Section A
Comprehension questions to be answered in target language but with no AO3 marks
Where the natural answer to a question consists entirely or partly of words or phrases from the recording
or text, students may use that material without rephrasing it. Errors which do not distort the meaning will
be tolerated. However, the AO1 mark will not be awarded for a response in which the student includes
irrelevant material or copies inappropriately from the stimulus, eg by ‘lifting’ an element from the original
which does not match the phrasing of the question set.

Level of response marking instructions for AO3
Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a descriptor. The
descriptor for the level shows the average performance for the level. There is one mark in each level.
Before you apply the mark scheme to a student’s answer read through the answer and annotate it (as
instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme.
Determine a mark
Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the
descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in
the student’s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it
meets this level, and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With
practice and familiarity you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the
lower levels of the mark scheme.
When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in
small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If
the answer covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit
approach for defining the level ie if the response is predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4
material it would be placed in level 3.
You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and
assure yourself that the level mark is appropriate.
An answer which contains nothing of relevance to the question must be awarded no marks. [Show Less]
