,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 ma
 rk 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.

, Mark schemes have been developed so that the rubrics of each mark scheme reflects the characteristics
of the skills within the AO being targeted and the requirements of the command word. So for example
the command word ‘Explain’ requires an identification of a point and then reasoning/justification of the
point.
Explain questions can be asked across all AOs. The distinction comes whether the identification is via a
judgment made to reach a conclusion, or, making a point through application of knowledge to
reason/justify the point made through application of understanding. It is the combination and linkage
of the marking points that is needed to gain full marks.
When marking questions with a ‘describe’ or ‘explain’ command word, the detailed marking guidance
below should be consulted to ensure consistency of marking.
