, 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.
