AFL25 - Question Paper and Mark Scheme - Definitions of Abnormality very useful for revision and the build up to the AS exams (Questions and Assessment are also available ONLINE with LIVE feedback contact Nick & Bethan for further details) - We use it week by week and our schools, student and parents love it.
It must be stressed that our assessment for learning and mark schemes are working documents, updated and adapted year on year - developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper and senior examiner reports. Assumptions about mark schemes and future mark schemes that we create are based on all the current available STEM but whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details change year on year, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.
