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.
No student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to the
gender identity of others in their exam responses.
A consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will be
credited in exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.

General principles of marking
Non-verbal answers
Follow the mark scheme as set out.
Verbal answers (English or target language)
1. The basic principle of assessment is that students should gain credit for what they know,
understand and can do; provided their written response communicates the required message without
ambiguity, it will get the mark. The following guidance should be borne in mind when marking.
a) Credit should be given for all answers which convey the key idea required intelligibly and
without ambiguity. This applies whether the answer is in English or target language. A
separate assessment of spelling, punctuation and grammar is not required because of the nature
of the answers. However, these aspects are an integral part of assessing communication and
marks cannot be awarded where errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar lead to a failure to
communicate the required information without ambiguity.
b) Where a student has given alternatives or additional information in an answer, the following
criteria should be applied: – if the alternative/addition does not contradict the key idea/make it
ambiguous, accept – if the alternative/addition contradicts the key idea or makes it
ambiguous, reject.
c) Where numbered lines are given within a question/section of a question, credit should be
given for correct answers, no matter which line they appear on.
d) Where a question has more than one section (eg (i) and (ii)), a candidate may include as part
of the answer to one section the information required to answer another section. Eg, in
Listening, information required to answer section (ii) might be given as part of the answer to
section (i). In such cases, credit should be given for having answered section (ii), provided that
no incorrect answer has been given for that section in the correct place on the question paper.
2. In questions where students are asked to give for example a list of three items, only the first three
items they write down should be considered for assessment purposes.
3. No mark scheme can cover all possible answers. When in doubt, look for the key idea.
4. Where a student has crossed out an answer and what was underneath remains legible then it should
be marked. When part of an answer is crossed out, then only what remains should be considered.
5. .../.. means that these are acceptable alternative answers in the mark scheme. (...... ) means that this
information is not needed for full marks to be awarded.
6. In questions which are T/F/? or /X/? in either Section A or Section B, a mix and match approach
should be tolerated and credit given where it is clear and unambiguous (eg consistent use by the
