, General Guidance on Marking
All candidates must receive the same treatment.
Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to penalise. This does NOT mean giving
credit for incorrect or inadequate answers, but it does mean allowing candidates to be rewarded for
answers showing correct application of principles and knowledge.
Examiners should therefore read carefully and consider every response: even if it is not what is expected it
may be worthy of credit.
Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the mark. Make sure that the answer
makes sense. Do not give credit for correct words/phrases which are put together in a meaningless
manner. Answers must be in the correct context.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the
Team Leader must be consulted.
Using the mark scheme
The mark scheme gives:
• an idea of the types of response expected
• how individual marks are to be awarded
• the total mark for each question
• examples of responses that should NOT receive credit.
1 / means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should receive full credit.
2 ( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark, but helps the examiner to
get the sense of the expected answer.
3 [ ] words inside square brackets are instructions or guidance for examiners.
4 Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the actual word is essential to
the answer.
5 ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an earlier part of a question
is used correctly in answer to a later part of the same question.
Quality of Written Communication
Questions which involve the writing of continuous prose will expect candidates to:
• show clarity of expression
• construct and present coherent arguments
• demonstrate an effective use of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Full marks will be awarded if the candidate has demonstrated the above abilities.
Questions where QWC is likely to be particularly important are indicated “QWC” in the mark scheme BUT
this does not preclude others.
