Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last. • Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. • Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. • There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately. • All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. • Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited. • When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted. • Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

God alone should be worshipped • The Mool Mantar teaches that God’s name is truth (1) ‘Satnaam.’ (Guru Granth Sahib 1) (1) therefore Sikhs can reach God if they reflect on truth (1) • The Mool Mantar teaches that God’s creative power is personified (1) ‘Karta Purakh.’ (Guru Granth Sahib 1) (1) which means God is present in creation including the souls of human beings (1).

(5) Question number Indicative content Mark 1(d) AO2 12 marks, SPaG 3 marks Candidates must underpin their analysis and evaluation with knowledge and understanding. Candidates will be required to demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding as well as accuracy of religion and belief when responding to the question and in meeting AO2 descriptors. AO2 Arguments for the statement: • The main teaching of Sikhism is equality, through the Guru Granth Sahib all Sikhs are reminded that ‘All beings and creatures are His. He belongs to all.’ (Guru Granth Sahib 425) • Guru Nanak taught that women and men are both equal and respected. One of his teachings that reflects this is ‘From woman, man is born’ therefore ’without woman, there would be no one at all.’ (Guru Granth Sahib 473) • Mai Bhago is an excellent example of how women were treated equally. She was given the task of leading 40 Sikh soldiers to battle and was one of Guru Gobind Singh’s bodyguards. This shows that women were just as capable as men in war. Arguments against the statement: • Some Sikhs may disagree with this statement as culturally they are treated differently, for example, women are not allowed to read from the Guru Granth Sahib at the Harmandir Sahib • In some areas women are still expected to stay at home and look after the family. Girls are expected to do most of the household chores • Some Sikh females have experienced discrimination within the family and at the gurdwara. They have pressure put on them to dress modestly and not to date. Accept any other valid response.

Level 1 1–3 • Information/issues are identified and make superficial connections among a limited range of elements in the question, underpinned by isolated elements of understanding of religion and belief. • Judgements are supported by generic arguments to produce a conclusion that is not fully justified. Level 2 4–6 • Superficial connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question, underpinned by a limited understanding of religion and belief. • Judgements of a limited range of elements in the question are made. Judgements are supported by an attempt to appraise evidence, much of which may be superficial, leading to a conclusion that is not fully justified.

These are underpinned by an accurate understanding of religion and belief. Connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question. • Constructs coherent and reasoned judgements of many, but not all, of the elements in the question. Judgements are supported by the appraisal of evidence, some of which may be superficial, leading to a partially justified conclusion. Level 4 10–12 • Critically deconstructs religious information/issues, leading to coherent and logical chains of reasoning that consider different viewpoints. These are underpinned by a sustained, accurate and thorough understanding of religion and belief.
