This memorandum serves as a guide to markers. Some responses may require a marker’s discretion. 3. Candidates’ responses should be assessed as objectively as possible. MARKING THE COMPREHENSION o Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.) o If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined, disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise. However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an answer, this will be acceptable. o For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered. o When one word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence, mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted. o When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first two/three. o Accept dialectal variations. o For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full. o Coherent and relevant quotes from the passage are acceptable. The response must answer the question. Copyright reserved Please turn over
