General Marking Guidance
              All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the
               first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
              Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded
               for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
              Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to
               their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
              There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should
               be used appropriately.
              All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners
               should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the
               mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if
               the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark
               scheme.
              Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the
               principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be
               limited.
              When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme
               to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted.
              Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it
               with an alternative response.

achieve the correct answer then all marks can be awarded. If they do not achieve the correct
answer B0 M1 A0 dM1 A0.
