, 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.
