, MARK SCHEME – AS SPANISH – 7691/2 – JUNE 2023
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant
questions, 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 in
this 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 examination
paper.

Guidance on level of accuracy in translations into the target language
Errors of accent
Errors of accent are accepted unless (a) they are grammatical or (b) the inclusion of the accent(s)
causes ambiguity.
Errors of spelling
Errors of spelling will not be tolerated.
Tense endings, irregular verb forms and adjective endings must be correct.
Errors of gender
Errors of gender will not be tolerated. Genders of nouns are clearly an area where guidance can be
provided in the passage that supports the translation task.
Alternative answers
Alternative answers offered by the candidate – even if one is in brackets – will be rejected unless both
answers are correct.
A successful translation
A successful translation is one which includes each element of the text to be translated and where there
is no omission or paraphrase.
Repeated errors
Where a candidate repeats the same error within a question, no further penalty will be imposed in
awarding the mark.
