Examiners should consistently apply the following general marking principles:

M2 = q 11 –7 correct answer can be obtained by using an incorrect method, we must award full marks. However, the
30 –9 r obvious penalty to candidates showing no working is that incorrect answers, however close, earn no
marks.
Find the value of p, the value of q and the value of r
[2 marks] Where a question asks the candidate to state or write down a result, no method need be shown for full
marks.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Where the permitted calculator has functions which reasonably allow the solution of the question directly,
_______________________________________________________________________________________
the correct answer without working earns full marks, unless it is given to less than the degree of
accuracy accepted in the mark scheme, when it gains no marks.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Otherwise we require evidence of a correct method for any marks to be awarded.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Diagrams
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Diagrams that have working on them should be treated like normal responses. If a diagram has been
_______________________________________________________________________________________ written on but the correct response is within the answer space, the work within the answer space should
be marked. Working on diagrams that contradicts work within the answer space is not to be considered
_______________________________________________________________________________________ as choice but as working, and is not, therefore, penalised.
_______________________________________________________________________________________ Work erased or crossed out
_______________________________________________________________________________________ Erased or crossed out work that is still legible and has not been replaced should be marked. Erased or
crossed out work that has been replaced can be ignored.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Choice
_______________________________________________________________________________________
When a choice of answers and/or methods is given and the student has not clearly indicated which
_______________________________________________________________________________________ answer they want to be marked, mark positively, awarding marks for all of the student’s best attempts.
Withhold marks for final accuracy and conclusions if there are conflicting complete answers or when an
_______________________________________________________________________________________ incorrect solution (or part thereof) is referred to in the final answer.
