All Subjects
E-Marking Notes
This includes overall comments on students’ performance on every question and some
specific examples of students’ responses which support the mentioned comments. Please note
that the descriptive comments represent an overall perception of the better and weaker
responses as gathered from the e-marking session. However, the candidates’ responses shared
in this document represent some specific example(s) of the mentioned comments.
Teachers and candidates should be aware that examiners may ask questions that address the
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) in a manner that requires candidates to respond by
integrating knowledge, understanding and application skills they have developed during the
course of study. Candidates are advised to read and comprehend each question carefully
before writing the response to fulfil the demand of the question.
Candidates need to be aware that the marks allocated to the questions are related to the
answer space provided on the examination paper as a guide to the length of the required
response. A longer response will not in itself lead to higher marks. Candidates need to be
familiar with the command words in the Student Learning Outcomes which contain terms
commonly used in examination questions. However, candidates should also be aware that not
all questions will start with or contain one of the command words. Words such as ‘how’,
‘why’ or ‘what’ may also be used.
