Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria

The schedule of dates is very important

If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay

If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the RM Assessor messaging system, or by email
...
Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not marked
...
Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than requir ed, then all
responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given
...
(The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves by attempting more
questions than necessary in the time allowed
...
When a question requires candidates to select more than one option/multiple options, then local marking arrangements need to ensure consistency of
approach
...
Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually worth only one mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer responses then only the set number of responses should be marked
...
The remaining responses should not then be marked
...
(The underlying assumption is that the candidate is attempting to hedge
their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than engaging with the question and giving the most relevant/correct responses
...
)
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or high tariff question which only required a single (deve loped) response and
not crossed out the first response, then only the first response should be marked
...

If the
candidate has continued an answer there, then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen

Award No Response (NR) if:
• there is nothing written in the answer space
Award Zero ‘0’ if:
• anything is written in the answer space and is not worthy of credit (this includes text and symbols)

AO1
The meaning of the terms ‘worship’ and ‘sacrament’ may be given, perhaps with an explanation of
how the two are interrelated
...
Differences between liturgical and non -liturgical
worship may be cited, along with examples such as Eucharist or Baptism from the Catholic,
Orthodox and Protestant Church traditions
...
Biblical teachings about the importance for
Christians to worship God daily could be given e
...
Exodus 20 the Ten Commandments or the
Psalms
...
Historical traditions of the main branches of Christianity, with
their emphasis on the importance of sacraments could be used to argue in support of the statement
...
However, worship can include
the sacraments and since the statement is primarily about sacramental worship some discussion
must happen about the sacraments
...
For Catholic and Orthodox Christians, the sacraments are extremely important ways to experience
God; because they believe that one becomes holier through them, then these are the most important
30
Please refer to the
SPaG response grid
on page 9
...
They are channels for God’s grace and can strengthen believer s and
imbue them with the Holy Spirit
...
Some
denominations, e
...
Salvation Army, do not accept any of the sacraments and most Protestants only
accept two (Baptism and Eucharist)
...
g
...
Some may disagree with the statement entirely by arguing that one of the other religious
experiences they have studied is more important than or equally as important as worship and the
sacraments, e
...
conversion, answered prayers or miraculous healing
...
It might be argued that other
forms of religious experience, such as visions and voice, are more important due to their noetic
nature ad the revelation they often provide, e

A holy war is one in which it is considered right to engage in physical acts of violence against others
for religious reasons, for example to defend one’s religion if under attack
...
It is a war which religious believers engage in, in order to spread
the faith to others, especially non-believers

Christians who engage in such a war believe they are promised a
spiritual reward such as eternal life in heaven
