2009 KS3 English test mark scheme 1

Introduction
This mark scheme is for teachers marking the Key Stage 3 English test for 2009. It contains the complete set
of mark schemes for the Reading paper, Writing paper and Shakespeare paper. It includes guidance on the
overall structure of the mark schemes and how they should be applied by teachers.
Separate levels are awarded for reading and writing. Pupil performance across the two elements may vary
and the marking criteria are designed to recognise and reward a range of qualities in each. Similarly, the
writing level should be awarded on the basis of an aggregation of the marks achieved on the Writing paper,
and again pupil performance across the two tasks may vary.
The 2009 level thresholds will be made on the basis of a review of a wide range of statistical and qualitative
evidence from the two national pre-tests that took place in 2008. Level threshold tables, showing the mark
ranges for the award of different levels for Reading, Writing and English, along with guidance on how to
aggregate marks for the complete award, will be published on the NAA website (www.naa.org.uk/tests) in
April 2009.
