MARK SCHEME – GCSE FOUNDATION SPANISH READING – SPECIMEN
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the
relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments
made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which
was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark
scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and
applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a
number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are
discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual
answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment
Writer.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed
and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about
future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding
principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a
particular examination paper.
