Instructions to Examiners
Abbreviations
A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
1 General
Award marks using the annotations as noted in the markscheme eg M1, A2.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked, and
marks awarded according to the markscheme.
It is generally not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) depend on the preceding
M mark(s), if any.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, e.g. M1A1, this usually means M1 for an
attempt to use an appropriate method (e.g. substitution into a formula) and A1 for using the
correct values.
Where there are two or more A marks on the same line, they may be awarded independently;
so if the first value is incorrect, but the next two are correct, award A0A1A1.
Where the markscheme specifies M2, A2, etc., do not split the marks, unless there is a note.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further correct working.
However, if further working indicates a lack of mathematical understanding do not award the final
A1. An exception to this may be in numerical answers, where a correct exact value is followed by
an incorrect decimal. However, if the incorrect decimal is carried through to a subsequent part,
and correct working shown, award FT marks as appropriate but do not award the final A1 in that
part.
Examples
3 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets e.g. (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or if
implied in subsequent working.
Marks without brackets can only be awarded for work that is seen.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is
used correctly in subsequent part(s) or subpart(s). Usually, to award FT marks, there must be
working present and not just a final answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
However, if the only marks awarded in a subpart are for the answer (i.e. there is no working
expected), then FT marks should be awarded if appropriate.
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further A marks can be awarded for work
which uses the error, but M marks may be awarded if appropriate.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer
FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, use of r > 1 for the
sum of an infinite GP, sin = 1.5 , non integer value where integer required), do not award the
mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The markscheme may use the word “their” in a description, to indicate that candidates may be
using an incorrect value.
If a candidate makes an error in one part, but gets the correct answer(s) to subsequent part(s),
award marks as appropriate, unless the question says hence. It is often possible to use a
different approach in subsequent parts that does not depend on the answer to previous parts.
5 Mis-read
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a mis-read (MR). Apply a MR
penalty of 1 mark to that question
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award
fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, sin = 1.5 , non-integer
value where integer required), do not award the mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The MR penalty can only be applied when work is seen. For calculator questions with no
working and incorrect answers, examiners should not infer that values were read incorrectly.
–4– SPEC/5/MATAA/HP1/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
6 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme
7 Alternative forms
In the markscheme, equivalent numerical and algebraic forms will generally be written in
brackets immediately following the answer.
In the markscheme, simplified answers, (which candidates often do not write in examinations),
will generally appear in brackets. Marks should be awarded for either the form preceding the
bracket or the form in brackets (if it is seen).
8 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be linked to giving the answer to the
required accuracy. There are two types of accuracy errors, and the final answer mark should not be
awarded if these errors occur.
Level of accuracy: when this is not specified in the question the general rule applies to final
answers: unless otherwise stated in the question all numerical answers must be given exactly or
correct to three significant figures.
9 Calculators
No calculator is allowed. The use of any calculator on paper 1 is malpractice, and will result in no
grade awarded. If you see work that suggests a candidate has used any calculator, please follow
the procedures for malpractice. Examples: finding an angle, given a trig ratio of 0.4235.

A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
1 General
Award marks using the annotations as noted in the markscheme eg M1, A2.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked, and
marks awarded according to the markscheme.
It is generally not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) depend on the preceding
M mark(s), if any.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, e.g. M1A1, this usually means M1 for an
attempt to use an appropriate method (e.g. substitution into a formula) and A1 for using the
correct values.
Where there are two or more A marks on the same line, they may be awarded independently;
so if the first value is incorrect, but the next two are correct, award A0A1A1.
Where the markscheme specifies M2, A2, etc., do not split the marks, unless there is a note.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further correct working.
However, if further working indicates a lack of mathematical understanding do not award the final
A1. An exception to this may be in numerical answers, where a correct exact value is followed by
an incorrect decimal. However, if the incorrect decimal is carried through to a subsequent part,
and correct working shown, award FT marks as appropriate but do not award the final A1 in that
part.
Examples
3 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets e.g. (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or if
implied in subsequent working.
Marks without brackets can only be awarded for work that is seen.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is
used correctly in subsequent part(s) or subpart(s). Usually, to award FT marks, there must be
working present and not just a final answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
However, if the only marks awarded in a subpart are for the answer (i.e. there is no working
expected), then FT marks should be awarded if appropriate.
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further A marks can be awarded for work
which uses the error, but M marks may be awarded if appropriate.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer
FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, use of r > 1 for the
sum of an infinite GP, sin = 1.5 , non integer value where integer required), do not award the
mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The markscheme may use the word “their” in a description, to indicate that candidates may be
using an incorrect value.
If a candidate makes an error in one part, but gets the correct answer(s) to subsequent part(s),
award marks as appropriate, unless the question says hence. It is often possible to use a
different approach in subsequent parts that does not depend on the answer to previous parts.
5 Mis-read
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a mis-read (MR). Apply a MR
penalty of 1 mark to that question
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award
fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, sin = 1.5 , non-integer
value where integer required), do not award the mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The MR penalty can only be applied when work is seen. For calculator questions with no
working and incorrect answers, examiners should not infer that values were read incorrectly.
–4– SPEC/5/MATAA/HP2/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
6 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme
7 Alternative forms
In the markscheme, equivalent numerical and algebraic forms will generally be written in
brackets immediately following the answer.
In the markscheme, simplified answers, (which candidates often do not write in examinations),
will generally appear in brackets. Marks should be awarded for either the form preceding the
bracket or the form in brackets (if it is seen).
8 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be linked to giving the answer to the
required accuracy. There are two types of accuracy errors, and the final answer mark should not be
awarded if these errors occur.
Level of accuracy: when this is not specified in the question the general rule applies to final
answers: unless otherwise stated in the question all numerical answers must be given exactly or
correct to three significant figures.
9 Calculators
A GDC is required for paper 2, but calculators with symbolic manipulation features/ CAS functionality
are not allowed.
Calculator notation
The sub ect guide says:
Students must always use correct mathematical notation, not calculator notation.
Do not accept final answers written using calculator notation. However, do not penalize the use of
calculator notation in the working.

If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, sin = 1.5 , non-integer
value where integer required), do not award the mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The MR penalty can only be applied when work is seen. For calculator questions with no
working and incorrect answers, examiners should not infer that values were read incorrectly.
–4– SPEC/5/MATAA/HP3/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
6 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme
7 Alternative forms
In the markscheme, equivalent numerical and algebraic forms will generally be written in
brackets immediately following the answer.
In the markscheme, simplified answers, (which candidates often do not write in examinations),
will generally appear in brackets. Marks should be awarded for either the form preceding the
bracket or the form in brackets (if it is seen).
8 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be linked to giving the answer to the
required accuracy. There are two types of accuracy errors, and the final answer mark should not be
awarded if these errors occur.
Level of accuracy: when this is not specified in the question the general rule applies to final
answers: unless otherwise stated in the question all numerical answers must be given exactly or
correct to three significant figures.
9 Calculators
A GDC is required for paper 3, but calculators with symbolic manipulation features/ CAS functionality
are not allowed.
Calculator notation
The sub ect guide says:
Students must always use correct mathematical notation, not calculator notation.
Do not accept final answers written using calculator notation. However, do not penalize the use of
calculator notation in the working.

Instructions to Examiners
Abbreviations
A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
1 General
Award marks using the annotations as noted in the markscheme eg M1, A2.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked, and
marks awarded according to the markscheme.
It is generally not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) depend on the preceding
M mark(s), if any.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, e.g. M1A1, this usually means M1 for an
attempt to use an appropriate method (e.g. substitution into a formula) and A1 for using the
correct values.
Where there are two or more A marks on the same line, they may be awarded independently;
so if the first value is incorrect, but the next two are correct, award A0A1A1.
Where the markscheme specifies M2, A2, etc., do not split the marks, unless there is a note.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further correct working.
However, if further working indicates a lack of mathematical understanding do not award the final
A1. An exception to this may be in numerical answers, where a correct exact value is followed by
an incorrect decimal. However, if the incorrect decimal is carried through to a subsequent part,
and correct working shown, award FT marks as appropriate but do not award the final A1 in that
part.
Examples
3 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets e.g. (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or if
implied in subsequent working.
Marks without brackets can only be awarded for work that is seen.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is
used correctly in subsequent part(s) or subpart(s). Usually, to award FT marks, there must be
working present and not just a final answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
However, if the only marks awarded in a subpart are for the answer (i.e. there is no working
expected), then FT marks should be awarded if appropriate.
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further A marks can be awarded for work
which uses the error, but M marks may be awarded if appropriate.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer
FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, use of r >1 for the
sum of an infinite GP, sin = 1.5 , non integer value where integer required), do not award the
mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The markscheme may use the word “their” in a description, to indicate that candidates may be
using an incorrect value.
If a candidate makes an error in one part, but gets the correct answer(s) to subsequent part(s),
award marks as appropriate, unless the question says hence. It is often possible to use a
different approach in subsequent parts that does not depend on the answer to previous parts.
5 Mis-read
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a mis-read (MR). Apply a MR
penalty of 1 mark to that question
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award
fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, sin = 1.5 , non-integer
value where integer required), do not award the mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The MR penalty can only be applied when work is seen. For calculator questions with no
working and incorrect answers, examiners should not infer that values were read incorrectly.
–4– SPEC/5/MATAA/SP1/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
6 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme
7 Alternative forms
In the markscheme, equivalent numerical and algebraic forms will generally be written in
brackets immediately following the answer.
In the markscheme, simplified answers, (which candidates often do not write in examinations),
will generally appear in brackets. Marks should be awarded for either the form preceding the
bracket or the form in brackets (if it is seen).
8 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be linked to giving the answer to the
required accuracy. There are two types of accuracy errors, and the final answer mark should not be
awarded if these errors occur.
Level of accuracy: when this is not specified in the question the general rule applies to final
answers: unless otherwise stated in the question all numerical answers must be given exactly or
correct to three significant figures.
9 Calculators
No calculator is allowed. The use of any calculator on paper 1 is malpractice, and will result in no
grade awarded. If you see work that suggests a candidate has used any calculator, please follow
the procedures for malpractice. Examples: finding an angle, given a trig ratio of 0.4235.

Instructions to Examiners

A Marks awarded for an Answer or for Accuracy; often dependent on preceding M marks.
1 General
Award marks using the annotations as noted in the markscheme eg M1, A2.
Do not automatically award full marks for a correct answer; all working must be checked, and
marks awarded according to the markscheme.
It is generally not possible to award M0 followed by A1, as A mark(s) depend on the preceding
M mark(s), if any.
Where M and A marks are noted on the same line, e.g. M1A1, this usually means M1 for an
attempt to use an appropriate method (e.g. substitution into a formula) and A1 for using the
correct values.
Where there are two or more A marks on the same line, they may be awarded independently;
so if the first value is incorrect, but the next two are correct, award A0A1A1.
Where the markscheme specifies M2, A2, etc., do not split the marks, unless there is a note.
Once a correct answer to a question or part-question is seen, ignore further correct working.
However, if further working indicates a lack of mathematical understanding do not award the final
A1. An exception to this may be in numerical answers, where a correct exact value is followed by
an incorrect decimal. However, if the incorrect decimal is carried through to a subsequent part,
and correct working shown, award FT marks as appropriate but do not award the final A1 in that
part.
Examples
3 Implied marks
Implied marks appear in brackets e.g. (M1), and can only be awarded if correct work is seen or if
implied in subsequent working.
Marks without brackets can only be awarded for work that is seen.
Follow through (FT) marks are awarded where an incorrect answer from one part of a question is
used correctly in subsequent part(s) or subpart(s). Usually, to award FT marks, there must be
working present and not just a final answer based on an incorrect answer to a previous part.
However, if the only marks awarded in a subpart are for the answer (i.e. there is no working
expected), then FT marks should be awarded if appropriate.
Within a question part, once an error is made, no further A marks can be awarded for work
which uses the error, but M marks may be awarded if appropriate.
If the question becomes much simpler because of an error then use discretion to award fewer
FT marks.
If the error leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, use of r 1 for the
sum of an infinite GP, sin = 1.5 , non integer value where integer required), do not award the
mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The markscheme may use the word “their” in a description, to indicate that candidates may be
using an incorrect value.
If a candidate makes an error in one part, but gets the correct answer(s) to subsequent part(s),
award marks as appropriate, unless the question says hence. It is often possible to use a
different approach in subsequent parts that does not depend on the answer to previous parts.
5 Mis-read
If a candidate incorrectly copies information from the question, this is a mis-read (MR). Apply a MR
penalty of 1 mark to that question
If the question becomes much simpler because of the MR, then use discretion to award
fewer marks.
If the MR leads to an inappropriate value (e.g. probability greater than 1, sin = 1.5 , non-integer
value where integer required), do not award the mark(s) for the final answer(s).
The MR penalty can only be applied when work is seen. For calculator questions with no
working and incorrect answers, examiners should not infer that values were read incorrectly.
–4– SPEC/5/MATAA/SP2/ENG/TZ0/XX/M
6 Alternative methods
Candidates will sometimes use methods other than those in the markscheme. Unless the question
specifies a method, other correct methods should be marked in line with the markscheme
7 Alternative forms
In the markscheme, equivalent numerical and algebraic forms will generally be written in
brackets immediately following the answer.
In the markscheme, simplified answers, (which candidates often do not write in examinations),
will generally appear in brackets. Marks should be awarded for either the form preceding the
bracket or the form in brackets (if it is seen).
8 Accuracy of Answers
If the level of accuracy is specified in the question, a mark will be linked to giving the answer to the
required accuracy. There are two types of accuracy errors, and the final answer mark should not be
awarded if these errors occur.
Level of accuracy: when this is not specified in the question the general rule applies to final
answers: unless otherwise stated in the question all numerical answers must be given exactly or
correct to three significant figures.
9 Calculators
A GDC is required for paper 2, but calculators with symbolic manipulation features/ CAS functionality
are not allowed.
Calculator notation
The subject guide says:
Students must always use correct mathematical notation, not calculator notation.
Do not accept final answers written using calculator notation. However, do not penalize the use of
calculator notation in the working.
