Annotation Meaning
Correct response Used to indicate the point at which a mark has been awarded (one tick per mark awarded).
Incorrect response Used to indicate an incorrect answer or a point where a mark is lost.
AE Arithmetic error
Do not allow the mark where the error occurs. Then follow through the working/calculation giving full subsequent ECF if
there are no further errors.
BOD Benefit of doubt given
Used to indicate a mark awarded where the candidate provides an answer that is not totally satisfactory, but the
examiner feels that sufficient work has been done.
BP Blank page Use BP on additional page(s) to show that there is no additional work provided by the candidates.
CON Contradiction No mark can be awarded if the candidate contradicts himself or herself in the same response.
ECF Error carried forward
Used in numerical answers only, unless specified otherwise in the mark scheme. Answers to later sections of numerical
questions may be awarded up to full credit provided they are consistent with earlier incorrect answers. Within a
question, ECF can be given for AE, TE and POT errors but not forXP.
L1 Level 1 L1 is used to show 2 marks awarded and L1^ is used to show 1 mark awarded.
L2 Level 2 L2 is used to show 4 marks awarded and L2^ is used to show 3 marks awarded.
L3 Level 3 L3 is used to show 6 marks awarded and L3^ is used to show 5 marks awarded.
POT Power of 10 error
This is usually linked to conversion of SI prefixes. Do not allow the mark where the error occurs. Then follow through
the working/calculation giving ECF for subsequent marks if there are no further errors.
SEEN Seen To indicate working/text has been seen by the examiner.
SF Error in number of
significant figures
Where more SFs are given than is justified by the question, do not penalise. Fewer significant figures than necessary
will be considered within the mark scheme. Penalised only once in the paper.
TE Transcription error
This error is when there is incorrect transcription of the correct data from the question, graphical read-off, formulae
booklet or a previous answer. Do not allow the relevant mark and then follow through the working giving ECF for
subsequent marks.
XP Wrong physics or
equation
Used in numerical answers only, unless otherwise specified in the mark scheme. Use of an incorrect equation is wrong
physics even if it happens to lead to the correct answer.
