,General Marking Guidance
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 scheme
Section A – Question 1 (translation) into assessed language
This task is a points-based mark scheme in which 1 mark is given for each
correct individual section of language. A correct translation is provided in
a grid which also outlines the alternative translations that will be
accepted or the translations to be rejected. Marking principles for
error tolerance with examples are given directly above the grid.
Marking principles
Accents: non-grammatical umlaut errors are tolerated, for example Buro
rather than Büro unless they cause ambiguity (e.g. schon rather than
schön).
Spelling: non-grammatical mis-spellings are tolerated, for example
wundarbar rather than wunderbar, as long as they are not ambiguous or
in the wrong language (e.g. Strom rather than Sturm).
Verb endings must be correct and will not be classed as spelling
errors. Case endings must be correct and will not be classed
as spelling errors. Repeated errors of capitalisation are not
penalised.
Accept any appropriate alternatives that do not already appear in the
acceptable answers column.
