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.

EDEXCEL GCE 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: method marks are awarded for ‘knowing a method and attempting to
apply it’, unless otherwise indicated.
• 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:

• bod – benefit of doubt

• ft – follow through
• the symbol will be used for correct ft
• cao – correct answer only
• cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the question to
obtain this mark
• isw – ignore subsequent working
• awrt – answers which round to
• SC: special case
• oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
• dep – dependent
• indep – independent
• dp decimal places
• sf significant figures
• ¿ The answer is printed on the paper
• 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.

8. In some instances, the mark distributions (e.g. M1, B1 and A1) printed on the
candidate’s response may differ from the final mark scheme.

General Principles for Core 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

2
⎛ b⎞
Solving x 2 + bx + c = 0 : ⎜ x ± ⎟ ± q ± c, q ≠ 0, leading to x =...
⎝ 2⎠

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

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

2. Integration
n +1
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x → x )
n

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
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
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.

Notes for Question 2

(a)
B1 Award for the correct shape. Look for an increasing function with decreasing gradient. Condone linear
looking functions in the first quadrant. It needs to look asymptotic at the y axis and have no obvious
maximum point. It must be wholly contained in quadrants 1 and 4
See practice and qualification items for clarification.

B1 Crosses x axis at ⎜ ,0 ⎟ . Accept , 0.5 or even ⎜ 0, ⎟ marked on the correct axis.
⎝2 ⎠ 2 ⎝ 2⎠
There must be a graph for this mark to be scored.

(b)
B1 Correct shape wholly contained in quadrant 1.
The shape to the rhs of the cusp must not have an obvious maximum.
Accept linear, or positive with decreasing gradient. The gradient of the curve to the lhs of the
cusp/minimum should always be negative. The curve in this section should not ‘bend’ back past (1, 0)
forming a ‘C’ shape or have incorrect curvature.
See practice and qualification for clarification.

B1 The curve touches or crosses the x axis at (1, 0). Allow for the curve passing through a point marked ‘1’

on the x axis. Condone the point marked on the correct axis as (0, 1)

B1 Award for a cusp, not a minimum at (1,0)

Note that f ( x ) scores B0 B1 B0 under the scheme.

If the graphs are not labelled (a) and (b), then they are to be marked in the order they are presented

(a)
B1 R = 50 . Accept 5 2 Accept R = ± 50
Do not accept R = (7 2 + 12 ) or the decimal equivalent 7.07…unless you see 50 or 5 2 as well

R R
A1 α = awrt 8.1 .
Be aware that tan α = 7 ⇒ α = 81.9 can easily be mistaken for the correct answer
Note that the radian answer awrt 0.1418… is A0

(b)
5
M1 For using their answers to part (a) and moving from Rcos( x ± α ) = 5 ⇒ cos( x ± α ) = using their
R
numerical values of R and α
This may be implied for sight of 53.1 if R and α were correct

M1 For achieving x ± α = awrt 450 or 315, leading to one value of x in the range
Note that for this to be scored R has to be correct (to 2sf) as awrt 45, 315 must be achieved
This may be implied for achieving an answer of either 45 + their α or 315 + their α

A1 One correct answer, either awrt 53.1⁰ or 323.1⁰

M1 For an attempt at finding a secondary value of x in the range.

Usually this is an attempt at solving x − their 8.10 = 3600 − their 450 ⇒ x = ..

A1 Both values correct awrt 53.1⁰ and 323.1⁰.

Withhold this mark if there are extra values in the range.
Ignore extra values outside the range
(c )
k k
M1 For stating that = 1 OR = −1
their R their R
This may be implied by seeing k = (± )their R

A1ft Both values k = ± 50 oe . Follow through on their numerical R

Answers all in radians. Lose the first time that it appears but demand an accuracy of 2dp.

Part (a) R = 50 α = awrt 0.14

Part (b) x = awrt 0.927, 5.64 . Accuracy must be to 3 sf.

Notes for Question 7

(a)
M1 Solves x 2 + 3x + 1 = 0 by completing the square or the formula, producing two ‘non integer answers. Do
not accept factorisation here . Accept awrt -0.4 and -2.6 for this mark
