General Certificate of Secondary Education

Mark Scheme for June 2024

Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations

OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities
...


It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and
the needs of students and teachers
...

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination
...
It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before
marking commenced
...

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the
report on the examination
...


Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM Assessor Assessor Online
Training; OCR Essential Guide to Marking
...


Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit
...
rm
...


Log-in to RM Assessor and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the number of required
standardisation responses
...

Batch 2) deadlines

Where no
alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response
where legible
...
Enter a mark for each question answered into
RM assessor, which will select the highest mark from those awarded
...
)
Multiple Choice Question Responses
When a multiple choice question has only a single, correct response and a candidate provides two responses (even if one of these
responses is correct), then no mark should be awarded (as it is not possible to determine which was the first response selected by the
candidate)
...

Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct
...
The response space should be marked from left to right on each line and then line by line until the required number of responses
have been considered
...
Examiners will have to apply judgement as to whether a
‘second response’ on a line is a development of the ‘first response’, rather than a separate, discrete response
...

Mark Scheme

June 2024

Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or more marks)
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or factors and four items or factors are provided, then mark on
a similar basis – that is downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will provide more than one response in each section
of the response space
...
Examiners will need to apply
professional judgement as to whether the second (or a subsequent) response is a ‘new start’ or simply a poorly expressed continuation of
the first response
...


Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there
...


7
...

Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should check this
when reviewing scripts
...


The RM Assessor comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses
...
Do not use the comments box for any other reason
...

...
The report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses

Subject Specific Marking Instructions

Mark Scheme

June 2024

Further guidance on MARKING Point 5 above
We will need to exercise some discretion in the application of these instructions in order to avoid unfairness to candidates who know the text
and understand the question but don’t fully appreciate how to present their response
...

Low-tariff comprehension questions (up to 3 marks) where numbers are provided for candidate answers:
As a general rule award up to 1 mark for each of the candidate’s numbered points, disregarding any material in each that is surplus to
requirements (unless it invalidates the point already made)
...
They may roll together two correct answers in point 1, perhaps leaving no valid answer for point 2
...
However, if point 1 is a wrong answer that mark is lost and cannot be carried forward for possible awarding in
point 2
...

4-mark literary analysis questions:
Use discretion
either to award up to 2 marks to each of the candidate’s numbered points, ignoring any supplementary material that does not contradict the
point already made
or, where two valid answers are included in numbered point 1, to award up to 2 marks for each of these
...

Where a candidate offers a string of points, ignoring the numbering provided, only the first two of these should be considered
...

NB
Marking point 5 above does not apply to the 8 and 10 mark level of response questions
...

Require plural friends / companions
Require translation of seductus

If they have not understood the basic overall sense, they will score a
maximum of 2

The key judgment for a candidate who has demonstrated
understanding of the overall meaning is whether they should score 5, 4 or 3

The final decisions on what constitute ‘inconsequential’ and ‘more serious
errors’ will be made and communicated to assessors via the standardisation process (after full consideration of candidates’ responses) and
these decisions will be captured in the final mark scheme for examiners and centres

Repeated and consequential vocabulary errors
should not be penalised

Guidance on applying the marking grids for the 10-mark extended response
Two Assessment Objectives are being assessed in this question – AO2 (Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of literature) and AO3
(Analyse, evaluate and respond to literature)
...
Examiners must use a best fit approach
to the marking grid
...
For example, you should
not be able to achieve a mark of 8 made up of AO2 = 6 and AO3 = 2
...

Responses are credited for AO3 for how well the response addresses the question, for candidates selecting relevant examples from the
set texts they have studied and drawing and expressing conclusions based on the selected examples in relation to the question posed
...

For example, in relation to the question ‘how far do the lovers deserve our sympathy?’ saying that Narcissus’ cruelly rejecting Echo makes him
unsympathetic would be evidence of AO3; his saying that he ‘would rather die than have anything to do with her’ would be evidence of AO2
...

• good knowledge and sound understanding of the set text (AO2)
• a good response to the question which is supported by some well-selected examples from the set text
(AO3)
