,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.

, Paper 2 marking principles and mark scheme (2025)

Section A: mark scheme (translation into Portuguese)
This task is a points-based mark scheme in which 1 mark is given for each correct
individual section of language. A correct translation is provided in a grid which also
outlines the alternative translations that will be accepted or the translations to
be rejected. Marking principles for error tolerance with examples are given
directly above the grid.

Section A: marking principles
Accents: non-grammatical accent errors are tolerated, for example passaro rather
than pássaro, unless they cause ambiguity (for example duvida rather than
dúvida).


Spelling: non-grammatical mis-spellings are tolerated, for example dezenhar /
chadrez rather than desenhar / xadrez, as long as they are not
ambiguous (for example conselho rather than concelho) or in the
wrong language.


Verb endings must be correct and will not be classed as spelling errors.


Adjective endings must be correct and will not be classed as spelling errors.


Accept any appropriate alternatives that do not already appear in the acceptable
answers column.

Accept responses in European Portuguese and / or Brazilian Portuguese.
