ORDINARY LEVEL
Structure of the marking scheme Candidate responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide candidate responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table:
Scale label A B C
No of categories 2 3 4
5 mark scale 0, 5 0, 2, 5 0, 2, 3, 5
10 mark scale 0, 10 0, 5, 10 0, 4, 8, 10
15 mark scale 0, 7, 15 0, 4, 10, 15
A general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below. More specific directions in relation to interpreting the scales in the context of each question are given in the scheme, where necessary. Marking scales – level descriptors A-scales (two categories) ■ incorrect response (no credit) ■ correct response (full credit) B-scales (three categories) ■ response of no substantial merit (no credit) ■ partially correct response (partial credit) ■ correct response (full credit) C-scales (four categories) ■ response of no substantial merit (no credit) ■ response with some merit (low partial credit) ■ almost correct response (high partial credit) ■ correct response (full credit) In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding or omission of units, a mark that is one mark below the full-credit mark may also be awarded. Such cases are flagged with an asterisk. Thus, for example, scale 10C* indicates that 9 marks may be awarded.
