This involves the examiner reading through the whole answer before awarding a level using a best-fit approach. A mark is then decided based on how well it meets the descriptors within that level.  \n\n| Level | Mark | Descriptor |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| N/A | 0 | No rewardable response. |\n| 1 | 1–3 | A superficial analysis of the statement that uses undeveloped arguments, underpinned by isolated elements of understanding of 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 to discuss different points of view, underpinned by limited understanding of religion and belief.\u003Cbr>This leads to simple judgements which have some links to the analysis, leading to a conclusion with limited justification. |\n| 3 | 7–9 | A good analysis of the statement that uses logical chains of reasoning to discuss different points of view, underpinned by a sound understanding of religion and belief.\u003Cbr>This leads to reasoned judgements which are clearly linked to the analysis, leading to a partially justified conclusion. |\n| 4 | 10–12 | A sustained and coherent analysis of the statement that uses logical chains of reasoning to discuss different points of view, underpinned by thorough understanding of religion and belief.\u003Cbr>This leads to reasoned judgements supported by the appraisal of arguments, leading to a justified conclusion that is consistent with the analysis. |\n| ‘Point(s) of view’ always means arguments for and against the statement.
