Exam-style question
Try this first
Explain how an examiner could distinguish between a Level 2 and a Level 3 response for completeness of solution. Include the relevant mark ranges in your answer.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- A Level 2 response achieves many of the requirements but does not achieve all of them.
- It is awarded between 6 and 10 marks, with the higher marks in the band used when the system includes some of the most important requirements.
- A Level 3 response meets almost all of the requirements of the solution or investigation, after ignoring requirements that go beyond the demands of A-level.
- It is awarded between 11 and 15 marks.
Explanation
Why this works
The key comparison is the completeness of the requirements met. Level 2 indicates substantial but incomplete achievement, whereas Level 3 indicates that almost all relevant requirements have been met.
