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
...
Mark strictly to the mark scheme
...
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
...
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 an annotation to confirm that the work has been seen
...

J292/03

...
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

Guidance on applying the marking grids for the 5-mark set text translation
The mark scheme awards marks for the proportion of sense communicated
...
g
...
If they have not understood the basic sense of the s entence, they will score a maximum of 2
...
The key judgment for a candidate who has de monstrated understanding of
the overall meaning of the sentence 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 cap tured in the final mark scheme
for examiners and centres
...
Repeated and consequential vocabul ary errors should not be
penalised

Essentially correct but two inconsequential errors or one more serious error

• κατὰ τὰ νῦν τε εἰρημένα καὶ τὰ ἐν τῷ ἔμπροσθεν χρόνῳ
‘according to the things we have talked about now and in the

emphasises that his philosophy has not changed

pretending to agree in order to humour him
