Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered,
together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark
scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all
associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this
examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers
the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and
applies it in the same correct way.
As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’
scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed
and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual
answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead
Examiner.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases
further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular
paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s
document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain
constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular
examination paper.

Level of response marking instructions
Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a
descriptor. The descriptor for the level shows the typical performance for the level.
There are marks in each level.
Before you apply the mark scheme to a student’s answer read through the
answer and annotate it (as instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked
for. You can then apply the mark scheme.
The notes for answers provide indicative content. Students’ responses may take a
different approach in relation to that which is typical or expected. It is important to
stress that examiners must consider all a student’s work and the extent to which this
answered the question, irrespective of whether a response follows an expected
structure. If in doubt the examiner should contact their team leader for advice and
guidance.
Step 1 Determine a level
Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether
the answer meets the descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates
the different qualities that might be seen in the student’s answer for that level. If it
meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it meets this level, and
so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With
practice and familiarity you will find that for better answers you will be able to
quickly skip through the lower levels of the mark scheme.
When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not
look to pick holes in 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 levels 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, ie if the response is predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4
material it would be placed in level 3 but be awarded a mark near the top of the
level because of the level 4 content.
Step 2 Determine a mark
Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on
how to allocate marks can help with this. The exemplar materials used during
standardisation will help. There will be an answer in the standardising materials
which will correspond with each level of the mark scheme. This answer will have
been awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student’s answer
with the example to determine if it is the same standard, better or worse than the
example. You can then use this to allocate a mark for the answer based on the Lead
Examiner’s mark on the example.
You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme
to clarify points and assure yourself that the level and the mark are appropriate.
