Judge the response as a whole
Compare the overall quality of the work with the level descriptors instead of allowing one small weakness to determine the level.
The guidance specifically says to consider overall quality rather than small or specific parts where performance is weaker.
Separate the level from the mark
Remember the sequence: assign a level first, then use exemplar comparison and the mark scheme to determine the mark.
The specification requirement explicitly describes determining the mark as Step 2, after a level has been assigned.
