authority and superintendence of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and
Queen’s Printer of Acts of Parliament.
This booklet contains the mark schemes for the levels 3–5 tests A, B and mental
mathematics. Level threshold tables will be available on the NAA website
(www.naa.org.uk/tests) on 25 June 2007.
General guidance

Additionally, for the mental mathematics test, general guidance on marking is given on
page 16, together with a ‘quick reference’ mark scheme.

idiosyncratic, will be accepted.

A two-mark question which is correct will have ‘1’ entered in both marking spaces.
A two-mark question which is incorrect, but which has sufficient evidence of working
or method as required by the mark scheme, will have ‘1’ entered in the first marking
space and ‘0’ in the second. Otherwise ‘0’ will be entered in both marking spaces.
For the written tests, the total number of marks gained on each double page will be
written in the space at the bottom of the right-hand page. For all of the tests, the total
number of marks gained on each paper will be recorded on the front of the test paper,
and on the mark sheet.
Test A carries a total of 40 marks. Test B also carries a total of 40 marks. The mental
mathematics test carries a total of 20 marks.
The 2007 key stage 2 mathematics tests and mark schemes were developed by the
Test Development Team at Edexcel on behalf of QCA.

Note
If a pupil leaves the answer box empty but writes the answer elsewhere on the page,
then that answer must be consistent with the units given in the answer box and the
conditions listed above.
If a pupil changes the unit given in the answer box, then their answer must be
equivalent to the correct answer using the unit they have chosen, unless otherwise
indicated in the mark scheme.

Please note that pupils will not be penalised if they record any information given in
the question or show their working. Markers will ignore any annotation, even if in the
answer space, and mark only the answer. Markers will accept an unambiguous answer
written in the stimulus box, or elsewhere on the page.
Full mark scheme information is given on page 18. In addition, a ‘quick reference’
mark scheme is provided on page 17. This is presented in a similar format to the pupil’s
answer sheet.
General guidance
The general guidance for marking the written tests also applies to marking the mental
mathematics test. In addition, the following principles apply.
1. Unless stated otherwise in the mark scheme, accept answers written in words, or
a combination of words and figures.
2. Where units are specified, they are given on the answer sheet. Pupils are not
penalised for writing in the units again.
3. Where answers are required to be ringed, do not accept if more than one answer is
ringed, unless it is clear which is the pupil’s intended answer. Accept also any other
way of indicating the correct answer, eg underlining.
