I was asked to look at the marking criteria and see what is asked of the candidates, what information examiners seek in the candidates response in order to get the highest marks.
For level 4, candidates should show an excellent understanding of the task, meaning that they should show in their work if they understand what they were asked to do for the task by correctly identifying the topics mentioned in the question. They should also write about the technical aspects used in the extract, so identify and describe the different techniques used in the extract to represent their knowledge and understanding of it. Also, they must link the extract's representations to textual analysis and analyse the extract in terms of the representations. All answers to the first paragraph must be relevant to the set question and they must be clear, showing an excellent understanding of what the candidates were asked to do.
Another paragraph for separate marking is the use of examples in candidates response. For example, if they are writing about how gender is represented in the extract they are looking at, they must provide a relevant example from that extract. There also must be lots of relevant examples of each technical area (techniques used in the extract to present the topic in the question). All examples must be strongly relevant to the extract and the question that has been set.
Another part of the answer being marked separately is the use of relevant and accurate terminology used to discuss the subject of representation in the extract. The terminology must be correct and advanced, using professional terms for techniques used in the extract and ways in which the representation has been used in the extract.
