Version: 1.0 Final
,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.
No student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to the
gender identity of others in their exam responses.
A consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will be credited in
exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.

, English Language and Literature Mark Scheme
How to Mark
Aims
When you are marking your allocation of scripts your main aims should be to:
recognise and identify the achievements of students
place students in the appropriate mark band and in the appropriate part of that mark scheme (high,
low, middle) for each Assessment Objective
record your judgements with brief notes, annotations and comments that are relevant to the mark
scheme and make it clear to other examiners how you have arrived at the numerical mark awarded for
each Assessment Objective.
Approach
It is important to be open minded and positive when marking scripts.
This specification is underpinned by the belief that the best form of literary criticism is rooted in a rigorous
and precise application of concepts and methods from language study. This means that although vague
and impressionistic terms like ‘imagery’ and ‘tone’ are unhelpful, there will be occasions where students
might be drawing on different areas of linguistics, or on different ideas about classifying language. They
therefore may use a term that is different from what an examiner might normally expect but it is in the
spirit of this specification that we accept a range of ideas and approaches as long as they are
grounded in precise descriptive analysis.
Assessment Objectives
This component requires students to:
AO1: Apply concepts and methods from integrated linguistic and literary study as appropriate, using
associated terminology and coherent written expression
AO2: Analyse ways in which meanings are shaped in texts
AO3: Demonstrate understanding of the significance and influence of the contexts in which texts are
produced and received
AO4: Explore connections across texts, informed by linguistic and literary concepts and methods
AO5: Demonstrate expertise and creativity in the use of English to communicate in different ways.
