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.
General Instructions for Marking
1. The total number of marks for the paper is 75.
2. The Pearson 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 and can be used if
you are using the annotation facility on ePEN.
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. If you are using the annotation facility on ePEN, indicate
this action by ‘MR’ in the body of the script.
8. Marks for each question are scored by clicking in the marking grids that appear below each student response on
ePEN. The maximum mark allocation for each question/part question(item) is set out in the marking grid and you
should allocate a score of ‘0’ or ‘1’ for each mark, or “trait”, as shown:
0 1
aM ●
aA ●
bM1 ●
bA1 ●
bB ●
bM2 ●
bA2 ●
9. Be careful when scoring a response that is either all correct or all incorrect. It is very easy to click down the ‘0’
column when it was meant to be ‘1’ and all correct.

General Principles for Core Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).
1. Factorisation
2. Formula
Attempt to use the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).
2
b
Solving x 2 + bx + c = 0 : x ± ± q ± c = 0, q ≠ 0 , leading to x = …
2
1. Differentiation
2. Integration
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.
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.
