Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




As preparation forstandardisation each associate analyses anumberofstudents’scripts. Alternative answers
by by by by by by by by by by by b y by




not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process,
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




Examiner.

It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessmentremain
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




constant, details will change,depending onthecontent of a particular examination paper.

Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a descriptor. The descriptorfor

thelevel shows the typical performanceforthelevel. Thereare marksin each level.
by by by by by by by by by b y by by by by by




Before you apply themark schemeto a student’s answer read through the answerand annotate it (as instructed) to
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme.
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




The notes for answers provide indicative content. Students’ responses may take a different approach in
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




relation to that which is typical or expected. It is important to stress that examiners must consider all a
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




student’s work and the extent to which this answered the question, irrespective of whether a responseby by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




follows an expected structure. If in doubt the examiner should contact their team leader for advice and
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




guidance.

Step1Determinealevel yb yb yb yb




Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in the
by by by by b y by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




student’s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it meets this level,
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With practice and familiarity
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the lower levels of the mark scheme.
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in small
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If the answer
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit approach fordefining
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within the level, ie if the response is
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4 material it would be placed in level 3 but be awarded a mark
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




near the top of the level because of the level 4 content.

Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on how to allocate marks can
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




help with this. The exemplar materials used during standardisation will help. There will be an answer in the
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




standardising materials which will correspond with each level of the mark scheme. This answer will have been
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student’s answer with the example to determine
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




if it is the same standard, better or worse than the example. You can then use this to allocate a mark for the
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




answer based on the Lead Examiner’s mark on the example.
by by by by by by by by by by




You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and assure
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




yourself that the level and the mark are appropriate.
by by by by by by by by by




Indicative content in the mark scheme is provided as a guide forexaminers. It is not intended to be exhaustive
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




and you must credit other valid points. Students do not have to cover all of the points mentioned in the
by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by by




indicative content to reach the highest level of the mark scheme.

 Apple is a global brand which has its main operations based across North
