General Marking Guidance Reading

Transcription

1 General Marking Guidance Reading If a learner has crossed out a response to a question, the work should still be marked unless the learner has replaced it with an alternative answer. Markers should apply the mark scheme consistently across all papers marked. Markers should mark according to the mark scheme and should apply it positively awarding full marks where the answer meets the mark scheme. Where the answers do not meet the mark scheme, markers should be prepared to award zero marks. The mark scheme gives guidance as to how to allocate marks where an answer is graded according to candidate performance. Where the response does not meet the requirements of the minimum mark, zero marks should be awarded. Where the mark scheme allows a mark for any (other) valid response, the marker should judge the response s merits based on the information provided in the assessment materials. Where the marker is unsure of how to apply the mark scheme, guidance from the Principal Examiner must be sought. Page 1 of 7
