Note:
1. Award ‘0’ mark when:
Content is totally irrelevant, i.e. mindless lifting of irrelevant chunks from other sources,
including rubrics.
Target reader is not informed.
There is no response or response is written in language other than English.
2. Candidates should aim to use a range of tenses, expressions and vocabulary, even if these contain
some minor mistakes. It’s important for candidates to show the full range of their language ability
and to be ambitious in their use of language.
3. Non-impeding errors, which do not affect communication, will not necessarily be penalised. These
include spelling, grammar or punctuation errors. However, errors which interfere with or cause a
breakdown in communication will be treated more severely.
4. The length of the response should not be a criterion in awarding marks. Award marks based on the
quality and relevance of the response.
5. When awarding marks, apply the ‘best fit’ principle. No script will fit neatly into any one of the
bands. To determine the appropriate mark, identify the band and the response fits into and refer to
the criteria in the band. Examiners should assess the script holistically and always refer to the
coordinated scripts for consistency.
