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 awrt – answer which rounds to
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.
www.htrmathematics.com

• 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 there is a choice of methods shown, mark the method that leads to the
answer on the answer line; where no answer is given on the answer line,
award the lowest mark from the methods shown.
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 to another.

( k )( –k + 7 )( k + 3) = 0 or M1dep on second M mark. Correct method for solving their 3-term
quadratic – either by formula, completing the square or factorising.
( k – 7 )( k + 3) = 0 By factorising: brackets must expand to give 2 out of 3 correct
terms
By formula: correct substitution into fully correct formula (allow 1
sign error)
By completing the square: must see ( k − 2 )  ...
