marking grid

General marking guidance

 All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first
learner in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
 Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what
they have shown they can do, rather than be penalised for omissions.
 Examiners should mark according to the marking grid, not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
 All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately.
 All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners
should always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared
to award zero marks, if the learner’s response is not rewardable according to
the marking grid.
 Where judgement is required, a marking grid will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded.
 When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a
learner’s response, a senior examiner should be consulted.

Specific marking guidance

The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically.
Rows in the grids identify the assessment focus/outcome being targeted. When
using a marking grid, the ‘best fit’ approach should be used.
● Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most
closely matches the learner’s response and place it within that band.
Learners will be placed in the band that best describes their answer.
● The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of
the answer, in response to the assessment focus/outcome and will be
modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that
band.
● Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band, depending
on how they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.

partially supported
 The explanation shows some structure and coherence
Level 2 3–4  Good analysis, interpretation and/or evaluation of the
scientific information
 Lines of argument mostly supported through the application
of relevant evidence
 The explanation shows a structure which is mostly clear,
coherent and logical
Level 3 5–6  Comprehensive analysis, interpretation and/or evaluation of
all pieces of scientific information
