General Marking GuidanceAll candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way asthey mark the last.Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can dorather than penalised for omissions.Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the gradeboundaries 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 matchesthe mark scheme.Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if thecandidate’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 andexemplification may be limited.When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the teamleader must be consulted.Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with analternative response.
