INSTRUCTION TO MARKERS

1) Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.

2) 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

    Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in
      responses should not be penalized unless such errors change the
      meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)

    If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
        disregard those words, and if the answers still make sense, do not penalize.
        However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
        answer, this will be acceptable.

    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.

    When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
      mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted.

    When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
      two/three.

    Accept dialectical variations.

    For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the
      correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.
