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.
