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.

Errors of spelling will not be tolerated.

correct.
A successful translation

omission or paraphrase.
Repeated errors
Where a candidate repeats the same error within a question, no further penalty will be imposed in awarding the
