Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.  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.  There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.  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 may be limited.  When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted.  Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

(5) Question number Indicative content Mark 1(d) AO2 12 marks, SPaG 3 marks Candidates must underpin their analysis and evaluation with knowledge and understanding. Candidates will be required to demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding as well as accuracy of religion and belief when responding to the question and in meeting AO2 descriptors. AO2 Arguments for the statement:  The Almighty is an abstract concept, his characteristics only seen in what he has done. The divine presence allows humans to have direct access to the Almighty and thus he can be better understood  When Moses was given the Ten Commandments, the divine presence was seen as smoke and cloud. This showed the Jews that the mitzvot was his direct word and therefore they must obey them  Shekhinah is sometimes seen as the feminine presence of the Almighty and this helps to understand his compassionate nature, his love for his people. Arguments against the statement:  The omnipotence of the Almighty is the best way to understand him. He created the world out of nothing, he gave life to humanity and he has total control. Without this, he would not be the Almighty  For many Jews, the mitzvot is the most important thing in life; it is what creates and sustains the relationship with the Almighty, it will affect the afterlife, obeying it will allow the Messiah to come. Thus, the Almighty must be understood best as the Law-Giver  The fact that the Almighty is omniscient makes sense of the world of evil and suffering. He knows what is happening and he is compassionate and merciful, but humans cannot know his reasons, as they are not omniscient. Accept any other valid response. Candidates who do not consider different viewpoints within the religious tradition or non-religious viewpoints (as instructed in the question) cannot achieve marks beyond Level 2. (15) Level Mark Descriptor 0 No rewardable response. Level 1 1–3  Information/issues are identified and make superficial connections among a limited range of elements in the question, underpinned by isolated elements of understanding of religion and belief.  Judgements are supported by generic arguments to produce a conclusion that is not fully justified. Level 2 4–6  Superficial connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question, underpinned by a limited understanding of religion and belief.  Judgements of a limited range of elements in the question are made. Judgements are supported by an attempt to appraise evidence, much of which may be superficial, leading to a conclusion that is not fully justified. Level 3 7–9  Deconstructs religious information/issues, leading to coherent and logical chains of reasoning that consider different viewpoints. These are underpinned by an accurate understanding of religion and belief. Connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question.  Constructs coherent and reasoned judgements of many, but not all, of the elements in the question. Judgements are supported by the appraisal of evidence, some of which may be superficial, leading to a partially justified conclusion. Level 4 10–12  Critically deconstructs religious information/issues, leading to coherent and logical chains of reasoning that consider different viewpoints. These are underpinned by a sustained, accurate and thorough understanding of religion and belief. Connections are made among the full range of elements in the question.  Constructs coherent and reasoned judgements of the full range of elements in the question. Judgements are fully supported by the comprehensive appraisal of evidence, leading to a fully justified conclusion.
