General Marking Guidance
Ede
• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark
the last.
• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than
penalised for omissions.
• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries
may lie.
• There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
• All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the
answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not
worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification
may be limited.
• When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be
consulted.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
• Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of QWC, are being assessed. The strands are as follows:
i) ensure that text is legible, and that spelling, punctuation and grammar are accurate so that meaning is clear
ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to complex subject matter
iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary when appropriate.
