General guidance on marking

Mark scheme annotations and abbreviations

FT follow through after error

dep dependent
oe or equivalent
cao correct answer only
isw ignore subsequent working
soi seen or implied

Difference in printing

It is suggested that schools check their printed copies for differences in printing that may affect the
answers to the questions, for example in measurement questions.

Brackets in mark scheme

When brackets appear in the mark scheme this indicates extra information that is not required for the
award of the mark(s).

For example:

A question requiring an answer in grams may have an answer line: ……………………. grams

The mark scheme will show the word ‘grams’ in brackets.

These tables give general guidelines on marking learner responses that are not specifically mentioned
in the mark scheme. Any guidance specifically given in the mark scheme supersedes this guidance.

Number and place value

The table shows various general rules in terms of acceptable decimal answers.

Accept

Accept omission of leading zero if answer is clearly shown, e.g.

.675

Accept trailing zeros, unless the question has asked for a specific number of decimal places, e.g.
0.7000

Accept a comma as a decimal point if that is the convention that you have taught the learners, e.g.
0,638

Units

For questions involving quantities, e.g. length, mass, money, duration or time, correct units must be
given in the answer. Units are provided on the answer line unless finding the units is part of what is
being assessed.

The table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer 1.85 m.

Accept Do not accept

............................ m

unambiguously,
e.g. ......185 cm...... m (this is
unambiguous since the unit cm
comes straight after the
answer, voiding the m which is
now not next to the answer)

If the question states the unit 1.85 185; 1850

that the answer should be 1 m 85 cm Any conversions to other units,
given in, e.g. ‘Give your answer e.g. 185 cm
in metres’

Money
In addition to the rules for units, the table below gives guidance for answers involving money. The
table shows acceptable and unacceptable versions of the answer $0.30.
Accept
If the amount is in dollars and $0.30
cents, the answer should be
given to two decimal places. For an integer number of
dollars it is acceptable not to
give any decimal places, e.g.
$9 or $9.00
