Version: 1.0 Final Mark Scheme

,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.
