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.
3. Abbreviations
These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in the mark
schemes.
ft follow through
the symbol
cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the question to
obtain this mark
d or dep dependent
indep independent
dp decimal places
sf significant figures
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.
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.
( 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 the correct formula (with values for a, b and c).
Solving x bx c 0 : x q c 0, q 0 , leading to x =
2
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 small
errors 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.

part (a).
M1 requires the correct structure for the y values. It needs to contain first y value plus last y
value and the second bracket to be multiplied by 2 and to be the summation of the remaining
y values in the table with no additional values. If the only mistake is a copying error or is to
omit one value from 2(..) bracket this may be regarded as a slip and the M mark can be
allowed (nb: an extra repeated term, however, forfeits the M mark). M0 if any values used
are x values instead of y values.

An incorrect inequality statement at any stage in a candidates working loses the final mark.
Some candidates do not realise that the direction of the inequality is reversed in the final line
of their solution. BUT it is possible to gain full marks for using =, as long as no incorrect
working seen.
