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 Examiner. It 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. No student should be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to the gender identity of others in their exam responses. A consistent use of ‘they/them’ as a singular and pronouns beyond ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him’ will be credited in exam responses in line with existing mark scheme criteria.

MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES – 7062/2B – JUNE 2024 3 Methods of Marking It is essential that, in fairness to students, all examiners use the same methods of marking. The advice given here may seem very obvious, but it is important that all examiners follow it as exactly as possible. 1. If you have any doubts about the mark to award, consult your Team Leader. 2. Refer constantly to the mark scheme throughout marking. It is extremely important that it is strictly adhered to. 3. Remember, you must always credit accurate, relevant and appropriate answers which are not given in the mark scheme. 4. Do not credit material that is irrelevant to the question or to the stated target, however impressive that material might be. 5. If a one-word answer is required and a list is given, take the first answer (unless this has been crossed out). 6. 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?’ 7. Read the information below about using Levels of Response mark schemes. 8. 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. 9. No half marks or bonus marks are to be used under any circumstances. 10. Remember, the key to good and fair marking is consistency. Do not change the standard of your marking once you have started.
