General marking guidance All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the lastcandidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded forwhat they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to theirperception of where the grade boundaries may lie.All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examinersshould always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the markscheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if thecandidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles bywhich marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not beexhaustive.When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to acandidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark isgiven.Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it withan alternative response.How to award marksFinding the right levelThe first stage is to decide which level the answer should be placed in. To do this,use a ‘best-fit’ approach, deciding which level most closely describes the quality ofthe answer. Answers can display characteristics from more than one level, and wherethis happens markers must use their professional judgement to decide which level ismost appropriate.Placing a mark within a levelAfter a level has been decided on, the next stage is to decide on the mark within thelevel. The instructions below tell you how to reward responses within a level.However, where a level has specific guidance about how to place an answer within alevel, always follow that guidance.Markers should be prepared to use the full range of marks available in a level andnot restrict marks to the middle. Markers should start at the middle of the level (orthe upper-middle mark if there is an even number of marks) and then move themark up or down to find the best mark. To do this, they should take into accounthow far the answer meets the requirements of the level: If it meets the requirements fully, markers should be prepared to award fullmarks within the level. The top mark in the level is used for answers that areas good as can realistically be expected within that level If it only barely meets the requirements of the level, markers should considerawarding marks at the bottom of the level. The bottom mark in the level isused for answers that are the weakest that can be expected within that level The middle marks of the level are used for answers that have a reasonablematch to the descriptor. This might represent a balance between somecharacteristics of the level that are fully met and others that are only barelymet.Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level in History – Sample Assessment MaterialsIssue 2 – June Pearson Education Limited
