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.
 PEARSON EDEXCEL GCE MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

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)
 Marks should not be subdivided.

3. Abbreviations

These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in the mark
schemes.

 bod – benefit of doubt

 ft – follow through
 the symbol will be used for correct ft
 cao – correct answer only
 cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the question to
obtain this mark
 isw – ignore subsequent working
 awrt – answers which round to
 SC: special case
 oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
 d… or dep – dependent
 indep – independent
 dp decimal places
 sf significant figures
  The answer is printed on the paper or ag- answer given
 or d… The second mark is dependent on gaining the first mark

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.

6. If a candidate makes more than one attempt at any question:

 If all but one attempt is crossed out, mark the attempt which is NOT crossed
out.
 If either all attempts are crossed out or none are crossed out, mark all the
attempts and score the highest single attempt.

7. Ignore wrong working or incorrect statements following a correct answer.

 General Principles for Core Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).

Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:

1. Factorisation

( x2  bx  c)  ( x  p)( x  q), where pq  c , leading to x = …

(ax2  bx  c)  (mx  p)(nx  q), where pq  c and mn  a , leading to x = …

2. Formula

Attempt to use the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).

3. Completing the square

2
 b
Solving x  bx  c  0 :  x    q  c  0, q  0 , leading to x = …
2

 2

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation

Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x n  x n 1 )

2. Integration

Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x n  x n 1 )

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.

Normal marking procedure is as follows:

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.

(2, 4) horizontal stretch taken from the x
B1
coordinates of the max/min point(s)
but with no contradiction if both
points are given. There should be no
change in the y coordinates. The
O (6, 0) origin does not need to be labelled.

Maximum at (2, 4) B1

Minimum at (6, 0) B1

The coordinates may appear on the sketch, or separately in the text. If a point on an axis
appears on the sketch it is not necessary to give both coordinates.
So, for example, 6 or (0, 6) on the x - axis would get credit, but if the answer is given in the
text (6, 0) is needed. If there is any ambiguity, the sketch has precedence.

(b) a = 1 or k =  4 One correct value B1
a = 1 and k =  4 Both correct B1
Note that these marks may be implied by sight of e.g. “f(x) – 4” and/or “(1, 0)”
Note that the answer to (b) often appears at the bottom of page 1
