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.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate
has replaced it with an alternative response.
• 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)
