INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS

1. Candidates are expected to answer ALL the questions.

2. This marking guideline serves as a guide to markers. Some responses may require
a marker’s discretion.

3. Candidates’ responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.

MARKING THE COMPREHENSION

o Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in

responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the
meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)

o If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.
However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
answer, this will be acceptable.

o For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I

AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be
considered.

o When one word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted.

o When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
two/three.

o Accept dialectal variations.

o For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the
correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.
