Instructions to Examiners
Abbreviations
M Marks awarded for attempting to use a correct Method; working must be seen.
(M) Marks awarded for Method; may be implied by correct subsequent working.
A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
(A) Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; may be implied by correct subsequent working.
1 General
Write the marks in red on candidates’ scripts, in the right hand margin.
Show the breakdown of individual marks awarded using the abbreviations M1, A1, etc.
Write down the total for each question (at the end of the question) and circle it.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked, and marks
awarded according to the markscheme.
It is not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) are often dependent on the preceding
M mark.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, e.g. M1A1, this usually means M1 for an attempt to
use an appropriate method (e.g. substitution into a formula) and A1 for using the correct values.
Where the markscheme specifies (M2), N3, etc. do not split the marks.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further working.
3 N marks
4 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets e.g. (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or if implied in
subsequent working.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is used
correctly in subsequent part(s). To award FT marks, there must be working present and not just a final
answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. sin 1.5 ), do not award the mark(s) for the final
answer(s).
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further dependent A marks can be awarded, but M
marks may be awarded if appropriate.
Exceptions to this rule will be explicitly noted on the markscheme.
6 Mis-read
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a mis-read (MR). Apply a MR
penalty of 1 mark to that question. Award the marks as usual and then write –1(MR) next to the total.
Subtract 1 mark from the total for the question. A candidate should be penalized only once for a particular
mis-read.
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. sin 1.5 ), do not award the mark(s) for the
final answer(s).
An examiner uses discretion to award a mark on the rare occasions when the markscheme does not cover the
work seen. The mark should be labelled (d) and a brief note written next to the mark explaining this
decision.
8 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question specifies a
method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme. If in doubt, contact your team
leader for advice.
Alternative methods for complete questions are indicated by METHOD 1, METHOD 2, etc.
Alternative solutions for part-questions are indicated by EITHER . . . OR.
Where possible, alignment will also be used to assist examiners in identifying where these alternatives
start and finish.

10 Accuracy of Answers
The method of dealing with accuracy errors on a whole paper basis by means of the Accuracy Penalty (AP)
no longer applies.
Instructions to examiners about such numerical issues will be provided on a question by question basis
within the framework of mathematical correctness, numerical understanding and contextual
appropriateness.
The rubric on the front page of each question paper is given for the guidance of candidates.
The markscheme (MS) may contain instructions to examiners in the form of “Accept answers which round to
n significant figures (sf)”. Where candidates state answers, required by the question, to fewer than n sf,
award A0. Some intermediate numerical answers may be required by the MS but not by the question. In
these cases only award the mark(s) if the candidate states the answer exactly or to at least 2sf.
If a candidate has drawn a line through work on their examination script, or in some other way crossed out
their work, do not award any marks for that work.
12 Calculators
A GDC is required for paper 1, but calculators with symbolic manipulation features (e.g. TI-89) are not
allowed.
Calculator notation
The Mathematics HL guide says:
Students must always use correct mathematical notation, not calculator notation.
Do not accept final answers written using calculator notation. However, do not penalize the use of calculator
notation in the working.
Where a candidate offers two or more different answers to the same question, an examiner should only mark
the first response unless the candidate indicates otherwise.
