_____________________________________________________________________________________ • All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
_____________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
