General marking principles for National 5 MathematicsAlways apply these general principles. Use them in conjunction with the detailed markinginstructions, which identify the key features required in candidates’ responses.For each question, the marking instructions are generally in two sections: generic scheme — this indicates why each mark is awardedillustrative scheme — this covers methods which are commonly seen throughout the markingIn general, you should use the illustrative scheme. Only use the generic scheme where a candidatehas used a method not covered in the illustrative scheme.(a)Always use positive marking. This means candidates accumulate marks for the demonstration ofrelevant skills, knowledge and understanding; marks are not deducted for errors or omissions.(b)If you are uncertain how to assess a specific candidate response because it is not covered by thegeneral marking principles or the detailed marking instructions, you must seek guidance fromyour team leader.(c)One mark is available for each . There are no half marks.(d)If a candidate’s response contains an error, all working subsequent to this error must still bemarked. Only award marks if the level of difficulty in their working is similar to the level ofdifficulty in the illustrative scheme.(e)Only award full marks where the solution contains appropriate working. A correct answer withno working receives no mark, unless specifically mentioned in the marking instructions.(f)Candidates may use any mathematically correct method to answer questions, except in caseswhere a particular method is specified or excluded.(g)If an error is trivial, casual or insignificant, for example 6 x 6 12, candidates lose theopportunity to gain a mark, except for instances such as the second example in point (h) below.page 02

(h)If a candidate makes a transcription error (question paper to script or within script),they lose the opportunity to gain the next process mark, for exampleThis is a transcription error and sothe mark is not awarded.x2 5 x 7 9 x 4x 4x 3 0This is no longer a solution of aquadratic equation, so the mark isnot awarded.x 1The following example is an exception to the abovex2 5 x 7 9 x 4This error is not treated as atranscription error, as thecandidate deals with the intendedquadratic equation. The candidatehas been given the benefit of thedoubt and all marks awarded.(i)x 4x 3 0( x 3)( x 1) 0x 1 or 3Horizontal/vertical markingIf a question results in two pairs of solutions, apply the following technique, but only ifindicated in the detailed marking instructions for the question.Example: 5 6 x 2 x 4 6 y 5 y 75Horizontal: 5 x 2 and x 4 6 y 5 and y 7Vertical: 5 x 2 and y 5 6 x 4 and y 7You must choose whichever method benefits the candidate, not a combination of both.(j)In final answers, candidates should simplify numerical values as far as possible unlessspecifically mentioned in the detailed marking instruction. For example1551must be simplified toor 1124415must be simplified to 500·343must be simplified to 43145 must be simplified to 415364 must be simplified to 8**The square root of perfect squares up to and including 100 must be known.page 03

(k)Commonly Observed Responses (COR) are shown in the marking instructions to help markcommon and/or non-routine solutions. CORs may also be used as a guide when markingsimilar non-routine candidate responses.(l)Do not penalise candidates for any of the following, unless specifically mentioned in thedetailed marking instructions: working subsequent to a correct answercorrect working in the wrong part of a questionlegitimate variations in numerical answers/algebraic expressions, for example anglesin degrees rounded to nearest degreeomission of unitsbad form (bad form only becomes bad form if subsequent working is correct), forexample( x3 2 x 2 3 x 2)(2 x 1) written as( x 3 2 x 2 3 x 2) 2 x 1 2 x 4 5 x3 8 x 2 7 x 2gains full credit repeated error within a question, but not between questions or papers(m) In any ‘Show that ’ question, where candidates have to arrive at a required result, thelast mark is not awarded as a follow-through from a previous error, unless specified inthe detailed marking instructions.(n)You must check all working carefully, even where a fundamental misunderstanding isapparent early in a candidate’s response. You may still be able to award marks later inthe question so you must refer continually to the marking instructions. The appearanceof the correct answer does not necessarily indicate that you can award all the availablemarks to a candidate.(o)You should mark legible scored-out working that has not been replaced. However, if thescored-out working has been replaced, you must only mark the replacement working.(p)If candidates make multiple attempts using the same strategy and do not identify theirfinal answer, mark all attempts and award the lowest mark. If candidates try differentvalid strategies, apply the above rule to attempts within each strategy and then awardthe highest mark.For example:Strategy 1 attempt 1 is worth 3marks.Strategy 2 attempt 1 is worth 1 mark.Strategy 1 attempt 2 is worth 4marks.Strategy 2 attempt 2 is worth 5marks.From the attempts using strategy 1,the resultant mark would be 3.From the attempts using strategy 2,the resultant mark would be 1.In this case, award 3 marks.page 04
