Marking  ALL selected questions MUST be marked, irrespective of whether it is correct or incorrect.  Candidates are expected to make a choice of THREE questions to answer. If all questions are answered, only the first three questions are marked.  A clear neat tick must be used:  o If ONE mark is allocated, ONE tick must be used.  o If TWO marks are allocated, TWO ticks must be used.  o The tick must be placed at the FACT that a mark is being allocated for. o Ticks must be kept SMALL, as various layers of moderation may take place.  Incorrect answers must be marked with a clear, neat cross. ˣ o Use MORE that one cross across a paragraph/discussion style questions to indicate that all facts have been considered. o Do NOT draw a line through an incorrect answer. o Do NOT underline the incorrect facts  Where the maximum marks have allocated in the first few sentences of a paragraph, place an M over the remainder of the text to indicate that the maximum marks have been achieved. For the following action words, ONE word answers are acceptable: give, list, name, state, identify etc. For the following action words, a FULL sentence must be written: describe, explain, evaluate, analyse, suggest, differentiate, distinguish, define, discuss, why how The following action words need to be read within its context to determine whether a ONE word answer or FULL sentence is required: provide, what, tabulate Totalling and transferring of marks  Each sub-question must be totalled: o Each question has sub-sections, therefore six sub-totals per question required o Sub-section totals to be written in the right-hand margin at the end of the sub- section and underlined o Sub-total must be written legibly  Total sub-totals and transfer total to the top left-hand margin next to the question number  Transfer total to cover of ANSWER BOOK. Moderation Marking on each level of moderation is done in the same way as the initial marking. All guidelines for marking must be adhered to. If a mark for a sub-question is changed after moderation, the moderator must strike through the marker’s mark and write down the new mark. 12 16 Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 3
