It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and
expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes
on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain
constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.
