PREPARATION FOR MARKING
SCORIS
1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: Scoris Assessor
... [Show More] Online Training;
OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
2. Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are posted on the RM
Cambridge Assessment Support Portal http://www.rm.com/support/ca
3. Log-in to RM assessor and mark the 10 practice responses (“scripts”) and the 10 standardisation responses
YOU MUST MARK 10 PRACTICE AND 10 STANDARDISATION RESPONSES BEFORE YOU CAN BE APPROVED TO MARK LIVE
SCRIPTS.
MARKING
1. Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the Scoris 50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100%
Batch 2) deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the Scoris messaging system, or by
email.
5. Work crossed out:
a. where a candidate crosses out an answer and provides an alternative response, the crossed out response is not marked and gains
no marks
b. if a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question and makes no second attempt, and if the inclusion of the answer does not
cause a rubric infringement, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer and award marks appropriately.
6. Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there.
If the candidate has continued an answer there then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen.

7. There is a NR (No Response) option. Award NR (No Response)
- if there is nothing written at all in the answer space
- OR if there is a comment which does not in any way relate to the question (e.g. ‘can’t do’, ‘don’t know’)
- OR if there is a mark (e.g. a dash, a question mark) which isn’t an attempt at the question
Note: Award 0 marks - for an attempt that earns no credit (including copying out the question)
8. The RM assessor comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these
comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your team leader, use the phone, the scoris messaging system, or e-mail.
9. Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to your Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the
marking period. The Assistant Examiner’s Report Form (AERF) can be found on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal (and
for traditional marking it is in the Instructions for Examiners). Your report should contain notes on particular strength displayed as well as
common errors or weaknesses. Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark scheme is also appreciated.
10. For answers marked by levels of response:
a. To determine the level – start at the highest level and work down until you reach the level that matches the answer
b. To determine the mark within the level, consider the following:
Descriptor Award mark
On the borderline of this level and the one
below
At bottom of level
Just enough achievement on balance for this
level
Above bottom and either below middle or at middle of level (depending on number of marks
available)
Meets the criteria but with some slight
inconsistency
Above middle and either below top of level or at middle of level (depending on number of
marks available)
Consistently meets the criteria for this level At top of level

11. Annotations used in the detailed Mark Scheme
? Unclear
BOD Benefit of doubt
Cross Incorrect
L1 Level 1
L2 Level 2
L3 Level 3
REP Repeat
Tick Correct
VG Vague
SEEN Noted but no credit given
S S (indicates ‘sub max reached’)
EG Example
K Knowledge
DEV Development
Sub-maxes are indicated with S; the guidance section of the mark scheme shows which questions these are relevant to.
K and DEV used instead of ticks on the extended response question to indicate where knowledge or development points from the
indicative content have been made.
On this extended response question, one K or DEV does not necessarily equate to one mark being awarded; the marking is based on a
levels of response mark scheme which awards a level and mark holistically based upon the quality of the response overall against the
levels descriptors
