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
 PMT

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.
• 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.

International GCSE Maths

Apart from Questions 3b, 13, 17 and 18 (where the mark scheme states otherwise), the correct answer, unless clearly obtained by an incorrect
method, should be taken to imply a correct method.
