INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS
 Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.

 Candidates’ responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.

Marking the comprehension

 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.)

 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.

 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.

 When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole
sentence, mark correct provided that the correct word is
underlined/highlighted.

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

 Accept dialectal variations.

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

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

is deceiving as the passage is about the queen’s background and not
about her versatility.
