The mark schemes provide markers with an indication of the nature and range of candidates’ responses likely to be worthy of credit. They also set out the criteria which they should apply in allocating marks to candidates’ responses.  \nAssessment objectives  \nBelow are the assessment objectives for GCSE Double Award Science.  \nCandidates must:  \nAO1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:  \n• scientific ideas; and  \n• scientific techniques and procedures;  \nAO2 Apply knowledge and understanding of and develop skills in:  \n• scientific ideas; and  \n• scientific enquiry, techniques and procedures; and  \nAO3 Analyse scientific information and ideas to:  \n• interpret and evaluate;  \n• make judgements and draw conclusions; and  \n• develop and improve experimental procedures.  \nQuality of candidates’responses  \nIn marking the examination papers, examiners should be looking for a quality of response reflecting the level of maturity which may reasonably be expected of a 16-year-old which is the age at which the majority of candidates sit their GCSE examinations.  \nFlexibility in marking  \nMark schemes are not intended to be totally prescriptive. No mark scheme can cover all the responses which candidates may produce. In the event of unanticipated answers, examiners are expected to use their professional judgement to assess the validity of answers. If an answer is particularly problematic, then examiners should seek the guidance of the Supervising Examiner.  \nPositive marking  \nExaminers are encouraged to be positive in their marking, giving appropriate credit for what candidates know, understand and can do rather than penalising candidates for errors or omissions. The exception to this for GCSE Double Award Science is when examiners are marking complex calculations when the Examiners are briefed to mark by error or omission.  \nExaminers should make use of the whole of the available mark range for any particular question and be prepared to award full marks for a response which is as good as might reasonably be expected of a 16-year-old GCSE candidate.  \nAwarding zero marks  \nMarks should only be awarded for valid responses and no marks should be awarded for an answer which is completely incorrect or inappropriate.  \nMarking Calculations  \nIn marking answers involving calculations, examiners should apply the ‘carry error through’ rule so that candidates are not penalised more than once for a computational error. To avoid a candidate being  \npenalised, marks can be awarded where correct conclusions or inferences are made from their incorrect calculations.  \nTypes of mark schemes  \nMark schemes for tasks or questions which require candidates to respond in extended written form are marked on the basis of levels of response which take account of the quality of written communication. Other questions which require only short answers are marked on a point for point basis with marks awarded for each valid piece of information provided.  \nLevels of response  \nIn deciding which level of response to award, examiners should look for the number of indicative content points in candidate responses to ensure that the answer has been written to coincide with the question. In deciding which mark within a particular level to award to any response, quality of communication will be assessed and examiners are expected to use their professional judgement.  \nThe following guidance is provided to assist examiners.  \n• Threshold performance: Response which just merits inclusion in the level and should be awarded a mark at or near the bottom of the range.  \n• High performance: Response which fully satisfies the level description and should be awarded a mar","cbCaiu2vWjUKk0fV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu2vWjUKk0fV","pdf",223292,"English","# General Marking Instructions\n## Introduction\n## Assessment objectives\n## Quality of candidates’ responses\n## Flexibility in marking\n## Positive marking\n## Awarding zero marks\n# Marking Calculations\n## Carry error through rule\n# Types of mark schemes\n## Extended written form: levels of response\n## Short answers: point for point basis\n# Levels of response\n## Threshold performance\n## High performance\n# Quality of written communication\n## Bands A-D","[{\"question\":\"What do AO1, AO2, and AO3 require candidates to demonstrate in this mark scheme?\",\"answer\":\"AO1 focuses on scientific ideas and scientific techniques and procedures.
