2 2 English mark schemes Achievement Test Guidelines for marking test papers These mark schemes are designed to provide you with all the information necessary to mark the Primary Achievement Tests. As far as possible, the mark schemes give you full guidance regarding acceptable and unacceptable alternative answers and, where appropriate, include examples of student work to illustrate the marking points. However, it is not always possible to predict all the alternative answers that may be produced by students and there could be places where the marker will have to use their professional judgement; in these cases, it is essential that such judgement be applied consistently. The guidelines below should be followed throughout (unless the mark scheme states otherwise). A correct answer should always be awarded full marks even if the spelling or grammer is wrong. Where more than one mark is available for a question, the mark scheme explains where each mark should be awarded. Half marks should not be awarded and at no point should an answer be awarded more than the maximum number of marks available, regardless of the quality of the answer. If the student has given more than one answer, the marks can be awarded if all the answers given are correct. However, if correct and incorrect answers are given together marks should not be awarded. If the answer line is blank but the correct answer is given elsewhere, e.g. within the question in the usage section, the marks can be awarded provided it is clear that the student has understood the requirements of the question. Each question and part question should be considered independently and marks for one question should be allowed unless they are contradicted by working or answers in another question or part question. Any legible crossed-out work that has not been replaced can be marked; but if work has been replaced the crossed-out part should be ignored. Where students are required to indicate the correct answer in a specific way, e.g. by underlining, marks should be awarded for any unambiguous indication, e.g. circling or ticking. Each question on the test paper has a box beside it for the teacher to record the mark obtained. It is advisable to use these boxes so that students, and others looking at the test papers, can clearly see where the marks have been awarded. Finally, it is advisable to use a pen of a different colour to that used by the students so that the marks and comments can be seen clearly. It should be noted that marking in red ink and using the mark boxes is an essential requirement for marking the Achievement tests. UCLES /01MS/O/N/08

Notes to markers Marking should always begin from the bottom of each column (lowest mark). Stop marking at the first statement in a column that the student fails to achieve. All the statements should be achieved for a student to achieve the mark (i.e. if there are two statements to describe a mark, both statements must be achieved before the mark can be given). If the writing is unfinished you may use evidence from the planning notes to award up to one mark each in Text Structure and Purpose. UCLES /01MS/O/N/08
