(b) If consider car: then get 1400 = 2380 630 .
Allow M1 A1 for equn of motion for car or trailer wherever seen (e.g. in (a)).
So if consider two separately in (a), can get M1 A1 from (b) for one equation; then
M1 A1 from (a) for second equation, and then A1 [(a)] for and A1 [(b)] for .
In equations of motion, M1 requires no missing or extra terms and dimensionally
correct (e.g. extra force, or missing mass, is M0). If unclear which body is being
considered, assume that the body is determined by the mass used. Hence if 1400
used, assume it is the car and mark forces etc accordingly. But allow e.g. 630/280
confused as an A error.
(c) Must be finding a
acceleration here. (If they get 1.25 erroneously in (a),
and then simply assume it is the same acceln here, it is M0).
(d) Allow o.e. but you must be convinced they are saying that it is same
acceleration for both bodies. E.g. acceleration constant on its own is B0
Ignore extras, but acceleration and tension same at and is B0

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
candidates 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 candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it
with an alternative response.

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
and can be used if you are using the annotation facility on ePEN.

! The answer is printed on the paper
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.
General Principals for Core Mathematics Marking

(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).
Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:
1. Factorisation
( x 2 + bx + c ) = ( x + p )( x + q ), where pq = c
, leading to x = ....
( ax + bx + c ) = ( mx + p )( nx + q ), where pq = c and mn = a
, leading to x =
2. Formula
Attempt to use correct formula (with values for a, b and c), leading to x =
3. Completing the square
Solving
+ bx
+ c = 0
( x b2 )
q c, q 0 ,
leading to x =
Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x
n
2. Integration
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x
n 1
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 mistakes
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.

manifestly absurd answers should never be awarded A marks.
General Principles for Mechanics Marking

Usual rules for M marks: correct no. of terms; dim correct; all terms that need
resolving (i.e. multiplied by cos or sin) are resolved.
Omission or extra g in a resolution is accuracy error not method error.
Omission of mass from a resolution is method error.
Omission of a length from a moments equation is a method error.
Omission of units or incorrect units is not (usually) counted as an accuracy error.
DM indicates a dependent method mark i.e. one that can only be awarded if a
previous specified method mark has been awarded.
Any numerical answer which comes from use of g = 9.8 should be given to 2 or 3 SF.
Use of g = 9.81 should be penalised once per (complete) question.
N.B. Over-accuracy or under-accuracy of correct answers should only be penalised
ONCE per complete question.
However, premature approximation should be penalised every time it occurs.
MARKS MUST BE ENTERED IN THE SAME ORDER AS THEY APPEAR ON THE MARK
SCHEME.
In all cases, if the candidate clearly labels their working under a particular part of a
question i.e. (a) or (b) or (c),then that working can only score marks for that part
of the question.
Accept column vectors in all cases.

First A2 for a correct equation (A1A0 one error, A0A0 for two or more errors)
Second A1 for either 52 or 52.4
N.B. In part (a), the M1 is for a complete method, so they must have sufficient equations to be able to solve
for R. The A2 marks are then for all the equations.
Question 3(b)
B1 for use of F=R (could just be on diagram)
First M1 (allow if F is used rather than R) for resolving parallel to the plane with usual criteria
First A2 for a correct equation (A1A0 one error, A0A0 for two or more errors)
Second A1 for either 0.14 or 0.137
N.B. If they resolve vertically AND horizontally, there are max 6 marks available (M1A2, M1A2) for the
TWO equations, but if they only have one equation, there are no marks available for that equation.
The marks for the horizontal resolution should be entered first on ePen.

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 candidates 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 candidates response, the team
leader must be consulted.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the
candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

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.
In some instances, the mark distributions (e.g. M1, B1 and A1) printed on
the candidates response may differ from the final mark scheme.

These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in
the mark schemes.

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 incorrect 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.
8. The maximum mark allocation for each question/part question(item) is set
out in the marking grid and you should allocate a score of 0 or 1 for
each mark, or trait, as shown:

Usual rules for M marks: correct no. of terms; dim correct; all terms
that need resolving (i.e. multiplied by cos or sin) are resolved.
Omission or extra g in a resolution is accuracy error not method error.
Omission of units or incorrect units is not (usually) counted as an
accuracy error.
DM indicates a dependent method mark i.e. one that can only be awarded if a previous
specified method mark has been awarded.
Any numerical answer which comes from use of g = 9.8 should be given to 2 or 3 SF.
N.B. Over-accuracy or under-accuracy of correct answers should only be penalised ONCE
per complete question.
In all cases, if the candidate clearly labels their working under a particular part of a
question i.e. (a) or (b) or (c),then that working can only score marks for that part of
the question.
Misreads if a misread does not alter the character of a question or materially simplify
it, deduct two from any A or B marks gained, bearing in mind that after a misread, the
subsequent A marks affected are treated as A ft.

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.
There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should
be used appropriately.
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.

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.

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.
8. In some instances, the mark distributions (e.g. M1, B1 and A1) printed on the
candidates response may differ from the final mark scheme
General Rules for Marking Mechanics

Usual rules for M marks: correct no. of terms; dim correct; all terms
that need resolving (i.e. multiplied by cos or sin) are resolved.
Omission or extra g in a resolution is accuracy error not method
error.
Omission of units or incorrect units is not (usually) counted as an
accuracy error.
DM indicates a dependent method mark i.e. one that can only be
awarded if a previous specified method mark has been awarded.
Any numerical answer which comes from use of g = 9.8 should be
given to 2 or 3 SF.
N.B. Over-accuracy or under-accuracy of correct answers should only
be penalised ONCE per complete question.
In all cases, if the candidate clearly labels their working under a
particular part of a question i.e. (a) or (b) or (c),then that working
can only score marks for that part of the question.
Misreads if a misread does not alter the character of a question or
materially simplify it, deduct two from any A or B marks gained,
bearing in mind that after a misread, the subsequent A marks
affected are treated as A ft.
