reading through the whole answer before awarding alevel using a best-fit approach.  \nA mark is then decided based on how well it meets the descriptors within thatlevel.  \n\n| Level  \u003Cbr>Mark  \u003Cbr>Descriptor   |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| N/A   | 0   | No rewardable response.   |\n| 1   | 1-3   | A superficial analysis of the statement that uses undeveloped  \u003Cbr>arguments,underpinned by isolated elements of understanding of  \u003Cbr>religion and belief.  \u003Cbr>Judgements are asserted without clear links to the analysis.   |\n| 2   | 4-6   | A basic analysis of the statement that uses some developed arguments  \u003Cbr>to discuss different points of view,underpinned by limited  \u003Cbr>understanding of religion and belief.  \u003Cbr>This leads to simple judgements which have some links to the analysis,  \u003Cbr>leading to a conclusion with limited justification.   |\n| 3   | 7-9   | A good analysis of the statement that uses logical chains of reasoning  \u003Cbr>to discuss different points of view,underpinned by a sound  \u003Cbr>understanding of religion and belief.  \u003Cbr>This leads to reasoned judgements which are clearly linked to the  \u003Cbr>analysis,leading to a partially justified conclusion.   |\n| 4   | 10-12   | A sustained and coherent analysis of the statement that uses logical  \u003Cbr>chains of reasoning to discuss different points of view,underpinned by  \u003Cbr>thorough understanding of religion and belief.  \u003Cbr>This leads to reasoned judgements supported by the appraisal of  \u003Cbr>arguments,leading to a justified conclusion that is consistent with the  \u003Cbr>analysis.   |\n| Point(s)of view'always means arguments for and against the statement.Where  \u003Cbr>specified in the bullet points under the question,it may also include one of the  \u003Cbr>following:  \u003Cbr>·different views within the religion  \u003Cbr>·non-religious views  \u003Cbr>·philosophical arguments  \u003Cbr>·ethical arguments.   |  |  |\n\nPearsonPearson Education 2024  \nHow to work your way through the marking activity  \nNow that you've been introduced to
