 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 IAL 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.
• Amarks: 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
• o.e. – 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 A1ft 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 Further Pure Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles)

Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:

1. Factorisation

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

(ax 2 + 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, band c).

3. Completing the square

2
 b
Solving x + bx + c = 0 :
2
 x ±  ± q ± c = 0, q ≠ 0 , leading to x = ...
 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.

expression for the perimeter). May find coordinates of P first and then attempt Pythagoras theorem –
must be correct. May be seen on the diagram. Allow even if incorrect value used later.
M1: Uses distance from directrix to find x coordinate of P and goes on to find OP by Pythagoras
(with a plus sign).
dM1: Sums their three side lengths. Extras – including 0 – score M0. Depends on the previous M
mark.
A1: Correct answer. Equivalents must be in simplified surd form.

E.g. Product of roots is 225, so product of real roots is =9

SoA = −14, B = 82 and C = −222 (or accept in the quartic) A1

(3)
(8 marks)
Notes:
(a)
B1: For 4 – 3i
(b)
M1: Correct strategy to find a quadratic factor. May expand as shown in scheme, or may look for
sum of roots and product of roots first and then write down the factor.
A1: Correct quadratic factor. Can be written down – give M1A1 if correct, M0A0 if incorrect.
Ignore “= 0” with their quadratic factor.
Alt for (b):
225
M1: Product of complex roots is 25, so product of real roots is = 9 , so the (positive) real root is
25
“3”, hence quadratic factor is ( x − "3")
2

A1: x 2 − 6 x + 9 or ( x − 3)
2

(c)
M1: A complete strategy to deduce the real root or its square. May consider product of roots, as in
scheme, or may first attempt to factorise/long division to find the other quadratic factor – award at
the point the quadratic factor with real roots is found. May have been seen in (b)
A1: Real root is 3. (No need to see rejection of the negative possibility.)
Not a “show that” so award M1A1 if correct root is written down with no working.
(d)
M1: Attempts to expand the two quadratic factors – one of which must have a repeated root, so
( x 2 ± 9 ) scores M0. (Alternative, may apply –(sum of roots) to find A, pair sum to find B etc –
accept method for at least two constants.)
A1: Two correct values of the three. Accept as embedded in a quartic equation.
A1: All three correct. Accept as embedded in their quartic equation.
If their answers are wrong a correct method would get M1A0A0 but w/o some working score M0

so expect at least seeing the quadratic before a factorised form.. Need not see the “k+1” explicitly for

“true for n = 1”, “assumed true for n = k” and “shown true for n = k + 1”, and “hence true for all n”.
All these statements (or equivalents) must be seen in their conclusion (not simply scattered through
the work). Depends on all except the B mark, though a check for n = 1 must have been attempted.
(b)
B1: Correct expansion.
M1: Applies the standard formula for
∑ r and the result from (a) to their sum.

If the expansion is given as ∑r 3

− r 2 , allow the use of ∑r 2
instead of ∑r
M1: Takes out the common factors n and ( n + 1) and attempts to simplify to required form OR
factorises their quartic.
A1: Correct answer. (Ignore A, B and C listed explicitly.) Correct answer can be obtained from a
cubic or a quartic. Award M1A1 in either of these cases.
(c)
2n 2n n −1

M1:Attempts to apply =r
∑ ∑ ∑ 2

=r n =r 1 =r 1
2
r − r 2 with the standard result for
∑r 2
Accept with n

instead of n − 1 in second expression.

A1: Correct expression for the RHS seen, no need to be simplified.
dM1:Applies the summations to the equation in the question and cancels/factorises out the factor n.
Depends on the first M mark of (c)
ddM1: Simplifies the quadratic factor of the right hand side and cancels/factors out the n+1 and
1
solves the resulting quadratic. Note M1M1 is implied by sights of the correct roots − ,52, 0, −1 of
9
the quartic. Depends on both previous M marks in (c)
A1: Correct answer. Must reject other roots. The correct answer obtained from a quartic or cubic
equation solved by calculator gains all relevant marks.
