 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.
 Types of mark
o M marks: method marks
o A marks: accuracy marks. Can only be awarded if the relevant method
mark(s) has (have) been gained.
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 eeoo – each error or omission
 No working
If no working is shown then correct answers may score full marks
If no working is shown then incorrect (even though nearly correct) answers
score no marks.
 With working
If there is a wrong answer indicated always check the working 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.
Any case of suspected misread which does not significantly simplify the question
loses two A (or B) marks on that question, but can gain all the M marks. Mark all
work on follow through but enter A0 (or B0) for the first two A or B marks gained.
If working is crossed out and still legible, then it should be given any appropriate
marks, as long as it has not been replaced by alternative work.
If there are multiple attempts shown, then all attempts should be marked and the
highest score on a single attempt should be awarded.

 Follow through marks

Follow through marks which involve a single stage calculation can be awarded
without working since you can check the answer yourself, but if ambiguous do not
award.
Follow through marks which involve more than one stage of calculation can only be
awarded on sight of the relevant working, even if it appears obvious that there is only
one way you could get the answer given.

 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
shows that the candidate did not understand the demand of the question.

 Linear equations
Full marks can be gained if the solution alone is given, or otherwise unambiguously
indicated in working (without contradiction elsewhere). Where the correct solution
only is shown substituted, but not identified as the solution, the accuracy mark is lost
but any method marks can be awarded.

 Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the question
CANNOT be awarded in 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: 

     where | | | | 

       where | | | |  and  | | | | 

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: 

2
 b
  Solving   x 2  bx  c   x    q  c  where  0 
 2

Method marks for differentiation and integration: 

1. Differentiation 

Power of at least one term decreased by 1.   

2. Integration: 

Power of at least one term increased by 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.

B1: for identifying the required angle in a correct triangle. That is all that is required for this
mark and can be gained by implication from subsequent correct work.

midpoint to any of those sides is 89  9.43..

Beware: Candidates must identify the correct angle so finding 58° from using 9.43 as AE and 8
as the height will give the correct answer, but this is B0M0

Note on Rounding

Some candidates are giving answers in (c) and (d) to 2 dp. Penalise only once (the first time)
PROVIDED the answers given both round to 2.8 and 1.4 respectively. If answers given are for
example, (c) 2.83 (d) 1.45, then this loses both A marks because part (c) is rounded incorrectly
and part (d) rounds to 1.5 which is incorrect.
