Mark Scheme
Mock Paper (set1)
Pearson Edexcel GCE A Level Mathematics
Pure Mathematics 1 (9MA0/01)
dp decimal places
sf significant figures
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 answers
that don’t logically make sense e.g. if an answer given for a probability is >1 or
<0, should never be awarded A marks.
they wish to submit, examiners should mark this response.
If there are several attempts at a question which have not been crossed out,
examiners should mark the final answer which is the answer that is the most
complete.
