• 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
• No working
PMT
• Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the
question CANNOT be awarded to another.
PMT
1. Factorisation:
( x + bx + c ) = ( x + p )( x + q ) , where pq = c leading to x = ....
2
2. Formula:
Attempt to use the correct formula (shown explicitly or implied by working) with
values for a, b and c, leading to x = ....
1. Differentiation
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. (x n
→ x n −1 )
2. Integration:
Power of at least one term increased by 1. (x n
→ x n +1 )
Use of a formula:
quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are mistakes in
the substitution of values
or, where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication
from the substitution of correct values and then proceeding to a solution.
General policy is that if it could be done "in your head" detailed working would not be
required. (Mark schemes may override this eg in a case of "prove or show...."
Exact answers:
When a question demands an exact answer, all the working must also be exact. Once a
candidate loses exactness by resorting to decimals the exactness cannot be regained.

Mark Notes
M1 Applies the discriminant on the given QE
Ignore = 0, 0, 0
This must be correct for this mark ( k + 8) − 4 2 k .
2
Ignore subsequent simplification errors.
dM1 Completes the square ONLY on their expression for the discriminant
provided it is a 3TQ
The expression must be of the form ( k + 4 ) X
2
where X 0, 64
NB: This mark is dependent on the first M mark.
Use of calculus to find k = – 4 is M0
A1 For the correct expression.
A1 For a suitable conclusion.
Only accept for this final mark a conclusion as follows [or an
equivalent].
( k + 4) 0 and so ( k + 4 ) + 48 0 hence it will always have (real),
2 2
distinct roots.
Note: ( k + 4 ) + 48 0 is A0

PMT
A1 The graph is placed correctly with the min point in the 4th quadrant.
A1 Conclusion: the graph is always positive with its min point as shown in
the diagram. This means that k 2 + 8k + 64 0 and therefore the
discriminant will be > 0 meaning that the equation has distinct real roots
for all values of k.
