Mark Scheme for June 2023
,MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
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 40% 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 or the RM Assessor messaging system, or
by email.
Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear
alternative then the crossed out response is not marked. Where no
alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the
benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response where legible.
Multiple Choice Question Responses
When a multiple choice question has only a single, correct response and a
candidate provides two responses (even if one of these responses is
correct), then no mark should be awarded (as it is not possible to determine
which was the first response selected by the candidate).
When a question requires candidates to select more than one option/multiple
options, then local marking arrangements need to ensure consistency of
approach.
Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be
awarded, even if one of the answers is correct.
, Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually
worth only one mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer
responses then only the set number of responses should be marked. The
response space should be marked from left to right on each line and then line
by line until the required number of responses have been considered. The
remaining responses should not then be marked. Examiners will have to
apply judgement as to whether a ‘second response’ on a line is a
development of the ‘first response’, rather than a separate, discrete
response. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate is attempting to
hedge their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than engaging
with the question and giving the most relevant/correct responses.)
Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or
more marks)
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or
factors and four items or factors are provided, then mark on a similar basis –
that is downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will
provide more than one response in each section of the response space.)
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or
high tariff question which only required a single (developed) response and
not crossed out the first response, then only the first response should be
marked. Examiners will need to apply professional judgement as to whether
the second (or a subsequent) response is a ‘new start’ or simply a poorly
expressed continuation of the first response.
1. 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.
2. Award No Response (NR) if:
o there is nothing written in the answer space
Award Zero ‘0’ if:
