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.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a
candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted.
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.
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)
1. Factorisation:
x bx c x p x q , where pq c 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 ....
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:
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.
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.

B1 Correct differentiation
M1 Equate their differentiated expression (min 2 correct terms) to 0 (= 0 may be implied by
their solution) and attempt to solve the 3 TQ by any valid method. Must reach t = ...
Calculator solution: Allow M1A1 if their equation and its roots are correct , otherwise
M0A0
A1 Correct value of t (Ignore t = -2 if shown)
A1 Correct distance, exact or min 3 s f Award A0 if value when t = -2 is also offered (and not
excluded)
If there is an error in the solution of their equation but t = 4 is used to obtain the correct
answer this mark cannot be awarded.

(a)M1 Re-write the equation of C without fractions and rearrange to the required form.
A1 Correct value for a and either b or c. These values need not be stated explicitly.
A1 Fully correct equation. Values of a, b and c need not be stated explicitly. Condone missing

values with incorrect signs.

M1 Re-arrange their inequality to a 3TQ in y. Allow an equation here.
A1 Correct 3TQ, as shown or any equivalent
A1cso Deduce the CVs (need not be shown explicitly) and state the (given) inequalities. There
must be no errors in the working but the equation, if correct, can be solved easily so no
working need be shown. Condone use of “and” instead of “or”.

Rest as above.
(a)
M1 Use the standard formulae. This is a “show that” question so these formulae must be written
out in full. Both sides of the result must be seen although the working may appear between
them as seen in the scheme.
A1cso Final given result. Do not award if the expansions shown are not in the correct order (this
suggests incorrect signs in the formulae).
(b)
M1 Use A B P, A B Q to obtain A and B in terms of P and Q
M1 Substitute in the result from (a) to obtain an identity in P and Q only

M1 Use the result from (b) to show that 2 cos 6 cos 0
A1 Obtain one correct solution of cos 6 0 . Allow if in decimal form but must be radians.
A1 Two further correct solutions and no more within the range.
If any of the 3 solutions of cos 6 0 is not exact do not award this mark.
A1 State the solution of cos 0 . Must be exact unless this is penalised above.
NB If answers are given in degrees deduct 2A marks from any that would otherwise have been
given.
(Answers in degrees but then changed to radians are acceptable – mark the radian answers.)
Ignore extra answers outside the stated range – any within are incorrect.
(d)
M1 Use the result from (a) or (b) once. Allow if one or both “2”s are missing
dM1 Use the result from (a) or (b) again. Must include both “2”s this time. Depends on previous
M mark.
A1cso Reach the given result with no errors seen
ALT 1
M1 Use the result from (a) or (b). Allow if the “2” is missing.

(e)M1 Obtain a function which can be integrated either by using the given result from (d) OR.
deriving the same result. Allow if 1/4 is missing. (Integration by Parts – send to review)
A1 Correct integration (must have included the ¼) Limits not needed for these 2 marks.
dM1 Correct use of the given limits. All sines are 0 at the lower limit so these need not be shown
A1 Correct final answer which must be exact and stated as a single fraction.
