.84 tins is sufficient without restating the 7,
5.6 m2 is sufficient without restating the 5
but 39.2 and 35 are needed for comparison.
A statement of “No, 8 tins” alone gets 0 marks
without supporting working.

12 Explanation C1 for explanation eg needs to find 4th root or gives the correct answer of
2.828…
Acceptable examples:
He needs to find √64
It should be 2.8..(or 2√2)
It is not asking for 64 ÷ 4, it is asking what number to the power of 4 = 64
64 means the fourth root not a quarter of 64
64 means square root and square root again, not divide by 4
Not acceptable examples:
It should be 2
The expression is 64 to the power of
64 is not a of 64
