Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.  \n• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.  \n• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.  \n• 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.  \n• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes ","cbCaisvRQTs2ywWO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisvRQTs2ywWO","pdf",2974769,132,"English","# Introduction\n# General marking guidance\n# Paper 1: Drama\n## Paper 1 Mark scheme\n# Paper 2: Prose\n## Paper 2 Mark scheme\n# Paper 3: Poetry\n## Paper 3 Mark scheme","[{\"question\":\"What does Issue 7 change in the sample assessment materials?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 7 includes questions on new texts first assessed in 2024 and updates the question number order.
