M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method
marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units.
However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention
of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be
applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant
quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula
being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can
be implied from a correct answer.
• When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are
generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly
when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used
to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B
(asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the
candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given.
• The symbol √ implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly
following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for
correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or
results obtained from incorrect working.
The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt
whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the
doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost,
e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored.
• Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the
scheme specifically indicates otherwise.
• For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct
to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an
angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer
arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B
marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of
10.
• The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts:
BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be
absolutely clear)
MR Misread

question)
