,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.
• In some cases, details of what will not be accepted for a marking point will be
identified below
the phrase ‘do not accept’.
• 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.
Marking Guidance – Specific
• The marking grids have been designed to assess student work holistically. The grids
identify the Assessment Objective being targeted by the level descriptors.
• When deciding how to reward and answer, examiners should consult both the
indicative content and the associated marking grid(s). When using a levels-based
mark scheme, the ‘best fit’ approach should be used.
• Examiners should first decide which descriptor most closely matches the answer
and place it in that level.
• The mark awarded within the level will be decided based on the quality of the answer
and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that
level.
• In cases of uneven performance, the points above will still apply. Candidates will be
placed in the level that best describes their answer according to the Assessment
Objective described in the level. Marks will be awarded towards the top or
bottom of that level depending on how they have evidenced each of the
descriptor bullet points.
• Indicative content is exactly that – it consists of factual points that candidates are
3
, likely to use to construct their answer.
• It is possible for an answer to be constructed without mentioning some or all of
these points, as long as they provide alternative responses to the indicative
content that fulfil the requirements of the question. It is the examiner’s
responsibility to apply their professional judgement to the candidate’s response
in determining if the answer fulfils the requirements of the question.
Placing a mark within a level
• Examiners should first decide which descriptor most closely matches the answer and
place it in that level. The mark awarded within the level will be decided based on the
quality of the answer and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are
displayed at that level.
• In cases of uneven performance, the points above will still apply. Candidates will be placed in the
level that best describes their answer according to the descriptors in that level. Marks
will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that level depending on how they have
evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.
• If the candidate’s answer meets the requirements fully, markers should be prepared to
award full marks within the level. The top mark in the level is used for work that is as
good as can realistically be expected within that level.
