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.
 PEARSON 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
 o.e. – 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 Further Pure 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 :  x    q  c  0, q  0 , leading to x = …
2

 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.
