Mark Ischemes Iare Iprepared Iby Ithe ILead IAssessment IWriter Iand Iconsidered, Itogether Iwith

Ithe Irelevant Iquestions, Iby Ia Ipanel Iof Isubject Iteachers. IThis Imark Ischeme Iincludes Iany

Iamendments Imade Iat Ithe Istandardisation Ievents Iwhich Iall Iassociates Iparticipate Iin Iand Iis

Ithe Ischeme Iwhich Iwas Iused Iby Ithem Iin Ithis Iexamination. IThe Istandardisation Iprocess

Iensures Ithat Ithe Imark Ischeme Icovers Ithe Istudents’ Iresponses Ito Iquestions Iand Ithat Ievery

Iassociate Iunderstands Iand Iapplies Iit Iin Ithe Isame Icorrect Iway.

As Ipreparation Ifor Istandardisation Ieach Iassociate Ianalyses Ia Inumber Iof Istudents’ Iscripts.

IAlternative Ianswers Inot Ialready Icovered Iby Ithe Imark Ischeme Iare Idiscussed Iand Ilegislated

Ifor. IIf, Iafter Ithe Istandardisation Iprocess, Iassociates Iencounter Iunusual Ianswers Iwhich Ihave

Inot Ibeen Iraised Ithey Iare Irequired Ito Irefer Ithese Ito Ithe ILead IExaminer.

It Imust Ibe Istressed Ithat Ia Imark Ischeme Iis Ia Iworking Idocument, Iin Imany Icases Ifurther

Ideveloped Iand Iexpanded Ion Ithe Ibasis Iof Istudents’ Ireactions Ito Ia Iparticular Ipaper.

IAssumptions Iabout Ifuture Imark Ischemes Ion Ithe Ibasis Iof Ione Iyear’s Idocument Ishould Ibe

Iavoided; Iwhilst Ithe Iguiding Iprinciples Iof Iassessment Iremain Iconstant, Idetails Iwill Ichange,

Idepending Ion Ithe Icontent Iof Ia Iparticular Iexamination Ipaper.

Point Imarked Iquestions Imarking I instructions

The Imark Ischeme Iwill Istate Ithe Icorrect Ianswer Ior Ia Irange Iof Ipossible Ianswers, Ialthough

Ithese Imay Inot Ibe Iexhaustive. IIt Imay Iindicate Ihow Ia Isecond Imark Iis Iawarded Ifor Ia Isecond

Ipoint Ior Ideveloped Iidea. IIt Imay Igive Ian Iindication Iof Iunacceptable Ianswers. IEach Imark

Ishould Ibe Ishown Iby Iplacing Ia Itick Iwhere Icredit Iis Igiven. IThe Inumber Iof Iticks Imust Iequal

Ithe Imark Iawarded. IDo Inot Iuse Icrosses Ito Iindicate Ianswers Ithat Iare Iincorrect.

Level Iof Iresponse Imarking I instructions

Level Iof Iresponse Imark Ischemes Iare Ibroken Idown Iinto Ilevels, Ieach Iof Iwhich Ihas Ia

Idescriptor. IThe Idescriptor Iis Ilinked Ito Ithe Iassessment Iobjective(s) Ibeing Iaddressed. IThe

Idescriptor Ifor Ithe Ilevel Ishows Ithe Iaverage Iperformance Ifor Ithe Ilevel.

Before Iyou Iapply Ithe Imark Ischeme Ito Ia Istudent’s Ianswer Iread Ithrough Ithe Ianswer Iand

Iannotate Iit I(as Iinstructed) Ito Ishow Ithe Iqualities Ithat Iare Ibeing Ilooked Ifor. IYou Ican Ithen

Iapply Ithe Imark Ischeme. IYou Ishould Iread Ithe Iwhole Ianswer Ibefore Iawarding Imarks Ion

Ilevels Iresponse Iquestions.

Step I1 IDetermine Ia Ilevel

Descriptors Ifor Ithe Ilevel Iindicate Ithe Idifferent Iqualities Ithat Imight Ibe Iseen Iin Ithe Istudent’s

Ianswer Ifor Ithat Ilevel. IWhen Iassigning Ia Ilevel Iyou Ishould Ilook Iat Ithe Ioverall Iquality Iof Ithe

Ianswer Iand Inot Ilook Ito Ipick Iholes Iin Ismall Iand Ispecific Iparts Iof Ithe Ianswer Iwhere Ithe

Istudent Ihas Inot Iperformed Iquite Ias Iwell Ias Ithe Irest. IIf Ithe Ianswer Icovers Idifferent Iaspects Iof

Idifferent Ilevels Iof Ithe Imark Ischeme Iyou Ishould Iuse Ia Ibest Ifit Iapproach Ifor Idefining Ithe Ilevel

Iand Ithen Iuse Ithe Ivariability Iof Ithe Iresponse Ito Ihelp Idecide Ithe Imark Iwithin Ithe Ilevel, Iie Iif Ithe

Iresponse Iis Ipredominantly ILevel I2 Iwith Ia Ismall Iamount Iof ILevel I3 Imaterial Iit Iwould Ibe

Iplaced Iin ILevel I2 Ibut Ibe Iawarded Ia Imark Inear Ithe Itop Iof Ithe Ilevel Ibecause Iof Ithe ILevel I3

Icontent. IFor Iinstance, Iin Ia I9 Imark Iquestion Iwith Ithree Ilevels Iof Iresponse, Ian Ianswer Imay

Idemonstrate Ithorough Iknowledge Iand Iunderstanding I(AO1 Iand IAO2) Ibut Ifail Ito Irespond Ito

Icommand Iwords Isuch Ias Iassess Ior Ievaluate I(AO3). IThe Iscript Icould Istill Iaccess ILevel I2

Imarks. INote Ithat Ithe Imark Ischeme Iis Inot Iprogressive Iin Ithe Isense Ithat Istudents Idon’t Ihave

Ito Ifulfil Iall Ithe Irequirements Iof ILevel I1 Iin Iorder Ito Iaccess ILevel I2.

Step I2 IDetermine Ia Imark

Once Iyou Ihave Iassigned Ia Ilevel Iyou Ineed Ito Idecide Ion Ithe Imark. IThe Idescriptors Ion Ihow Ito

Iallocate Imarks Ican Ihelp Iwith Ithis. IThe Iexemplar Imaterials Iused Iduring Istandardisation Iwill

Ialso Ihelp. IThere Iwill Igenerally Ibe Ian Ianswer Iin Ithe Istandardising Imaterials Iwhich Iwill

Icorrespond Iwith Ieach Ilevel Iof Ithe Imark Ischeme. IThis Ianswer Iwill Ihave Ibeen Iawarded Ia

Imark Iby Ithe ILead IExaminer. IYou Ican Icompare Ithe Istudent’s Ianswer Iwith Ithe Iexample Ito

Idetermine Iif Iit Iis Ithe Isame Istandard, Ibetter Ior Iworse Ithan Ithe Iexample. IYou Ican Ithen Iuse

Ithis Ito Iallocate Ia Imark Ifor Ithe Ianswer Ibased Ion Ithe ILead IExaminer’s Imark Ion Ithe Iexample.

You Imay Iwell Ineed Ito Iread Iback Ithrough Ithe Ianswer Ias Iyou Iapply Ithe Imark Ischeme Ito

Iclarify Ipoints Iand Iassure Iyourself Ithat Ithe Ilevel Iand Ithe Imark Iare Iappropriate.

Indicative Icontent Iin Ithe Imark Ischeme Iis Iprovided Ias Ia Iguide Ifor Iexaminers. IIt Iis Inot

Iintended Ito Ibe Iexhaustive Iand Iyou Imust Icredit Iother Ivalid Ipoints. IStudents Ido Inot Ihave

Ito Icover Iall Iof Ithe Ipoints Imentioned Iin Ithe Iindicative Icontent Ito Ireach Ithe Ihighest Ilevel

Iof Ithe Imark Ischeme.

An Ianswer Iwhich Icontains Inothing Iof Irelevance Ito Ithe Iquestion Imust Ibe Iawarded Ino Imarks.
