 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.
• Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands
of QWC, are being assessed. Questions labelled with an asterisk (*)
are ones where the quality of written communication will be assessed.
Using the Mark Scheme

Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to

penalise. This does NOT mean giving credit for incorrect or inadequate
answers, but it does mean allowing candidates to be rewarded for
answers showing correct application of principles and knowledge.
Examiners should therefore read carefully and consider every response:
even if it is not what is expected it may be worthy of credit.

The mark scheme gives examiners:

• an idea of the types of response expected

• how individual marks are to be awarded
• the total mark for each question
• examples of responses that should NOT receive credit.

/ means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should
receive full credit.

( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark,
but helps the examiner to get the sense of the expected answer.

Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the

actual word is essential to the answer.

ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an

earlier part of a question is used correctly in answer to a later part of the
same question.

Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the
mark. Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for
correct words/phrases which are put together in a meaningless manner.
Answers must be in the correct context.
