 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.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.
 PEARSON EDEXCEL GCE 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.
• 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.

• 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
• oe – 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 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.

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 Core 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, b and c).

3. Completing the square

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

 2

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation

n −1
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x → x )
n

2. Integration

n +1
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x → x )
n
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.

It must only appear in Quadrants 1 and 3 and have a gradient that is always  0 . The gradient should
appear large at either end. Tolerate slips of the pen.See practice and qualification for acceptable curves.

B1 Correct shape for y =−2 − e 4 x , its position is not important for this mark. The gradient must be
approximately zero at the left hand end and increase negatively as you move from left to right along the
curve. See practice and qualification for acceptable curves.
B1 Score for y =−2 − e 4 x cutting or meeting the y axis at (0,-3). Its shape is not important.
Accept for the intention of (0,-3), −3 being marked on the y – axis as well as (-3,0)
Do not accept 3 being marked on the negative y axis.
B1 Score for y =−2 − e 4 x having an asymptote stated as y = −2 . This is dependent upon the curve appearing
to have an asymptote there. Do not accept the asymptote marked as ‘-2’ or indeed x = −2 . See practice
and qualification for acceptable solutions.

B1 Score for a statement to the effect that the graphs cross at one point. Accept minimal statements such as
‘one intersection’. Do not award if their diagram shows more than one intersection. They must have a
diagram (which may be incorrect)

value of x generated from part (d) into y = e4 x + x 4 + 8 x + 5 in order to find the y value. You may accept
the appearance of a y value as evidence of finding the turning point (as long as an x value appears to be
generated from part (d) and the correct equation is used.)

A1 (-1.26, -2.55) and correct solution only. It is a deduction and you cannot accept the appearance of a
correct answer for two marks.
