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

It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor 50% and 100% deadlines
...

...

5
...
Where no alternative
response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response where legible
...

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 (developed) response and
not crossed out the first response, then only the first response should be marked
...

6
...
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)
...

If you have any questions or comments for your team leader, use the phone or e-mail
...


Mark Scheme

June 2024
Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) via email by the end of the
marking period
...
Constructive criticism
of the question paper/mark scheme is also appreciated

To determine the mark within the level, consider the following

BOD

Benefit of doubt – to be put on an answer when a candidate says something that is slightly different to the
MS but you feel that it is worthy of credit

REP

Repeat – to be used if there is a repeat of the same point within the same response and so is not worthy
of credit again
...


Up and down arrows

These should be used if there is a continuation of the answer elsewhere

Also use in Q6c and Q7f to acknowledge that credit has or has not already been given

Use this if there is something that you just want to acknowledge that you have seen
