References to third party materials in these specimen papers are made in good faith.
Pearson does not endorse, approve or accept responsibility for the content of materials,
which may be subject to change, or any opinions expressed therein. (Material may include
textbooks, journals, magazines and other publications and websites.)
All information in this document is correct at time of publication.
1 All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded; exemplification/indicative content will not be
exhaustive.
2 All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded; mark schemes
should be applied positively. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks
if the candidates response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. If
there is a wrong answer (or no 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.
Questions where working is not required: In general, the correct answer should
be given full marks.
Questions that specifically require working: In general, candidates who do not
show working on this type of question will get no marks full details will be given in
the mark scheme for each individual question.
4 Choice of method
If there is a choice of methods shown, mark the method that leads to the answer
given on the answer line.
If no answer appears on the answer line, mark both methods then award the
lower number of marks.
5 Incorrect method
If it is clear from the working that the correct answer has been obtained from
incorrect working, award 0 marks. Send the response to review for your Team
Leader to check.
8 Probability
Probability answers must be given as a fraction, percentage or decimal. If a
candidate gives a decimal equivalent to a probability, this should be written to at
least 2 decimal places (unless tenths).
Incorrect notation should lose the accuracy marks, but be awarded any implied
method marks.
If a probability answer is given on the answer line using both incorrect and correct
notation, award the marks.
If a probability fraction is given then cancelled incorrectly, ignore the incorrectly
cancelled answer.
9 Linear equations
Unless indicated otherwise in the mark scheme, full marks can be gained if the
solution alone is given on the answer line, or otherwise unambiguously identified in
working (without contradiction elsewhere). Where the correct solution only is shown
substituted, but not identified as the solution, the accuracy mark is lost but any
method marks can be awarded (embedded answers).
10 Range of answers
Unless otherwise stated, when an answer is given as a range (e.g 3.5 4.2) then
this is inclusive of the end points (e.g 3.5, 4.2) and all numbers within the range.
