Mark scheme
June 2022
Version: 1.0 Final Mark Scheme
,Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the
relevantquestions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments
made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was
used by them inthis examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers
the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same
correct way.
As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative
answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the
standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are
required to refer these to the Lead Examiner.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed
and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future
mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding
principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a
particular examinationpaper.
Further copies of this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk
