What a lost mark actually looks like

This answer reaches the right coordinates and still drops a mark — the conclusion is stated, but never justified. Examiners pay for the reasoning, not the answer.

M1dy/dx = 3x^2 - 12x + 9M1 earned
M1(x - 1) $(x - 3) = 0$ M1 earned
A1 $x = 1$ or $x = 3$ A1 earned
B1(1, 5) is a maximum and (3, 1) is a minimumB1 not earned

B1 — withheld
You stated the nature of each point correctly, but stated it without justification. This mark needs the reasoning shown — either evaluate the second derivative (d²y/dx² = 6x − 12, giving −6 at $x = 1$ and +6 at $x = 3$ ) or show a sign change of dy/dx either side of each point. An unsupported assertion earns nothing here even when the conclusion is right.
