8001 GENERAL PAPER
8001/11 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 50

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination.



CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

    Assessment requirements Candidates must successfully complete all parts of an assessment to a satisfactory and appropriate standard in order to gain a pass for that assessment. The assessments have been designed to assess the ability of candidates to cover a range of issues associated with a given unit. Consequently, it is not appropriate for parts of any assessment to be omitted, submitted incomplete or be of an unsatisfactory standard. Tutors/assessors are reminded of their responsibility to provide written feedback to candidates regarding their assessments and of the fact that candidates should not be encouraged to submit work for final assessment until it is complete and to the appropriate standard for the task. Candidates must have achieved the minimum marks indicated for each task, and the overall assessment. Candidates may retake any particular task. Guidance on this is provided in the Assessment guidance document. Candidates may choose to word process their answers. Assessors may guide candidates in the length of their responses. They should use the marking guidance as a rough indication of what should be covered, and use the space provided in the task box as a guide as to how much should be written. Resubmission Candidates may resubmit their assessment work if tasks were failed on the first submission if centres think that a further assessment opportunity would result in a positive outcome for the candidate. Grading and marking Assessments are marked by the centre and graded Pass/Fail only. The…

    The mark schemes provide markers with an indication of the nature and range of candidates’ responses likely to be worthy of credit. They also set out the criteria which they should apply in allocating marks to candidates’ responses. The mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the general marking instructions. Assessment Objectives The following are the objectives for GCSE music. Candidates must demonstrate aural perception, musical skills, knowledge and understanding and communication through a series of interrelated assessment objectives. All candidates must develop the following skills: • performing skills: performing/realising with technical control, expression and interpretation (AO1); • composing skills: composing/creating and developing musical ideas with technical control and coherence (AO2); and • listening and appraising skills: analysing and evaluating music using musical terminology (AO3). Quality of candidates’ responses In marking the examination papers, examiners should be looking for a quality response reflecting the level of maturity which may reasonably be expected of a 16-year-old which is the age at which the majority of candidates sit their GCSE examinations. Flexibility in marking Mark schemes are not intended to be totally prescriptive. No mark scheme can cover all the response which candidates may produce. In the event of anticipated answers, examiners are expected to use their professional judgement to asses the validity of answers. If an answer is particularly problematic, then examiners should seek the guidance of the Supervising Examiners. Positive Marking Examiners are encouraged to be positive in their marking, giving appropriate credit for what candidates know, understand and can do rather than penalising candidates for errors or omissions. Examiners should make use of the whole of the…

    NOTE TO TEACHERS: At the end of this paper ETA has provided some general guidelines for marking to help in the assessment process. However, as each school has set its own assessment practices in place and each school teaches different texts to different students, the teachers need to engage with the assessment processes themselves and establish specific points of distinction between answers. We see this as part of our professional skills and responsibilities. We have provided templates and examples for your guidance only.…
