,General Marking Guidance
• All candidates must receive the same treatment. 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.
, Question Answer Mark
number Explain one way in which globalisation has increased flows between
countries
AO1 (4 marks)
1(a) (4)
Award 1 mark for a way in which globalisation has increased
connections and flows between countries, with up to a further 3 marks
for an explanation to a maximum of 4 marks.
For example:
• Globalisation has led to increased flow of commodities/goods (1)
through the use of containerisation (1) which are intermodal
allowing for greater speed (1) contributing to a shrinking world
effect/time-space compression. (1)
• Globalisation has also resulted in the increased spread of
information (1) as the internet has brought real-time
communication between distant places/time-space compression
(1) allowing goods and services to be bought instantaneously
(1) through the use of fibre optic cables (1).
• Globalisation has also facilitated the flows of people between
countries (1) as improved transport infrastructure such as
aeroplanes/high-speed rail (1) has reduced the friction of
distance/increased the speed of travel (1) as well as reduced
costs meaning it is accessible to a greater range of people. (1)
• Globalisation has resulted in lengthening connections between
people and places (1), as goods are sourced further away (1)
allowing people access to a great range of goods (1) and
exposure to new cultures (1).
• Globalisation has resulted in a faster speed of connections (1)
due to the growth of technologies such as Microsoft Teams
enabling communication in real time (1), as well as faster travel
between continents (1) as aircraft have become more efficient
and faster (1).
• Globalisation has led to increased flows of capital (1).
Businesses and investment banks buy and sell money in
different currencies to make profits (1). This means that the
shock of the global recession for example is felt across the world
(1) due to the interconnected nature of the world finance
markets (1).
