Exam (elaborations) AQA GCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE 8702/1 Paper 1 Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel Mark scheme June 2020 Version: 0.2 Pre-Standardisation AQA GCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE 8702/1 Paper 1 Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel Mark scheme June 2020 Version: 0.2 Pre-Standardisation How to apply the mark scheme The mark scheme is constructed using six levels of attainment that span the whole range of ability at GCSE. The descriptors of attainment reference the assessment objectives for that particular question. Examiners are required to use the mark scheme to consider the whole response and decide upon the most appropriate level. The mark scheme provides two descriptors: a description of typical features of a response in each level, and a description of the kinds of skills candidates in that level will be proficient in. This is in order to support examiners in making their judgement of the extent to which the qualities and skills being demonstrated merit a particular level of attainment. As each response being marked is a response to a particular task, examiners are assessing the extent to which the candidate has responded to the task, and also the level of skill that the candidate has demonstrated.
