MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL BENGALI – 7637/1 – JUNE 2024
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.

MARK SCHEME – A–LEVEL BENGALI – 7637/1 – JUNE 2024
Section A
Comprehension questions to be answered in target language but with no AO3 marks
Where the natural answer to a question consists entirely or partly of words or phrases from the text,
students may use that material without rephrasing it. Minor spelling errors which do not distort the meaning
will be tolerated. However, the AO2 mark will not be awarded for a response in which the student includes
irrelevant material or copies inappropriately from the stimulus, eg by ‘lifting’ an element from the original
which does not match the phrasing of the question set.
