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.

Guidelines for Marking Source Question
AO1 (10 marks)
Marks here relate to knowledge and understanding.
They can be awarded for using the source and developing separate own knowledge.
When the rubric states that candidates should ‘use knowledge and understanding to help you analyse and evaluate’ it means that
candidates should use only knowledge and understanding from the source. Newly introduced own knowledge cannot form the basis
for AO2 and AO3 points/marks.
AO2 (10 marks)
Candidates should focus their comparison on analysing the different opinions in the source in terms of similarities and differences.
They should look at the different approaches and views that arise from political information and show how these can form the basis
for differing opinions.
AO3 (10 marks)
Candidates are expected to evaluate the information and arguments presented. They may rank the importance of the analysis. They
should be able to make and form judgments based on the source and they should reach reasoned conclusion.
Marks for analysis (AO2) and evaluation (AO3) should only be awarded where they relate to information in the source
Candidates must consider both views in their answers in a balanced way. The judgement a candidate reaches about these views
should be reflected in their conclusion.
Candidates who do not undertake any comparative analysis of the source and/or have not considered both views in a balanced
way cannot achieve marks beyond Level 2.
