It explains the standardisation process, handling of amendments and unusual answers, and establishes that the mark scheme is a working document shaped by student responses. It then sets clear marking methods, including consulting team leadership, adhering strictly to the scheme, rewarding relevant accuracy, and using Levels of Response and CMI+ electronic item-by-item marking.","GCSE  \nReligious Studies A  \nUnit 1 / 405001 Christianity Mark scheme  \n4050  \nJune 2016  \nVersion: 1.0 Final  \nMark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer.  \nIt must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.  \nFurther copies of this mark [scheme are available from aqa.org.uk](scheme are available from aqa.org.uk)  \nCopyright © 2016 AQA and its licensors.

The advice given here may seem very obvious, but it is important that all examiners follow it as exactly as possible.  \n1. If you have any doubts about the mark to award, consult your Team Leader.  \n2. Refer constantly to the mark scheme throughout marking. It is extremely important that it is strictly adhered to.  \n3. Remember, you must always credit accurate, relevant and appropriate answers which are not given in the mark scheme.  \n4. Do not credit material that is irrelevant to the question or to the stated target , however impressive that material might be.  \n5. If a one-word answer is required and a list is given, take the first answer (unless this has been crossed out) .  \n6. If you are wavering as to whether or not to award a mark, the criterion should be, ‘Is the student nearer those who have given a correct answer or those who have little idea?’  \n7. Read the information on the following page about using Levels of Response mark schemes.  \n8. Be prepared to award the full range of marks. Do not hesitate to give full marks when the answer merits full marks or to give no marks where there is nothing creditable in an answer.  \n9. No half marks or bonus marks are to be used under any circumstances.  \n10. Remember, the key to good and fair marking is consistency. Do not change the standard of your marking once you have started.  \nMarking using CMI+  \nAll new GCSE Religious Studies papers will be marked electronically using a software application called CMI+ (Computer Marking from Image) . Instead of paper scripts being sent to examiners, students’ responses are scanned and sent electronically to examiners. The software is easy to use, but it demands a different approach from examiners than traditional paper marking.  \n1. Instead of marking script-by-script you will mark item-by-item. An item is a part-question.  \nEach time you log on to mark you will need to choose an item to mark.  \n2. Before you start marking your own allocation you will need to ma","cbCailyoc3LGOkQ1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailyoc3LGOkQ1","pdf",463568,1,34,"English","en",105,"# Methods of Marking\n## Marking using CMI+","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the standardisation process for the mark scheme?\",\"answer\":\"Standardisation ensures the mark scheme covers students’ responses and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.\"},{\"question\":\"What should an examiner do if they have doubts about a mark to award?\",\"answer\":\"Consult the Team Leader if there are doubts about the mark.\"},{\"question\":\"How does marking work under CMI+ for the new GCSE papers?\",\"answer\":\"Scripts are scanned and examiners mark electronically item-by-item, including using pre-marked “seeds” and entering marks for each response on the system.\"}]","GCSE Religious Studies A - Unit 1 405001 Christianity Mark scheme - June 2016 | PDF",1788600209,86,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"gcse-religious-studies-a-unit-1-405001-christianity-mark-scheme-june-2016","",{"@graph":36,"@context":84},[37,53,67],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/gcse-religious-studies-a-unit-1-405001-christianity-mark-scheme-june-2016/207624/",{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-05",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is the purpose of the standardisation process for the mark scheme?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Standardisation ensures the mark scheme covers students’ responses and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What should an examiner do if they have doubts about a mark to award?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Consult the Team Leader if there are doubts about the mark.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does marking work under CMI+ for the new GCSE papers?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Scripts are scanned and examiners mark electronically item-by-item, including using pre-marked “seeds” and entering marks for each response on the system.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,100,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
