Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.  \n• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.  \n• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.  \n• All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response isnot worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.  \n• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive.  \n• When examiners ar","cbCaiiBDYaPNT1g0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiBDYaPNT1g0","pdf",9146172,82,"English","# Introduction\n# General marking guidance\n# Paper 1: Comprehension\n# Paper 1: Mark scheme\n# Paper 2: Applications\n# Paper 2: Mark scheme","[{\"question\":\"What is this document for?\",\"answer\":\"It contains Sample Assessment Materials for the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics in Context (7MC0), Issue 4, supporting assessment preparation and benchmarking assessment development.\"},{\"question\":\"How should examiners apply the mark scheme?\",\"answer\":\"Examiners must mark consistently for all candidates and apply the mark scheme positively, rewarding what candidates show they can do and using judgement principles provided by the mark scheme.\"},{\"question\":\"What should examiners do when a response is wrong or no answer is given?\",\"answer\":\"Always check the working in the script (and diagrams) and award any marks that are appropriate according to the mark scheme, including details for questions that specifically require working.\"}]","Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics in Context - Issue 4 - Sample Assessment Materials | PDF",1792466371,207]
