GCE AS MARKING SCHEME
SUMMER 2019
AS (NEW)
GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS - UNIT 1
2160U10-1
This marking scheme was used by WJEC for the 2019 examination. It was finalised after
detailed discussion at examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the
assessment. The conference was held shortly after the paper was taken so that reference
could be made to the full range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming
the basis of discussion. The aim of the conference was to ensure that the marking scheme
was interpreted and applied in the same way by all examiners.
It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the
same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conference, teachers
may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation.
WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about this marking
scheme.
UNIT 1: GOVERNMENT IN WALES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM MARK SCHEME
Marking guidance for examiners
Summary of assessment objectives for Unit 1
The questions in Section A assess AO1. The questions in Section B assess both AO1 and
AO2. The questions in Section C assess both AO1 and AO3. The assessment objectives
focus on the ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of relevant institutions,
processes, political concepts, theories and issues (AO1); the ability to interpret and apply
political information to identify and explain relevant similarities, differences, and
connections (AO2), and the ability to analyse and evaluate the areas of government and
politics studied to construct arguments, make substantiated judgements and draw
conclusions (AO3).
The structure of the mark scheme
The mark scheme for each question has two parts:
- Advice outlining indicative content which can be used to assess the quality of the
specific response. The content is not prescriptive and candidates are not expected to
mention all the material referred to. Examiners should seek to credit any further
admissible evidence offered by the candidates.
- An assessment grid advising bands and associated marks that should be allocated to
responses which demonstrate the characteristics needed in AO1, AO2 and AO3.
Deciding on the mark awarded within a band
- The first stage for an examiner is to use both the indicative content and the
assessment grid to decide the overall band.
- The second stage is to decide how firmly the characteristics expected for that band
are displayed.
- Thirdly a final mark for the question can then be awarded.
Organisation and communication
This issue should have bearing if the standard of organisation and communication is
inconsistent with the descriptor for the band in which the answer falls. In this situation,
examiners may decide not to award the highest mark in the band.
Level Descriptors
Using ‘best–fit’, decide first which set of level descriptors best describes the overall quality
of the answer. The following grid should inform your decision as to which band the answer
belongs. (N.B. The majority of questions follow a four band structure. However, when the
question has three bands 'Adequate' as a descriptor has been removed.)
