Exam-style question
Try this first
Describe what an assessor should do if a student's work contains nothing relevant to the project area being assessed, and explain why rereading can still be useful when work is relevant.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- If the work contains nothing relevant to the project area being assessed, the assessor must award no marks for that area.
- If the work does contain relevant material, the assessor may need to read it again while applying the mark scheme.
- Rereading can clarify points and help confirm that the assigned level and mark are appropriate.
Explanation
Why this works
The guidance gives a specific outcome for work with no relevance: no marks for that area. For relevant work, rereading supports accurate interpretation and helps the assessor check the consistency of the level and mark.
