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.

1–3 The candidate has shown minimal ability to express ideas relevant to the
narrative, report or description required, and ideas hardly follow a logical
sequence.
The piece is rarely coherent and there is so much digression that the
overall theme or purpose of the piece is greatly obscured.
4–6 The candidate has shown some basic ability to express ideas in a form that
would be comprehensible to a native reader, with only occasional
evidence of ideas following a logical sequence.
The piece is occasionally coherent and while there is some digression from
the topic, the overall theme or purpose is generally clear.
7–9 The candidate has shown a moderate ability to express ideas in a form that
would be comprehensible to a native reader, and some evidence of ideas
following a logical sequence.
The piece is sometimes coherent and there is digression from the topic,
but the overall theme or purpose is clear.
10–12 The candidate has shown a good ability to express ideas in a form that
would be comprehensible to a native reader, with much evidence of ideas
following a logical sequence.
The piece is mostly coherent and while there may be occasional ambiguity
or digression from the topic, these appear to be aberrations in an
otherwise pertinent piece of work.
13–15 The candidate has shown an excellent ability to express ideas in a logical
sequence, and errors do not interfere with the comprehension.
The piece is entirely coherent and while there may be very minor
ambiguities or digression from the topic, the piece is confident, fluent,
pertinent and purposeful.
