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 they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme - not according to
their perception 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
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.
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.
Marking guidance - specific
The marking grids have been designed to assess student work holistically. The grids
identify which Assessment Objective is being targeted by each bullet point within the
level descriptors. One bullet point is linked to one Assessment Objective; however,
please note that the number of bullet points in the level descriptor does not directly
correlate to the number of marks in the level descriptor.
When deciding how to reward an answer, examiners should consult both the indicative
content and the associated marking grid(s). When using a levels-based mark scheme,
the ‘best fit’ approach should be used: Examiners should first decide which descriptor
most closely matches the answer and place it in that level.
examiners should first decide which descriptor most closely matches the answer
and place it in that level
the mark awarded within the level will be decided based on the quality of the
answer and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are
displayed at that level
in cases of uneven performance, the points above will still apply. Candidates will
be placed in the level that best describes their answer according to each of the
