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 eeoo – each error or omission
PMT
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 there is a wrong answer indicated on the answer line 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.
Any case of suspected misread loses A (and B) marks on that part,
but can gain the M marks.
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appropriate marks, as long as it has not been replaced by alternative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 is a choice of methods shown, then no marks should be
awarded, unless the answer on the answer line makes clear the
method that has been used.
If there is no answer on the answer line then check the working for
an obvious answer.
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: e.g. 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
ofthe question CANNOT be awarded in another.
