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
candidates 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

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

will be used for correct ft

or d The second mark is dependent on gaining the first mark

aliter alternative method

aef any equivalent form

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.

PhysicsAndMathsTutor.com

June 2014 (R)

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.
7. 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.
8. 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

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 x
n

n 1

2. Integration
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x x
n

n +1

PhysicsAndMathsTutor.com

June 2014 (R)

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.

M1 requires the correct structure for the y values. It needs to contain first y value plus
last y value and the second bracket to be multiplied by 2 and to be the summation of the
remaining y values in the table with no additional values. If the only mistake is a
copying error or is to omit one value from 2(..) bracket this may be regarded as a slip
and the M mark can be allowed (nb: an extra repeated term, however, forfeits the M
mark). M0 if any values used are x values instead of y values.
