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.
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.
1. Factorisation
2. Formula
Attempt to use the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).
2
2 b
Solving x bx c 0 : x q c 0, q 0 , leading to x = …
2
1. Differentiation
2. Integration
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.
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.
