Examiners must mark the last candidate inexactly the same way as they mark the first. Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what theyhave shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception ofwhere the grade boundaries may lie. All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should alwaysaward full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if thecandidate s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate sresponse, the team leader must be consulted.

3 Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an to award marks when level descriptions are used 1. Finding the right levelThe first stage is to decide which level the answer should be placed in. To do this, use a best-fit approach, deciding which level most closely describes the quality of the answer. Answers can display characteristics from more than one level, and where this happens markers must use the guidance below and their professional judgement to decide which level is most appropriate. For example, one stronger passage at L4 would not by itself merit a L4 mark, but it might be evidence to support a high L3 mark, unless there are substantial weaknesses in other areas. Similarly, an answer that fits best in L3 but which has some characteristics of L2 might be placed at the bottom of L3. An answer displaying some characteristics of L3 and some of L1 might be placed in L2.

4 2. Finding a mark within a levelAfter a level has been decided on, the next stage is to decide on the mark within the level. The instructions below tell you how to reward responses within a level. However, where a level has specific guidance about how to place an answer within a level, always follow that guidance. Levels containing two marks only Start with the presumption that the work will be at the top of the level. Move down to the lower mark if the work only just meets the requirements of the level. Levels containing three or more marks Markers should be prepared to use the full range of marks available in a level and not restrict marks to the middle. Markers should start at the middle of the level (or the upper-middle mark if there is an even number of marks ) and then move the mark up or down to find the best mark. To do this, they should take into account how far the answer meets the requirements of the level: If it meets the requirements fully, markers should be prepared to award full marks withinthe level.

5 The top mark in the level is used for answers that are as good as can realistically be expected within that level If it only barely meets the requirements of the level, markers should consider awardingmarks at the bottom of the level. The bottom mark in the level is used for answers that are the weakest that can be expected within that level The middle marks of the level are used for answers that have a reasonable match to thedescriptor. This might represent a balance between some characteristics of the level that are fully met and others that are only barely met. Indicative content Examiners are reminded that indicative content is provided as an illustration to markers of some of the material that may be offered by students.

I ran after him and caught him but then another man attacked me with a stick and struck me four times on my head. I let Mr Hunt go, and he hit me with the stick which cut my nose open. He also hit me on the arm. I was then surrounded by six other attackers and I shouted for help.
