, 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.
• In some cases details of what will not be accepted for a marking point will be identified
below the phrase ‘do not accept’.
• 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.
Specific Marking Guidance
• When deciding how to reward an answer, examiners should consult both the indicative
content and the associated marking grid(s). When using a levels-based mark scheme, the
‘best fit’ approach should be used.
• Examiners should first decide which descriptor most closely matches the
answer and place it in that level.
• The mark awarded within the level will be decided based on the quality of the answer
and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that
level.
• Indicative content is exactly that – they are factual points that candidates are likely to use
to construct their answer.
• It is possible for an answer to be constructed without mentioning some or all of these
points, as long as they provide alternative responses to the indicative content that fulfils
the requirements of the question. It is the examiner’s responsibility to apply their
professional judgement to the candidate’s response in determining if the answer fulfils
the requirements of the question.
