MARKIING GUIDELINES

Time: 3 hoours 200 marks

These marking guidelines area preparred for usse by exa aminers annd sub-exxaminers,
all of whhom are required to attend a standarrdisation meeting tto ensure that the
guideliness are con
nsistently interpretted and applied in the markking of candidates'
scripts.

The IEB will not enter

e into
o any disccussions or
o corresppondence aabout any y marking
guideliness. It is acknowleddged thatt there maym be different
d views abo
out some
matters of emph hasis or detail
d in the guid delines. It
t is also recognissed that,
without tthe benef fit of atttendance at a standardisation meetiing, there e may be
differentt interpre
etations off the appplication of the marrking guid
delines.
