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. The strands are as follows:

i) ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuation and


grammar are accurate so that meaning is clear
ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to
purpose and to complex subject matter
iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist
vocabulary when appropriate
