,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.

, 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.


Assessment Command Word
Objective

Strand Element Describe Explain

AO1 An answer that combines the An explanation that links
marking points to provide a logical identification of a point with
description reasoning/justification(s) as

marking points to provide a logical identification of a point (by
description, showing application of applying knowledge) with
knowledge and understanding reasoning/justification (application
of understanding)

1b interpretation/evaluation to provide
a logical description

AO3 2a and An explanation that combines
2b identification via a judgment to
reach a conclusion via
justification/reasoning

AO3 3a An answer that combines the
marking points to provide a logical
description of the
plan/method/experiment

AO3 3b An explanation that combines
identifying an improvement of the
experimental procedure with a
linked justification/reasoning
