, 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.
