MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION FOR MARKING
RM ASSESSOR
- Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM Assessor Online Training: OCR Essential Guide to
Marking.
- Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are available in RM Assessor
- Log-in to RM Assessor and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the required number of standardisation responses.
MARKING
- Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
- Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
- The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor 50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100% Batch 2) deadlines. If
you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
- If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone, email or via the RM Assessor messaging system.
- Crossed-Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed-out response is not marked. Where no alternative response has
been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed-out response where legible.
Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than required, then all responses are marked
and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given. Enter a mark for each question answered into RM Assessor, which will select the highest mark from those
awarded. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves by attempting more questions than necessary in the time allowed.)
J587/02 Mark Scheme June 2025
Multiple-Choice Question Responses
When a multiple-choice question has only a single, correct response and a candidate provides two responses (even if one of these responses is correct), then no mark
should be awarded (as it is not possible to determine which was the first response selected by the candidate).
When a question requires candidates to select more than one option/multiple options, then local marking arrangements need to ensure consistency of approach.
Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct.
Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually worth only one mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer responses then only the set number of responses should be marked. The response space
should be marked from left to right on each line and then line by line until the required number of responses have been considered. The remaining responses should
not then be marked. Examiners will have to apply judgement as to whether a ‘second response’ on a line is a development of the ‘first response’, rather than a
separate, discrete response. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate is attempting to hedge their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than
engaging with the question and giving the most relevant/correct responses.)
Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or more marks )
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or factors and four items or factors are provided, then mark on a similar basis – that is
downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will provide more than one response in each section of the response space).
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or high tariff question which only required a single (developed) response and not crossed out
the first response, then only the first response should be marked. Examiners will need to apply professional judgement as to whether the second (or a subsequent)
response is a ‘new start’ or simply a poorly expressed continuation of the first response.
- Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there. If the candidate has
continued an answer there, then add the annotation ‘SEEN’ to confirm that the work has been seen and mark any responses using the annotations in section 11.

KU, EG and DEV used instead of ticks on the extended response question to indicate where knowledge or development points from the indicative content have been made.
▪ On the extended response question (*), one KU, EG or DEV does not necessarily equate to one mark being awarded; the marking is based on a levels of
response mark scheme which awards a level and mark holistically based upon the quality of the response overall against the levels descriptors
