General Marking Guidance
• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must
mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the
first.
• 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.
• 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/indicative content will not be exhaustive.
• When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark
scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be
consulted before a mark is given.
• Crossed out work should be marked unless the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.

• Types of mark
o M marks: method marks
o A marks: accuracy marks
o B marks: unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M marks)

• Abbreviations
o cao – correct answer only
o ft – follow through
o isw – ignore subsequent working
o SC - special case
o oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
o dep – dependent
o indep – independent
o awrt – answer which rounds to
o eeoo – each error or omission
• No working
If no working is shown then correct answers normally score full marks
If no working is shown then incorrect (even though nearly correct) answers
score no marks.
• With working
If the final answer is wrong, always check the working in the body of the
script (and on any diagrams), and award any marks appropriate from the
mark scheme.
If it is clear from the working that the “correct” answer has been obtained
from incorrect working, award 0 marks.
If a candidate misreads a number from the question. Eg. Uses 252 instead
of 255; method marks may be awarded provided the question has not been
simplified. Examiners should send any instance of a suspected misread to
review.
If there is a choice of methods shown, then award the lowest mark, unless
the answer on the answer line makes clear the method that has been used.
If there is no answer achieved then check the working for any marks
appropriate from the mark scheme.

• Ignoring subsequent work

It is appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional work does
not change the answer in a way that is inappropriate for the question: eg.
Incorrect cancelling of a fraction that would otherwise be correct.
It is not appropriate to ignore subsequent work when the additional work
essentially makes the answer incorrect eg algebra.
Transcription errors occur when candidates present a correct answer in
working, and write it incorrectly on the answer line; mark the correct
answer.

• Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the
question CANNOT be awarded to another.
 General Principles for Further Pure Mathematics Marking
(but note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles)

Method mark for solving a 3 term quadratic equation:

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

( ax + bx + c ) = ( mx + p )( nx + q ) where pq = c and mn = a leading to x = ....

2

2. Formula:
Attempt to use the correct formula (shown explicitly or implied by working) with
values for a, b and c, leading to x = ....

3. Completing the square:

x 2 + bx + c = 0 : ( x  b2 )  q  c = 0, leading to x = ....
2
q0

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:

Generally, the method mark is gained by either

quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are mistakes in
the substitution of values

or, where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication
from the substitution of correct values and then proceeding to a solution.

Answers without working:

The rubric states "Without sufficient working, correct answers may be awarded no
marks".

General policy is that if it could be done "in your head" detailed working would not be
required. (Mark schemes may override this eg in a case of "prove or show...."Exact
answers:
When a question demands an exact answer, all the working must also be exact. Once a
candidate loses exactness by resorting to decimals the exactness cannot be regained.

Rounding answers (where accuracy is specified in the question)

Penalise only once per question for failing to round as instructed - ie giving more
digits in the answers. Answers with fewer digits are automatically incorrect, but
the isw rule may allow the mark to be awarded before the final answer is given.

 Part Mark Notes
The tolerance for all marks in this question is  half a small square.
(a) B1 For one of the lines correctly drawn to within tolerance (as a minimum,
examiners should check intersections with axes, candidates do not need to
mark these).
B1 For two of the lines drawn to within tolerance (as a minimum, examiners
should check intersections with axes, candidates do not need to mark these).
B1 For all three lines correctly drawn to within tolerance (as a minimum,
examiners should check intersections with axes, candidates do not need to
mark these).
As a minimum, lines must intersect with other for marks in (a) and (b) to be awarded
(b) B1ft For the correct enclosed region shaded in or out or for R clearly labelled.
The ft mark can only be awarded if 3 distinct lines have been drawn and it’s
clear they’ve shaded on the correct ‘side’ for each of their lines.
If there’s no labelling and it’s not clear which line is which, this mark cannot
be awarded.
Part c of this question states “using your graph”……
Therefore solutions which obviously use exact coordinates of intersection points having used a
graphical calculator or from working algebraically can only score M0 M1 A0.
(c) M1 For reading from the graph at least one point of intersection using their lines.
The pair used for this and the next method mark must be within the tolerance
of ± 0.1 of the values shown in the table. Any solutions which work out the
values algebraically will not gain this mark or the final accuracy mark, but
may gain the next method mark.
Occasionally, students are working out the non-integer coordinates from
algebra or from a calculator but reading (-4, -3) from the graph and using this
to find the value of P. In this case, we can apply bod (benefit of the doubt)
and this mark can be awarded if subbed in to find the value of P.
M1 For a correct substitution to find the value of P from at least one set of their
coordinates of the point of intersection.
This is not a dependent mark, so they can use any one of their pairs of values
even if it doesn’t fall in tolerance.
A1 For the correct least value of − 28.2 Allow a value between – 28.9 and
−27.5 so long as this follows through from their values.
Do not allow a value out of range to be rounded to a value within range.
