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
candidates 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 candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.
- Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.
- Types of mark
o M marks: method marks
o A marks: accuracy marks
o B marks: unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M
marks)
- Abbreviations
o cao correct answer only
o ft follow through
o isw ignore subsequent working
o SC - special case
o oe or equivalent (and appropriate)
o dep dependent
o indep independent
o eeoo each error or omission

- No working
If no working is shown then correct answers normally score full marks.
If no working is shown then incorrect (even though nearly correct)
answers score no marks.
- With working
If there is a wrong answer indicated on the answer line always check
the working in the body of the script (and on any diagrams), and award
any marks appropriate from the mark scheme.
If it is clear from the working that the correct answer has been
obtained from incorrect working, award 0 marks.
Any case of suspected misread loses A (and B) marks on that part, but
can gain the M marks.
If working is crossed out and still legible, then it should be given any
appropriate marks, as long as it has not been replaced by alternative
work.
If there is a choice of methods shown, then no marks should be
awarded, unless the answer on the answer line makes clear the
method that has been used.
If there is no answer on the answer line then check the working for an
obvious answer.
- Follow through marks
Follow through marks which involve a single stage calculation can be
awarded without working since you can check the answer yourself, but
if ambiguous do not award.
Follow through marks which involve more than one stage of calculation
can only be awarded on sight of the relevant working, even if it appears
obvious that there is only one way you could get the answer given.
- Ignoring subsequent work
It is appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional work
does not change the answer in a way that is inappropriate for the
question: eg. Incorrect cancelling of a fraction that would otherwise be
correct.
It is not appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional
work essentially makes the answer incorrect eg algebra.
Transcription errors occur when candidates present a correct answer in
working, and write it incorrectly on the answer line; mark the correct
answer.

- Probability
Probability answers must be given a fractions, percentages or
decimals. If a candidate gives a decimal equivalent to a probability, this
should be written to at least 2 decimal places (unless tenths).
Incorrect notation should lose the accuracy marks, but be awarded any
implied method marks.
If a probability answer is given on the answer line using both incorrect
and correct notation, award the marks.
If a probability fraction is given then cancelled incorrectly, ignore the
incorrectly cancelled answer.
- Linear equations
Full marks can be gained if the solution alone is given on the answer
line, or otherwise unambiguously indicated in working (without
contradiction elsewhere). Where the correct solution only is shown
substituted, but not identified as the solution, the accuracy mark is lost
but any method marks can be awarded.
- Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of
the question CANNOT be awarded in another
