 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.
 General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for the paper is 75.

2. Edexcel Mathematics mark schemes use the following types of marks:

• ‘M’ marks
o These are marks given for a correct method or an attempt at a
correct method.
• ‘A’ marks
o These are dependent accuracy (or sometimes answer) marks and
can only be awarded if the previous M mark has been earned. e.g.
M0 A1 is impossible.
• ‘B’ marks
o These are independent accuracy marks where there is no method
(e.g. often given for a comment or for a graph).
• A and B marks may be f.t. – follow through – marks.
Marks should not be subdivided

3. General Abbreviations
These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in
the mark schemes:
• bod means benefit of doubt
• ft means follow through
o the symbol will be used for correct ft
• cao means correct answer only
• cso means correct solution only, i.e. there must be no errors in this part
of the question to obtain this mark
• isw means ignore subsequent working
• awrt means answers which round to
• SC means special case
• oe means or equivalent (and appropriate)
• dep means dependent
• indep means independent
• dp means decimal places
• sf means significant figures
• * means the answer is printed on the question paper
• means 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 Further Pure Mathematics Marking
(NB specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles)

Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:

• Factorisation
o ( x 2 + bx + c) = ( x + p )( x + q ), where pq = c , leading to x = ...
o (ax 2 + bx + c) = (mx + p)( nx + q), where pq = c and mn = a , leading to x = ...
• Formula
o Attempt to use the correct formula (with values for a, band c).
• Completing the square
2
 b
o Solving x + bx + c = 0 :  x    q  c = 0, q  0 , leading to x = ...
2

 2
Method marks for differentiation and integration:
• Differentiation
o Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x n → x n −1 )
• Integration
o Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x n → x n +1 )

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.

Answers without working

The rubric says that these may not gain full credit. Individual mark schemes will
give details of what happens in particular cases. General policy is that if it could
be done “in your head”, detailed working would not be required. Most candidates
do show working, but there are occasional awkward cases and if the mark
scheme does not cover this, please contact your team leader for advice.

A correct logarithmic form must be used with a valid value if using arcosh (>1)

The appropriate logarithmic forms could be implied by correct values.

Allow this mark if e.g., 108 is erroneously simplified but the value must be valid for
the inverse hyperbolic function.
If an exponential form is used to evaluate an inverse hyperbolic the form must be
correct and the solving of any resulting 3TQ (most likely in e or e x ) must satisfy
usual rules with one root correct if no working. Note that using tanh leads to a 2TQ
which they must get one correct root for.
They must also proceed to  = k ln p, k  0, p  1
6sinh ( x + ln 3) or R = 6 and  = ln 3 (or p = 3)
Correct expression but allow values for R and  (or p).
If all the values are not seen in (b) then allow if they are seen in (c) and they could A1

For attempts like this award the first 2 method marks together for applying the split,
expanding and applying parts to achieve a correct form. The first accuracy mark can
be awarded for a correct expression (limits not required on either part and ‘dx’s may
be missing). As main scheme for the following two marks (note that in this case the
first and third terms must both be replaced by “0” or better).
