    2010/01 Cambridge O Level – Mark Scheme For examination
    SPECIMEN from 2023

    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.
    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.

    2010/01 Cambridge O Level – Mark Scheme For examination
    SPECIMEN from 2023

    All questions are marked out of 25.

    The assessment objectives for the paper are:

    AO1: show detailed knowledge of the content of literary texts, supported by reference to the text
    AO2: understand the meanings of literary texts and their contexts, and explore texts beyond surface
    meanings to show deeper awareness of ideas and attitudes
    AO3: recognise and appreciate ways in which writers use language, structure and form to create and
    shape meanings and effects
    AO4: communicate a sensitive and informed personal response to literary texts.

    The Level Descriptors cover marks from 0 to 25, and apply to the marking of each question. They
    guide examiners to an understanding of the qualities normally expected of, or typical of, work in a
    level. They are a means of general guidance. For the purposes of standardisation of marking, they
    are to be used in conjunction with examples of candidates’ work and discussed during the examiners’
    coordination meeting.
