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
 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.
If a candidate misreads a number from the question. Eg. Uses 252 instead of 255;
method marks may be awarded provided the question has not been simplified.
Examiners should send any instance of a suspected misread to review. 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long as it has not been replaced by alternative work.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.
Apart from questions 6, 8, 13b and 24 (where the mark scheme states otherwise) the correct answer, unless clearly obtained from an
incorrect method, should be taken to imply a correct method.
