Unit 3: 5MB3H_01 (Higher)
Edexcel is one of the leading examining and awarding bodies in the UK and
throughout the world. We provide a wide range of qualifications including
academic, vocational, occupational and specific programmes for employers.
Through a network of UK and overseas offices, Edexcels centres receive the
support they need to help them deliver their education and training programmes
to learners.

NOTES ON MARKING PRINCIPLES

1 All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark
the last.

2 Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than
penalised for omissions.

3 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 candidates response is not
worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.

4 Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification
may be limited.

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

6 Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of QWC, are being assessed. The strands are as follows:

i) ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuation and grammar are accurate so that meaning is clear
Comprehension and meaning is clear by using correct notation and labeling conventions.

ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to complex subject matter
Reasoning, explanation or argument is correct and appropriately structured to convey mathematical reasoning.

iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary when appropriate.
The mathematical methods and processes used are coherently and clearly organised and the appropriate mathematical
vocabulary used.
7 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If working is crossed out and still legible, then it should be given any appropriate marks, as long as it has not been replaced by
alternative work.
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, and discuss each of these situations with your Team Leader.
If there is no answer on the answer line then check the working for an obvious answer.
Any case of suspected misread loses A (and B) marks on that part, but can gain the M marks. Discuss each of these situations
with your Team Leader.
If there is a choice of methods shown, then no marks should be awarded, unless the answer on the answer line makes clear the
method that has been used.

8 Follow through marks

Follow through marks which involve a single stage calculation can be awarded without working since you can check the answer
yourself, but if ambiguous do not award.
Follow through marks which involve more than one stage of calculation can only be awarded on sight of the relevant working, even
if it appears obvious that there is only one way you could get the answer given.

9 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: e.g. incorrect canceling 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 e.g. algebra.
Transcription errors occur when candidates present a correct answer in working, and write it incorrectly on the answer line; mark
the correct answer.

10 Probability
Probability answers must be given a fractions, percentages or decimals. 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.
11 Linear equations
Full marks can be gained if the solution alone is given on the answer line, or otherwise unambiguously indicated 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.

12 Parts of questions
Unless allowed by the mark scheme, the marks allocated to one part of the question CANNOT be awarded in another.

13 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 includes all numbers within the range (e.g 4, 4.1)
