General marking guidance
All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must
mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be
rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for
omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to
their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
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/indicative content
will not be exhaustive.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark
scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before
a mark is given.
Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it
with an alternative response.
