General Marking Guidance

• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must

mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the
last.

• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be

rewarded for
what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for
omissions.

• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according

to their perception of where the grade boundaries 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 matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be
prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’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 and exemplification may be limited.

• When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark

scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be
consulted.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has
replaced it with an alternative response.

GENERAL COMMENTS

1. The word limit must be adhered to. The maximum word limit for
Questions 1 -10 is THREE words
Questions 21 – 30 is TWO words.
2. Responses must be grammatically logical. Furthermore, there must not
be any repetition of words.
For example, Q5 - if the candidate has put an a, this should response
should be marked as incorrect because the sentence now reads with
the word a repeated.
3. Spelling – markers should exercise a degree of tolerance with regard to
spelling accuracy.
If the word, when uttered, sounds correct, the response should be
marked as correct. However, the response should be marked as
incorrect if a different words has been written – e.g. Q5 solo water
heater for solar water heater.
4. Use of capital letters is acceptable.
