GCSE Level Marking

February 22, 2007

I need to get you all to understand the concept of level marking.

In the GCSE exam, answers worth more than 2 marks will be marked using a level of response. You are not awarded a mark for every correct point you make. In general it works like this:

Level 1: Basic (1 or 2 marks)
Knowledge of basic information
Simple understanding
No links between statements
Little or no detail
Few specialist terms

Level 2: Clear (3 or 4 marks)
Knowledge of accurate information
Clear understanding
Links between statements
Some named examples
Use of specialist terms

Level 3 (5 or 6 marks)
Usually found at the end of a question, a level 3 answer requires in depth knowledge and understanding, very clear links between statements, and detailed case study examples.
