2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the scoris 50% and 100%. If you experience problems, you must
contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the Scoris messaging system, or
by email.

5. Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not
marked. Where no alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and
mark the crossed out response where legible.
Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than
required, then all responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given. Enter a mark for each
question answered into RM assessor, which will select the highest mark from those awarded. (The underlying assumption is
that the candidate has penalised themselves by attempting more questions than necessary in the time allowed.)
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or high tariff question which only required a single
(developed) response and not crossed out the first response, then only the first response should be marked. Examiners will
need to apply professional judgement as to whether the second (or a subsequent) response is a ‘new start’ or simply a poorly
expressed continuation of the first response.
6. Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there. If
the candidate has continued an answer there then add ‘Seen’ to confirm that the work has been seen.
7. Award No Response (NR) if:
• there is nothing written in the answer space.
Award Zero ‘0’ if:
• anything is written in the answer space and is not worthy of credit (this includes text and symbols).
Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should
check this when reviewing scripts.
If you have any questions or comments for your Team Leader, use the phone, the RM messaging system, or email.

8. Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to your Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the
marking period. The Assistant Examiner’s Report Form (AERF) can be found on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal (and
for traditional marking it is in the Instructions for Examiners). Your report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well
as common errors or weaknesses. Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark scheme is also appreciated.
9. For answers marked by levels of response:
a. To determine the level – start at the highest level and work down until you reach the level that matches the answer
b. To determine the mark within the level, consider the following:
Descriptor Award mark
On the borderline of this level and the one At bottom of level
below
Just enough achievement on balance for this Above bottom and either below middle or at middle of level (depending on number of marks
level available)
Meets the criteria but with some slight Above middle and either below top of level or at middle of level (depending on number of
inconsistency marks available)
Consistently meets the criteria for this level At top of level
10. Annotations used in the detailed Mark Scheme (to include abbreviations and subject-specific conventions)
Annotation Meaning
Blank Page – this annotation must be used on all blank pages within an answer booklet
(structured or unstructured) and on each page of an additional object where there is no candidate
