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.
• 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
 www.dynamicpapers.com

• Types of mark
o M marks: method marks
o A marks: accuracy marks
o B marks: unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M
marks)
• Abbreviations
o cao – correct answer only
o ft – follow through
o isw – ignore subsequent working
o SC - special case
o oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
o dep – dependent
o indep – independent
o awrt – answer which rounds to
o eeoo – each error or omission

• No working
If no working is shown then correct answers normally score full
marks
If no working is shown then incorrect (even though nearly correct)
answers score no marks.
• With working
If there is a wrong 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.
If it is clear from the working that the “correct” answer has been
obtained from incorrect working, award 0 marks.
If a candidate misreads a number from the question. Eg. Uses 252
instead of 255; method marks may be awarded provided the
question has not been simplified. Examiners should send any
instance of a suspected misread to review. If there is a choice of
methods shown, mark the method that leads to the answer on the
answer line; where no answer is given on the answer line, award the
lowest mark from the methods shown.
If there is no answer on the answer line then check the working for
an obvious answer.
• Ignoring subsequent work
 www.dynamicpapers.com

It is appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional

work does not change the answer in a way that is inappropriate for
the question: eg. Incorrect cancelling of a fraction that would
otherwise be correct.
It is not appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional
work essentially makes the answer incorrect eg algebra.
Transcription errors occur when candidates present a correct
answer in working, and write it incorrectly on the answer line; mark
the correct answer.
• Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part
of the question CANNOT be awarded to another.

Apart from questions 4, 10, 14ab, 15b, 19, 22, 23, 24 the correct answer, unless clearly obtained by an incorrect method, should be
taken to imply a correct method
Values in quotation marks must come from a correct method previously seen unless clearly stated otherwise.
