All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly
the same way as they mark the first.
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what theyhave
shown they can do, rather than be penalised for omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception ofwhere
the grade boundaries may lie.
All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full
marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to
award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit, according to the mark scheme.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which
marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive.However,
different examples of responses will be provided at standardisation.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s
response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark is given.
Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
Plans (whether in the planning box provided for writing questions, or in the lined response area of
the question paper/answer booklet) should not be marked unless no other responseto the question has
been provided. This applies whether the plan is crossed out or not.
Marking guidance for levels-based mark schemes
How to award marks
The indicative content provides examples of how candidates will meet each skill assessed in the question.
The levels descriptors and indicative content reflect the relative weighting of each skill within each mark
level.
Finding the right level
The first stage is to decide which level the answer should be placed in. To do this, use a ‘best -fit’
approach, deciding which level most closely describes the quality of the answer. Answers can display
characteristics from more than one level, and where this happens markers must use theguidance below
and their professional judgement to decide which level is most appropriate.
Placing a mark within a level
After a level has been decided on, the next stage is to decide on the mark within the level. The
instructions below tell you how to reward responses within a level. However, where a level has specific
guidance about how to place an answer within a level, always follow that guidance.
Statements relating to the treatment of students who do not fully meet the requirements of the question
are also shown in the indicative content section of each levels-based mark scheme.
These statements should be considered alongside the levels descriptors.
