Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct.
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 (deve loped) 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 resp onse.
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 a tick 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/PEs must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should ch eck this
when reviewing scripts.
8. The RM Assessor comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these
comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your team leader, use the phone, the RM Assessor messaging system, or e -mail.
9. Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) via email by the end of the
marking period. The 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.
