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.

EDEXCEL GCE MATHEMATICS

General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for the paper is 125.

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)
 d… or dep – dependent
 indep – independent
 dp decimal places
 sf significant figures
  The answer is printed on the paper or ag- answer given
 or d… 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.
 PhysicsAndMathsTutor.com January 2015 (IAL)

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.

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
( x2  bx  c)  ( x  p)(x  q), where pq  c , leading to x = …
(ax2  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

Solving x 2  bx  c  0 : (x  b2 )2  q  c, q  0, leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

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
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.

A1 Awrt 22.44 m. Accept 12+ 109
(b) (ii)
M1 For arriving at a solution for t from 30t  '16.70 '  180  t  ..
If radians were used in part a then accept 30t  '0.29 '    t  ..
A1 t  awrt 5.44 only.
If multiple solutions are found, 5.44 must be referred to as their ‘chosen’ solution

Answers from calculus will be rare. They can be scored as follows.
From the original function:
For (b)(ii) M1 d H  0  3 0 t  1 8 0  ' arctan  3  '  t  .. A1 t  awrt 5.44 only
dt  10 
(b)(i) M1 Sub their t  awrt 5.44 obtained from d H  0 A1 Awrt 22.44 m
dt
From the adapted function:
For (b)(ii) M1 d H  0   30 t  '16.70 '   180  t  .. A1 t  awrt 5.44 only
dt
(b)(i) M1 Sub their t  awrt 5.44 obtained from d H  0 A1 Awrt 22.44 m
dt
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(c)
M1 Attempts to substitute H  18 into H  12  10cos30t  3sin 30t and use their answer to part (a) to
proceed to cos(30t  their '16.70 ')  ...

A1 cos(30 t  their '16.70 ')  or awrt  0.57 . It may be implied by 30t  '16.70'  awrt125
109
dM1 Dependent upon previous M. Score for cos(30 t  '16.70 ')   ...  t  ..
The cos(..) must be negative, the order of operations must be seen to be correct with the ‘invcos’
being attempted first and the second quadrant must be chosen for their calculation.
A1 t  3.61.
The answer with no incorrect working scores all 4 marks.
If multiple solutions are found, 3.61 must be referred to as their ‘chosen’ solution

(d)
M1 Attempting 30t  360  t  .. or 30t  720  t  ..
A1 24 minutes. Both 24 and minutes are required.
