It serves as a resource for educators and assessors to understand the marking criteria, specifically focusing on the composition and Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar (SPaG) components. The content includes a breakdown of a 15-mark writing task, explaining how marks are allocated and offering a sample evaluation of a learner's response. It emphasizes the importance of addressing bullet points, maintaining organizational structure, and achieving grammatical accuracy, while highlighting common errors in article usage, verb tenses, and punctuation. By analyzing sample answers, the material helps standardize marking expectations and provides clear insights into the band-based scoring system used by principal examiners to maintain consistency and quality in student assessments.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/you-are-the-assessor-level-2-functional-skills-english-writing-assessment-guide-621006/621006/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/you-are-the-assessor-level-2-functional-skills-english-writing-assessment-guide-621006/621006.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Margaret","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-10-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How are the 15 marks allocated for the Level 2 Writing task?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The 15 marks are divided into two parts: 9 marks are allocated for composition and 6 marks are allocated for Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar (SPaG).","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What are the primary factors leading to lower scores in this assessment?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Lower scores often result from failing to address or expand upon all required bullet points, as well as significant issues with grammar, specifically relating to articles, verb tenses, spelling mistakes, and punctuation errors.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What resources are recommended to support accurate marking at Level 1 and Level 2?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Pearson provides the Level 1 and Level 2 Writing Principal Examiner’s Reports to help assessors understand the specific standards and expectations for marking writing tasks.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},621006,1792501623,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":24,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":29,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144,"preview_page_count":4},137451207643,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_3d24733baf745e90a7e4bdd5f77d97b2","You Are The Assessor | Level 2 Functional Skills English Writing  \nChris Briggs  \nProduct Manager Post 16 English, Maths and Digital Skills  \nHow many marks would you award?  \nSkills that power potential | Pearson Functional Skills  \nHow many marks would you award?  \nSkills that power potential | Pearson Functional Skills  \nHow many marks would you award?  \nSkills that power potential | Pearson Functional Skills  \nHow many marks would you award?  \n● When marking writing at Level 1 and Level 2, it is important to understand how Pearson assesses the writing.
