GCSE GEOGRAPHY A Sample Assessment Materials 29COMPONENT 1 – MARKSCHEMEInstructions for examiners of GCSE Geography when applying the marking scheme1 Positive markingIt should be remembered that learners are writing under examination conditions and creditshould be given for what the learner writes, rather than adopting the approach of penalisinghim/her for any omissions. It should be possible for a very good response to achieve fullmarks and a very poor one to achieve zero marks. Marks should not be deducted for a lessthan perfect answer if it satisfies the criteria of the mark scheme.GCSE Geography marking schemes are presented in a common format as shown below:This box contains the rationale i.e. itexplains the principles that must beapplied when marking each subquestion. The examiner must applythis rationale when applying themarking scheme to the response.AO3TotalIn western Greece (1) In Ionian Sea(1) north of Cephalonia (1) 275km( /-10) from Athens (1) 280km ( /-10)from Thesaloniki (1)AO4Credit two simple statementsbased on map evidence.Credit accurate use of compasspoints max 1Credit accurate use of scale linemax 1AO2.23 (a) (i) Describe the location of the island of Lefkada.AO2.1This box contains thesub-question.AO1The columns to the rightindicate the assessmentobjective(s) targeted by thequestion and its mark tariff.22This box contains the candidates’ expectedresponses for point-based marking. For somesub-questions, those with a closed question, thisbox will indicate the only response that isacceptable. For more open ended sub-questionsthis box will illustrate a number of likelyresponses that are credit worthy. It may be thatthis list will be extended at the examiner'sconference after actual scripts have been read.For banded mark schemes this box containsindicative content.
