INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS

1. Candidates are expected to answer ALL the questions.

2. This memorandum serves as a guide to markers. Some responses may require a

marker¡¯s discretion.

3. Candidates¡¯ responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.

MARKING THE COMPREHENSION

o

Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in

responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the

meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)

o

If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,

disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.

However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an

answer, this will be acceptable.

o

For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I

AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be

considered.

o

When one word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,

mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted.

o

When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first

two/three.

o

Accept dialectal variations.

o

For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the

correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.

o

Coherent and relevant quotes from the passage are acceptable. The response must

answer the question.
