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.
E amine h ld al be e a ed a a d e ma k if he candida e
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
candida e e n e, he eam leade m be c n l ed.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with
an alternative response.

 EDEXCEL IAL 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: Me hod marks are a arded for kno ing a me hod and a emp ing o
appl i , nless o her ise indica ed.
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 and can be used if you are using the annotation facility on ePEN.

bod benefit of doubt

the symbol will be used for correct ft

dp decimal places
sf significant figures

4. All A marks are correc ans er onl (cao.), nless sho n, for e ample, as A1 f
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. If you are using the annotation facility on ePEN, indicate this action by
MR in he bod of he scrip .

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.

8. Marks for each question are scored by clicking in the marking grids that appear
below each student response on ePEN. The maximum mark allocation for each
question/part question(item) is set out in the marking grid and you should allocate
a score of 0 or 1 for each mark, or rai , as sho n:

0 1
aM
aA
bM1
bA1
bB
bM2
bA2

9. Be careful when scoring a response that is either all correct or all incorrect. It is
er eas o click do n he 0 col mn hen i as mean o be 1 and all correc .

General Principles for Pure 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 correct formula (with values for a, b and c).

3. Completing the square

Solving x + bx + c = 0 :
2 b 2
(x 2) q c, q 0, leading to x =

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation
n
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x xn 1 )

2. Integration
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 e aminers repor s is ha he form la sho ld be q o ed firs .

Normal marking procedure is as follows:

Method mark for quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there
are small mistakes 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
E aminers repor s ha e emphasised ha here, for e ample, 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 o r head , de ailed orking o ld no be req ired. Mos candida es do sho
working, but there are occasional awkward cases and if the mark scheme does not
cover this, please contact your team leader for advice.

If simultaneous equations are used then it would be scored for m = 3

M1 Attempts to find the equation of the line using their gradient for PQ and one of the points. Sight of
embedded values eg ( y 5) = " 3" ( x 4 ) is sufficient (allow one sign slip on one of the brackets) or
if they use y = mx + c they must proceed as far as c = ...

If the perpendicular gradient is used it is M0.

A simultaneous method, eg solving 13 = 2m + c and 5 = 4m + c must reach values for m and c.

Alternatively, they may form two right angled triangles. This must be a correct method to find the area

Way Two: Sets 2 x 14 = 3 x oe and attempts to square leading to a 3TQ quadratic on one side of an
equation. Condone slips when multiplying out eg ( 2 x 14 ) and rearranging their equation but their
2

method must be sound.

Note: 2 x 14 = 3 x 4 x 2 196 = 9 x would be M0.

condone lack of = 0 )

dM1 Way One: Attempts to find one value for x. Condone 4 or squaring 2

Way Two: Attempts to find one value for x by solving their quadratic (see general guidance for
solving a quadratic). To score they must either
show the factorised form of their quadratic eg (4 x 49)( x 4)
show embedded values in the quadratic formula
show their method completing the square

earned.)

M1 The quadratic must be seen or implied by working shown

Either factorises/cancels out the x from a cubic of the form ...x3 ....x 2 ...x = 0 to produce a
3TQ. As the 3TQ is seen then using a calculator is allowed so they can proceed to just stating
the roots (or they may use the quadratic formula/completing the square methods).
Or states x = 0 , shows some working (eg completed square form or embedded values in the
quadratic formula for their invisible quadratic) and proceeds towards at least one value for x.

If their quadratic factorises then this mark cannot be awarded.

state x = 0 Send to review if unsure.

M1 Subtracts their two non-zero roots from setting their cubic = 0 either way round (cannot be from
differentiating the cubic and setting the resulting 3TQ = 0) which may be implied by their answer.
They may also use the distance formula (embedded values is sufficient, condone a sign error in the
ec d b acke i l i g hei d f m a (b)).

M1 Attempts to use f (3) = 2 2 = 9 + 3a + b oe. The expression does not need to be simplified so
embedded values scores this mark. Condone slips when squaring but do not allow f (3) = 2

M1 Attempts to integrate and achieves ( f ( x) = ) ...x3 + ...ax 2 + bx + (c) with or without the + c. a, b 0

dM1 Uses y intercept = 8 and ( 3, 2 ) in their ( f ( x) = ) ...x3 + ...ax 2 + bx + c . The values embedded in the
expression are sufficient. It is dependent on the previous method mark only.
Alternatively uses ( 3, 2 ) in ( f ( x) = ) ...x3 + ...ax 2 + bx 8
Beware: they may also substitute in b = 7 3a at some point to achieve an equation in a only.

A1 Correct unsimplified equation in a and b 2 = 9 + a + 3b 8 .

Note: simplified becomes 9a + 6b = 6

Alternatively they may have a correct unsimplified equation in a only : 2 = 9 + a + 3( 7 3a) 8 oe

eg 4.5a = 18

ddM1 Dependent upon all previous M's.

It is for solving their two equations with c = 8 to find values for a and b or solving their equation in a
and then substituting in to b = 7 3a to find a value for b

Don't be too concerned by the process. A calculator method is acceptable.
