Mark Scheme for June 2023 Aqa
OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR
qualifications include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.
It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the
changing needs of today’s society.
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking commenced.
All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report on the examination.

PREPARATION FOR MARKING
RM ASSESSOR
1.Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM Assessor Online
Training; OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
2.Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are available in RM Assessor.
3.Log-in to RM Assessor and mark and annotate the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the required number of standardisation responses.
MARKING
4.Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
5.Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
6.The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor 50% and 100% deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
7.If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader via the RM Assessor messaging system.
8.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 should give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response where legible.
9.When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct.
10.On each blank page the annotation BP must be inserted to confirm that the page has been checked. For additional objects (if present), a tick must be inserted on each page to confirm that it has been checked. 11.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 is not an attempt at the question. The hash key (#) on your keyboard will enter NR.
Note: Award 0 marks for an attempt that earns no credit (including copying out the question).
12.The RM Assessor comments box is used by the Principal Examiner or 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 RM Assessor messaging system.
13.Assistant Examiners should send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the marking period. Please follow the direction of your Team Leader about which questions you should report on and how to submit your report. Your report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses.
14.Annotations available in RM Assessor. These must be used whenever appropriate during your marking.
