    MARK SCHEME
    Maximum Mark: 30

    Published

    This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
    examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
    details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
    considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

    Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
    Teachers.

    Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

    Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2018 series for most
    Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level
    components.

    This document consists of 6 printed pages.

    5054/41 Cambridge O Level – Mark Scheme October/November 2018
    PUBLISHED
    Generic Marking Principles

    These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the
    specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these
    marking principles.

    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1:

    Marks must be awarded in line with:

    • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
    • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
    • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

    Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

    Marks must be awarded positively:

    • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the
    scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
    • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
    • marks are not deducted for errors
    • marks are not deducted for omissions
    • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the
    question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

    Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level
    descriptors.

    PUBLISHED
    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

    Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may
    be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen).

    GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

    Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or
    grade descriptors in mind.
