Mark Scheme for June 2024
OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications include
AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills,
Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT,
business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.
It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs
of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back
into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep
pace with the changing needs of today’s society.
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking
commenced.
All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report
on the examination.

MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION FOR MARKING
RM ASSESSOR
1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for
on-screen marking: RM Assessor Online Training; OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
2. Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question
paper for this unit. These are posted on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal
http://www.rm.com/support/ca
3. Log-in to RM Assessor and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”)
and the number of required standardisation responses.
YOU MUST MARK 10 PRACTICE AND 10 STANDARDISATION RESPONSES BEFORE
YOU CAN BE APPROVED TO MARK LIVE SCRIPTS.
MARKING
1. Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor
50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100% Batch 2) deadlines. If you experience
problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by
telephone or the RM Assessor messaging system, or by email.
5. Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the
crossed out response is not marked. Where no alternative response has been provided,
examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response
where le gible.
Multiple Choice Question Responses
When a multiple choice question has only a single, correct response and a candidate provides
two responses (even if one of these responses is correct), then no mark should be awarded
(as it is not possible to determine which was the first response selected by the candidate).
When a question requires candidates to select more than one option/multiple options, then
local marking arrangements need to ensure consistency of
approach.
Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even
if one of the answers is correct.

Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually worth only one
mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer responses then only the
set number of responses should be marked. The response space should be marked from left to right
on each line and then line by line until the required number of r esponses have been considered.
The remaining responses should not then be marked. Examiners will have to apply judgement as to
whether a ‘second response’ on a line is a development of the ‘first response’, rather than a
separate, discrete response. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate is attempting
to hedge their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than engaging with the
question and giving the most relevant/correct responses.)
Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or more marks)
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or factors and four
items or factors are provided, then mark on a similar basis
– that is downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will provide more than
one response in each section o f the response space.)
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or high tariff question
which only required a single (deve loped) response and not crossed out the first response,
then only the first response should be marked. Examiners will need to apply professional
judgement as to whether the second (or a subsequent) response is a ‘new start’ or simply
a poorly expressed continuation of the first response.
6. Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case
any answers have been continued there. If the candidate has continued an answer there,
then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen.
7. Award No Response (NR) if:
• there is nothing written in the answer space
Award Zero ‘0’ if:
• anything is written in the answer space and is not worthy of credit (this includes
text and symbols).
Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live
marking commences and should check this when reviewing scripts.
