J204/02 Mark Scheme June 2022 2 PREPARATION FOR MARKING RM3 1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking. 2. Make sure that you have read... and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. 3. Log-in to RM3 and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the required number of standardisation responses. YOU MUST MARK 6 PRACTICE AND 10 STANDARDISATION RESPONSES BEFORE YOU CAN BE APPROVED TO MARK LIVE SCRIPTS.J204/02 Mark Scheme June 2022 3 MARKING INSTRUCTIONS – FOR MARKING ON-SCREEN 1. Mark strictly to the mark scheme. 2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria. 3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the 50% and 100% deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay. 4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the RM3 messaging system, or by email. 5. Crossed Out Responses Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not marked. Where no alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed out response where legible. 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. 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 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. The remaining responses should not then be marked. 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. (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.) 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.)J204/02 Mark Scheme June 2022 4 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. 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. 6. 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). 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. 7. The RM Assessor comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason. If you have any questions or comments for your team leader, use the phone, the RM Assessor messaging system, or e-mail. 8. Assistant Examiners may send a brief report on the performance of candidates to your Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the marking period.J204/02 Mark Scheme June 2022 5 9.

However, examiners should liaise with their Team Leaders/Principal Examiner wherever there remains any doubt as to whether or not a response (or part-response) should be awarded.
