Mechanic guidance:
• For M marks, correct number of terms, dimensionally correct, all terms that need
resolving are resolved.
• Omission of g from a resolution is an accuracy error, not a method error.
• Omission of mass from a resolution is a method error.
• Omission of a length from a moments equation is a method error.
• Where there is only one method mark for a question or part of a question, this is for a
complete method.
• Omission of units is not (usually) counted as an error.
• Use of 9.81 for g is a rubric error. Deduct the final A1 from the first part of any
question affected.
• More than 3 sf in an answer using an approximation for g is an accuracy error. Deduct
the final A1 from the first part of any question affected.
• A dimensionally incorrect equation is a method error unless a correct equation was
quoted and the error arises from a slip in substitution of values.
• For a misread which does not alter the character of a question or materially simplify it,
all marks in that part of the question affected become ft. Deduct the first 2 A or B
marks gained as a result and give the rest.

General Marking Guidance
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)
3. Abbreviations
These are some of the marking abbreviations that will appear in the mark
scheme
• ft – follow through
• awrt – answers which round to
• oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
• isw – ignore subsequent working
• cao – correct answer only
• cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the
question to obtain this mark
• SC: special case
