General Marking Guidance

• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Exam-

iners 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 candi-
date has replaced it with an alternative response.

PEARSON EDEXCEL IAL 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
These are marks given for a correct method or an attempt at a correct method. In Mechanics
they are usually awarded for the application of some mechanical principle to produce an equa-
tion.
e.g. resolving in a particular direction, taking moments about a point, applying a suvat equa-
tion, applying the conservation of momentum principle etc.
The following criteria are usually applied to the equation.

To earn the M mark, the equation

(i) should have the correct number of terms
(ii) be dimensionally correct i.e. all the terms need to be dimensionally correct
e.g. in a moments equation, every term must be a ‘force x distance’ term or ‘mass x distance’, if
we allow them to cancel ‘g’ s.
For a resolution, all terms that need to be resolved (multiplied by sin or cos) must be resolved
to earn the M mark.

M marks are sometimes dependent (DM) on previous M marks having been earned.
e.g. when two simultaneous equations have been set up by, for example, resolving in two di-
rections and there is then an M mark for solving the equations to find a particular quantity –
this M mark is often dependent on the two previous M marks having been earned.

‘A’ marks
These are dependent accuracy (or sometimes answer) marks and can only be awarded if the
previous M mark has been earned. E.g. M0 A1 is impossible.

‘B’ marks
These are independent accuracy marks where there is no method (e.g. often given for a com-
ment or for a graph)

A few of the A and B marks may be f.t. – follow through – marks.

 PMT

3. General 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 indi-
cate 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 at-
tempts and score the highest single attempt.

7. Ignore wrong working or incorrect statements following a correct answer.

General Principles for Pure 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
Solving x + bx + c = 0 : ( x  b2 )2  q  c, q  0, leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

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

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

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 small
mistakes in the substitution of values.
Where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication from cor-
rect 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. Most candidates do show working, but there are
occasional awkward cases and if the mark scheme does not cover this, please contact your
team leader for advice.

e.g. 63 − 53 = 91 = 7 13 so not true for n = 5, hence statement is not true. A1
(2)
Notes for part (i)
M1: Shows evidence of trying to find a counter example for a positive integer (at
least one attempt).
23 − 13 is prime is sufficient.
A1: Gives a correct counter example with reason (shows factorisation) and
concludes e.g. “which is not prime”. Ignore any previous “incorrect” attempts e.g.
63− 53 = 91 which is prime.
Note n = 7 (169 = 13×13) and n = 8 (217 = 7×31) and n = 12 (469 = 7×67) are the
next few counter examples. (Bigger examples are not likely to be seen!)
Allow equivalent reasons for not being prime e.g. 169/13 = 13 or 169 is divisible by
13 (condone “can be divided by 13”)
Generally algebraic approaches score no marks unless they substitute numbers
as indicated above.
3(ii) The majority of methods here will follow ways 1, 2 or 3 below
In these cases the general guidance is as follows:
M1: Attempts to find

• the gradient of any relevant line, e.g. AC or BC or

• the length of any relevant line, e.g. AB/AB2 or BC/BC2 or AC/AC2 or
• the mid-point M of line AB

A1: Correct relevant calculation of

• gradients AC and BC
• lengths of lines AB/AB2, BC/BC2 and AC/AC2
• mid-point of line AB

dM1: Full attempt at combining all relevant information required to solve the prob-
lem

• attempts product of gradients or equivalent

• attempts to show Pythagoras AB2 = AC2 + BC2
• attempts to show MA2 = MC2

A1: Correct calculations or equivalent providing required evidence for the above

A1: Provides correct reason and conclusion with all previous marks scored.

As the length from M to each of A and C is the same M is the centre of the circle A1
hence AB is a diameter. (Or equivalent)

M1: Attempts midpoint of AB. If no method is shown accept one correct coordinate as evidence.
A1: Correct midpoint
dM1: Attempts length of MC and at least one of MA or MB, or AB. As M is midpoint of AB there is no need to
find both MA and MB, these may be assumed to be the same. If they find AB then they must halve it to find
the radius.
A1: All required calculations correct for this approach.
A1: Suitable explanation made which may be in a preamble and conclusion given with no errors and all
previous marks awarded.

dM1: Removes logs correctly and proceeds from an equation of the form ab = K and the
given equation a − b = 8 to a quadratic equation in either a or b.
A1: Correct quadratic equation. Brackets must be expanded but terms not necessarily all on one
side. The “ =0” may be implied by their attempt to solve.
M1: Solves a 3TQ in a or b to obtain a positive solution. There is no need to see the
negative solution in their working.
M1: Uses their a to find b or vice versa. This depends on having solved a 3TQ earlier and obtained a
root of the form p + q r , p, q, r  0 to obtain another root of a similar form i.e. not a decimal.
The value of a or b does not necessarily have to be positive for this mark.
Note that having found a or b they may repeat the process above to find the other value which
is acceptable.

dM1: Expands both sets of brackets and collects terms in x2 and x.
 PMT

A1*: Reaches the answer given with no errors seen.

Note that some candidates expand the brackets first before substitution e.g.:
( x − 3)2 + ( y − 5)2 = r 2  x 2 − 6 x + 9 + y 2 − 10 y + 25 = r 2  x 2 − 6 x + 9 + ( 2 x + k ) − 10 ( 2 x + k ) + 25 = r 2

This implies the first M and then the second M will score when terms in x2 and x are collected.
Note about poor squaring e.g. ( x − 3) 2 = x 2 + 9 : The first M is available in both cases above but
the second M requires at least two x2 terms and at least two x terms from the expansions.

Note that it is acceptable to go from a completely correct full expansion to the printed answer e.g.
( x − 3)2 + ( y − 5)2 = r 2  x 2 − 6 x + 9 + y 2 − 10 y + 25 = r 2  x 2 − 6 x + 9 + ( 2 x + k ) − 10 ( 2 x + k ) + 25 = r 2
