OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications
include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals,
Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in
areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.
It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the
needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is
invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and
support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society.
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking
commenced.
All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report
on the examination.
MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION FOR MARKING
RMASSESSOR3
1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RMAssessor3 assessor Online
Training; OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
2. Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are posted on the RM
Cambridge Assessment Support Portal
3. Log-in to RMAssessor3 and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the required number of standardisation
responses.
YOU MUST MARK 10 PRACTICE AND 10 STANDARDISATION RESPONSES BEFORE YOU CAN BE APPROVED TO MARK LIVE
SCRIPTS.
MARKING
1. Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the Assessor3 50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100% Batch
2) deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the Assessor3 messaging system, or by
email.
5. Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not marked. Where no
alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response where
legible.
Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than required, then
all responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given. Enter a mark for each question answered into RM

assessor, which will select the highest mark from those awarded. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves
by attempting more questions than necessary in the time allowed.)
Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct.
Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually worth only one mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer responses then only the set number of responses should be marked.
The response space should be marked from left to right on each line and then line by line until the required number of responses have been
considered. The remaining responses should not then be marked. Examiners will have to apply judgement as to whether a ‘second
response’ on a line is a development of the ‘first response’, rather than a separate, discrete response. (The underlying assumption is that the
candidate is attempting to hedge their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than engaging with the question and giving the most
relevant/correct responses.)
Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or more marks)
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or factors and four items or factors are provided, then mark on a
similar basis – that is downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will provide more than one response in each section of the
response space.)
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 (developed)
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
response.
