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
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given any appropriate marks, as long as it has not been
replaced by alternative work.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: eg. 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 of the question CANNOT be awarded in another.
