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.
