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 Geography.  \nCandidates must show they are able to:  \nAO1 Demonstrate geographical knowledge and understanding of:  \nPlaces, environments, processes and concepts; and  \nThe inter-relationships between places, environments and processes;  \nAO2 Apply knowledge and understanding to analyse, interpret and evaluate geographical information and issues and to make judgements; and  \nAO3 Select, adapt and use a variety of skills and techniques to investigate questions and issues and communicate findings.  \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 the 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. Examiners should make use of the whole of the available mark range of 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 ‘own figure rule’ so that candidates are not penalised more than once for a computational error.  \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.  \nOther 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  \nTasks and questions requiring candidates to respond in extended writing are marked in terms of levels of response. In deciding which level of response to award, examiners should look for the ‘best fit’bearing in mind that weakness in one area may be compensated for by strength in another. In deciding which mark within a particular level to award to any response, examiners are expected to use their professional judgement. The following guidance is provided to assist examiners.  \nThreshold performance: Response which just merits inclusion in the level and should be awarded a mark at or near the bottom of the range.  \nIntermediate performance: Response which clearly merits inclusion in the level and should be awarded a mark at or near the middle of the range.  \nHigh performance: Response which fully satisfies the level description and should be awarded a mark at or near the top of the range.  \nQuality of written communication  \nQuality of written communication is taken into account in assessing candidates’ responses to all","cbCaijr6n3gaAAwn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijr6n3gaAAwn","pdf",364661,16,"English","# General Marking Instructions\n## Introduction\n## Assessment objectives\n## Quality of candidates’ responses\n## Flexibility in marking\n## Positive marking and awarding zero marks\n## Marking calculations\n## Types of mark schemes\n## Levels of response\n## Quality of written communication\n# Theme A: Population and Migration\n## 1(a) Complete Table 1","[{\"question\":\"What are the assessment objectives AO1, AO2 and AO3 in this mark scheme?\",\"answer\":\"AO1 focuses on geographical knowledge and understanding; AO2 requires applying that knowledge to analyse, interpret, evaluate and make judgements; AO3 is about selecting, adapting and using skills and techniques to investigate and communicate findings.\"},{\"question\":\"How should examiners handle unexpected answers or responses that are problematic?\",\"answer\":\"Mark schemes are not fully prescriptive.
