ENTRY 1 ESOL SKILLS FOR LIFE (WRITING) SAM
General Marking Guidance
•
All candidates must receive the same treatment. Assessors must mark the first
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
•
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what
they have shown they can do rather than penalized for omissions.
•
Assessors should mark according to the mark scheme.
•
All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
•
All marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Assessors should always
award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Assessors
should also be prepared to award zero marks if a candidate’s response is not worthy
of credit according to the mark scheme.
•
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
•
When assessors are in doubt about applying the mark scheme to a candidate’s
response, the centre’s internal verifier must be consulted.
•
Crossed-out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an
alternative response.
