Example Candidate Responses – Paper 1
Introduction
The main aim of this booklet is to exemplify standards for those teaching Cambridge O Level Arabic 3180, and to
show how different levels of candidates’ performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject’s curriculum and
assessment objectives.
In this booklet, candidate responses have been chosen from the November 2020 series to exemplify a range of
answers.
For each question, the response is annotated with a clear explanation of where and why marks were awarded or
omitted. This is followed by examiner comments on how the answer could have been improved. In this way, it is
possible for you to understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their
answers. There is also a list of common mistakes candidates made in their answers for each question.
This document provides illustrative examples of candidate work with examiner commentary. These help teachers
to assess the standard required to achieve marks beyond the guidance of the mark scheme. Therefore, in some
circumstances, such as where exact answers are required, there will not be much comment
The questions and mark schemes used here are available to download from the School Support Hub. These files are:
