General guidance on marking

Mark scheme annotations and abbreviations

FT follow through after error

dep dependent
oe or equivalent
cao correct answer only
isw ignore subsequent working
soi seen or implied

Difference in printing

It is suggested that schools check their printed copies for differences in printing that may affect the answers to
the questions, for example in measurement questions.

Square brackets in mark scheme

When square brackets appear in the mark scheme this indicates extra information that is not required but may be
given.

For example:

Question Answer Mark Part marks Guidance

5 19.7 or 19.6[58...] 1

This means that 19.6 is an acceptable truncated answer even though it is not the correct rounded answer.

The ... means you can ignore any numbers that follow this; you do not need to check them.

Accept
• any correct rounding of the numbers in the brackets, e.g. 19.66
• truncations beyond the brackets, e.g. 19.65

Do not accept
• 19.68 (since the numbers in brackets do not have to be present but if they are they should be correct).

These tables give general guidelines on marking learner responses that are not specifically mentioned in the
mark scheme. Any guidance specifically given in the mark scheme supersedes this guidance.

Number and place value

The table shows various general rules in terms of acceptable decimal answers.

Accept

Accept omission of leading zero if answer is clearly shown, e.g.

.675

Accept trailing zeros, unless the question has asked for a specific number of decimal places or significant
figures, e.g.
0.7000

Accept a comma as a decimal point if that is the convention that you have taught the learners, e.g. 0,638

Units

For questions involving quantities, e.g. length, mass, money, duration or time, correct units must be given in the
answer. Units are provided on the answer line unless finding the units is part of what is being assessed.

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer 1.85 m.

Accept Do not accept

If the unit is given on the answer Correct conversions, provided the ......185...... m
line, e.g. unit is stated unambiguously, ......1850...... m etc.
............................ m e.g. ......185 cm...... m (this is
unambiguous since the unit cm
comes straight after the
answer, voiding the m which is
now not next to the answer)

If the question states the unit that 1.85 185; 1850

the answer should be 1m 85cm Any conversions to other units,
given in, e.g. 'Give your answer in e.g. 185 cm
metres'

Money

In addition to the rules for units, the table below gives guidance for answers involving money. The table
shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer $0.30

Accept Do not accept

If the amount is in dollars and $0.30 $0.3

cents, the answer should be given
to two decimal places For an integer number of dollars it $09 or $09.00
is acceptable not to give any
decimal places, e.g.
$9 or $9.00

If units are not given on the Any unambiguous indication of 30 or 0.30 without a unit
answer line the correct amount, e.g.
30 cents; 30c $30; 0.30 cents
$0.30; $0-30; $0 = 30; $00:30
Ambiguous answers, e.g.
$30 cents; $0.30 c; $0.30 cents (as
you do not know which unit
applies because there are units
either side of the number)

If $ is shown on the answer line All unambiguous indications, e.g. $......30......

$......0.30......;
$......0-30......; Ambiguous answers, e.g.
$......0= 30......; $......30 cents......;
$......00:30...... $......0.30 cents......
unless units on the answer line
have been deleted, e.g.
$......30 cents......

If cents is shown on the answer ......30......cents ......0.30......cents

line
Ambiguous answers, e.g.
......$30 ......cents;
......$0.30 ......cents
unless units on the answer line
have been deleted, e.g.
......$0.30......cents

Duration

In addition to the rules for units, the table below gives guidance for answers involving time durations. The table
shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Accept Do not accept

Any unambiguous indication using any reasonable Incorrect or ambiguous formats, e.g.
abbreviations of hours (h, hr, hrs), minutes (m, min, 2.30; 2.3; 2.30 hours; 2.30 min; 2h 3;
mins) and 2.3 h (this is because this indicates 0.3 of
seconds (s, sec, secs), e.g. an hour (i.e.18 minutes) rather than 30 minutes)
2 hours 30 minutes; 2 h 30 m; 02h 30 m
02:30 (as this is a 24-hour clock time, not a time
Any correct conversion with appropriate units, e.g. interval)
2.5 hours; 150 mins
unless the question specifically asks for time given in 2.5; 150
hours and minutes

Time

The table below gives guidance for answers involving time.

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer 07:30

Algebra

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer 3x - 2

Accept Do not accept

x3 - 2; 3 × x - 2 3x + -2 if it is supposed to be in simplest form

Case change in letters

Changes in letters as long as there is no ambiguity

Accept extra brackets when factorising, e.g. 5(x + (3 + y))

Teachers must mark the final answer given. If a correct answer is seen in working but final answer is given
incorrectly then the final answer must be marked. If no answer is given on the answer line then the final line of
the working can be taken to be the final answer.

Inequalities

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of various answers.

For the following Accept Do not accept

For 6 ≤ x < 8 [6, 8) <x<

For x ≤ -2 (- ∞,-2] x < -2

(3, ∞) Just '3' written on the answer line, even if x > 3

For x > 3
3<x appears in the working

Plotting points

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable ways to plot points.
