included for teacher reference to aid understanding of how the assessment criteria are applied.
General guidance on using levels-based mark schemes
Step 1 Decide on a band
Examiners should first of all consider the answer as a whole and then decide which descriptors most closely
match the answer and place it in that band. The descriptors for each band indicate the different features that
might be seen in the student’s answerfor that band.
When assigning a level, you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not focus disproportionately
on small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If the
answer covers different aspects of different bands of the mark scheme you should use a ‘best fit’ approach for
defining the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within the level, for
example if the response is predominantly band 5–8 with a small amount of band 9–12 material, it would be
placed in band 5–8 but be awarded a mark near thetop of the band because of the band 9–12 content.
Step 2 Decide on a mark
Once you have decided on a band you will then need to decide on a mark withinthe band.
You will decide on the mark to award based on the quality of the answer; you will award a mark towards the
top or bottom of that band depending on how students haveevidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.
You will modify the mark based on how securely the bullet point descriptors are met atthat band.
You will need to go back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and assure
yourself that the band and the mark are appropriate.
Please note that the number of bullet points in the band descriptor does not directlycorrelate to the number
of marks in the band descriptor.
