Mark Scheme for June 2023
, 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 RM
Assessor 50% and 100% (traditional 50% 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, email or via the RM Assessor messaging system.
5. Work crossed out:
1. where a candidate crosses out an answer and provides an alternative
response, the crossed out response is not marked and gains no marks
2. if a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question and makes no
second attempt, and if the inclusion of the answer does not cause a rubric
infringement, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer
and award marks appropriately.
6. Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the
response in case any answers have been continued there. If the candidate has
continued an answer there then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen.
7. There is a NR (No Response) option. Award NR (No Response)
if there is nothing written at all in the answer space
OR if there is a comment which does not in any way relate to the question (e.g.
‘can’t do’, ‘don’t know’)
OR if there is a mark (e.g. a dash, a question mark) which isn’t an attempt at the
question.
Note: Award 0 marks – for an attempt that earns no credit (including copying out the
question).
1. The RM Assessor comments box is used by your Team Leader to explain the
marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these comments when
checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other
reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your Team Leader, use the phone, the RM
Assessor messaging system, or email.
1. Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to
their Team Leader (Supervisor) via email by the end of the marking period. The
report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common
errors or weaknesses. Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark scheme
is also appreciated.
