Instructions to Examiners
Abbreviations
M Marks awarded for attempting to use a valid Method; working must be seen.
(M) Marks awarded for Method; may be implied by correct subsequent working.
A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
(A) Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; may be implied by correct subsequent working.
1 General
Mark according to RM™ Assessor instructions and the document “Mathematics HL: Guidance
for e-marking May 2018”. It is essential that you read this document before you start marking.
In particular, please note the following:
Marks must be recorded using the annotation stamps. Please check that you are entering
marks for the right question.
If a part is completely correct, (and gains all the “must be seen” marks), use the ticks with
numbers to stamp full marks.
If a part is completely wrong, stamp A0 by the final answer.
If a part gains anything else, it must be recorded using all the annotations.
All the marks will be added and recorded by RM™ Assessor.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked,
and marks awarded according to the markscheme.
It is not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) depend on the preceding
M mark(s), if any.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, eg M1A1, this usually means M1
for an attempt to use an appropriate method (eg substitution into a formula) and A1 for using
the correct values.
Where the markscheme specifies (M2), N3, etc., do not split the marks.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further working.
However, if further working indicates a lack of mathematical understanding do not award the
final A1. An exception to this may be in numerical answers, where a correct exact value is
followed by an incorrect decimal. However, if the incorrect decimal is carried through to a
subsequent part, and correct FT working shown, award FT marks as appropriate but do
not award the final A1 in that part.

Examples
3 N marks
4 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets eg (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or
if implied in subsequent working.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is
used correctly in subsequent part(s). To award FT marks, there must be working present and
not just a final answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer
FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (eg sin 1.5 ), do not award the mark(s) for the
final answer(s).
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further dependent A marks can be awarded,
but M marks may be awarded if appropriate.
Exceptions to this rule will be explicitly noted on the markscheme.
6 Misread
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a misread (MR).
A candidate should be penalized only once for a particular misread. Use the MR stamp to indicate
that this has been a misread. Then deduct the first of the marks to be awarded, even if this is an
M mark, but award all others so that the candidate only loses one mark.
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award
fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (eg sin 1.5 ), do not award the mark(s) for the
final answer(s).
–5– M18/5/FURMA/HP2/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
An examiner uses discretion to award a mark on the rare occasions when the markscheme does
not cover the work seen. In such cases the annotation DM should be used and a brief note written
next to the mark explaining this decision.
8 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme. If in
doubt, contact your team leader for advice.
Alternative methods for complete questions are indicated by METHOD 1, METHOD 2, etc.
Alternative solutions for part-questions are indicated by EITHER . . . OR.
Where possible, alignment will also be used to assist examiners in identifying where these
alternatives start and finish.
9 Alternative forms
10 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be allocated for giving the answer to
the required accuracy. When this is not specified in the question, all numerical answers should be
given exactly or correct to three significant figures. Please check work carefully for FT.
If a candidate has drawn a line through work on their examination script, or in some other way
crossed out their work, do not award any marks for that work.

12 Calculators
A GDC is required, but calculators with symbolic manipulation features (for example, TI-89) are
not allowed.
Calculator notation
The Mathematics HL guide says:
Students must always use correct mathematical notation, not calculator notation.
Do not accept final answers written using calculator notation. However, do not penalize the
use of calculator notation in the working.
Where a candidate offers two or more different answers to the same question, an examiner should
only mark the first response unless the candidate indicates otherwise.
