Marking Method
Each script should be read slowly and annotated as detailed in the marking scheme. A
brief comment at the end of the script is sometimes helpflrl when checking accuracy
of the marking, particularly when the script has produced an answer which is not
entirely catered for the marking scheme, but which is a valid response to the task and
therefore should be given credit.

The reader is able to get some sense out of the script but errors are
multiple in nature, requiring the reader to read and re-read before
being able to understand.
At this level, there may be only a few accurate but simple sentences.
The content may be comprehensible, but the incidence of linguistic
eror is so high as to make meaning blur.
This t)ape of script may also be far short of the required number of
words.
