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.

• 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 awrt – answer which rounds to
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.
If a candidate misreads a number from the question. Eg. Uses 252 instead of 255; method marks may be awarded
provided the question has not been simplified.
• If there is a choice of methods shown, then award the lowest mark, unless the subsequent working makes clear the
method that has been used.
• Examiners should send any instance of a suspected misread to review. If there is a choice of methods shown, then
award the lowest mark, unless the subsequent working makes it clear the method has been used.

• 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.

• Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the question CANNOT be awarded to another.
 General Principles for Further Pure Mathematics Marking
(but note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles)

Method mark for solving a 3 term quadratic equation:

1. Factorisation:
( x + bx + c ) = ( x + p )( x + q ) , where pq = c
2
leading to x = ....

( ax + bx + c )= ( mx + p )( nx + q ) where pq =
2
c and mn = a leading to x = ....
2. Formula:
Attempt to use the correct formula (shown explicitly or implied by working) with values
for a, b and c, leading to x = ....

3. Completing the square:

( x ± b2 )
2
x 2 + bx =
+c 0: ± c 0,
±q= q≠0 leading to x = ....

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:

Generally, the method mark is gained by either

quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are mistakes in
the substitution of values

or, where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication
from the substitution of correct values and then proceeding to a solution.

Answers without working:

The rubric states "Without sufficient working, correct answers may be awarded no marks".

General policy is that if it could be done "in your head" detailed working would not be
required. (Mark schemes may override this eg in a case of "prove or show...."
Exact answers:

When a question demands an exact answer, all the working must also be exact. Once a candidate
loses exactness by resorting to decimals the exactness cannot be regained.

Rounding answers (where accuracy is specified in the question)

Penalise only once per question for failing to round as instructed - ie giving more digits in the
answers. Answers with fewer digits are automatically incorrect, but the is rule may allow the
mark to be awarded before the final answer is given.

points. If in doubt send to review.
