,General marking guidance
All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the lastcandidate in exactly
the same way as they mark the first.
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded forwhat they have
shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to theirperception of where
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 markscheme. 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.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to acandidate’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 withan alternative
response.
