General Marking Guidance
• All learners m ust receive the sam e t reatm ent . Exam iners m ust m ark
the first learner in exact ly the sam e way as they m ark the last .
• Mark schem es should be applied posit ively. Learners m ust be
rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than
penalised for om issions.
• Exam iners should m ark according to the m ark schem e not according
to their percept ion of where the grade boundaries m ay lie.
• There is no ceiling on achievem ent . All m arks on the m ark schem e
should be used appropriately.
• All the m arks on the m ark schem e are designed to be awarded.
Exam iners should always award full m arks if deserved, i.e. if the
answer m atches the m ark schem e. Exam iners should also be
prepared to award zero m arks if the learner’s response is not worthy
of credit according to the m ark schem e.
• Where som e judgem ent is required, m ark schem es will provide the
pr inciples by which m arks will be awarded and exem plificat ion m ay
be lim ited.
• When exam iners are in doubt regarding the applicat ion of the m ark
schem e to a learner’s response, the team leader m ust be consulted.
• Crossed out work should be m arked UNLESS the learner has replaced
it with an alternat ive response.
• Mark schem es will indicate within the table where, and which st rands
of QWC, are being assessed. The st rands are as follows:
i) Ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuat ion and gram m ar
are accurate so that m eaning is clear
ii) Select and use a form and style of writ ing appropriate to purpose and
