Paper 2 Reading and Writing October/November 2023
MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 70

Published

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 should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.

Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2023 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level components, and some Cambridge O Level
components.

This document consists of 20 printed pages.

Generic Marking Principles

These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the
specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these
marking principles.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1:

Marks must be awarded in line with:

• the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
• the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
• the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

Marks must be awarded positively:

• marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond
the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
• marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
• marks are not deducted for errors
• marks are not deducted for omissions
• answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the
question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level
descriptors.

9686/02 Cambridge International A Level – Mark Scheme October/November 2023
PUBLISHED
GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may
be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or
grade descriptors in mind.

2 General Marking Principles

2.1 Please note that it is not possible to list all acceptable alternatives in the Detailed Mark Scheme provided on the following pages. You will
need to consider all alternative answers and unexpected approaches in candidates' scripts, make a decision on whether they communicate
the required elements, in consultation with the Principal Examiner if necessary, and award marks accordingly.

2.2 Crossing out:

(a) If a candidate changes his/her mind over an answer and crosses out an attempt, award a mark if the final attempt is correct.

(b) If a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question but makes no second attempt at it, mark the crossed out work.

2.3 More than one response offered by the candidate in Questions 1 and 2:

If a candidate gives more than one response to any of the items in Question 1 or Question 2 and does not indicate which is their final response,
mark as follows:

Both answers correct = 1 mark

One answer correct and one answer incorrect = 0 marks

2.4 No response and '0' marks

There is a NR (No Response) option in RM Assessor.

Award NR (No Response):

• If there is nothing written at all in the answer space or
• If there is only a comment which does not in any way relate to the question being asked (e.g. ‘can’t do’ or ‘don’t know’) or
• If there is only a mark which isn’t an attempt at the question (e.g. a dash, a question mark).

Award 0:
• If there is any attempt that earns no credit. This could, for example, include the candidate copying all or some of the question, or any working
that does not earn any marks, whether crossed out or not.

Quality of Language – Accuracy [5]

5 Very good
Consistently accurate. Only very few errors of minor significance. Accurate use of more complex structures (verb forms, tenses,
prepositions, word order).

4 Good
Higher incidence of error than above, but clearly has a sound grasp of the grammatical elements in spite of lapses. Some capacity to use
accurately more complex structures.

3 Sound
Fair level of accuracy. Common tenses and regular verbs mostly correctly formed. Some problems in forming correct agreement of
adjectives. Difficulty with irregular verbs, use of prepositions.

2 Below average
Persistent errors in tense and verb forms. Prepositions frequently incorrect. Recurrent errors in agreement of adjectives.

0–1 Poor
Little or no evidence of grammatical awareness. Most constructions incomplete or incorrect. Consistent and repeated error.

Additional marking guidance for Quality of Language

The five marks available for Quality of Language are awarded globally for the whole performance on each set of answers.

A concise answer, containing all mark-bearing components for Content is scored on the full range of marks for language, i.e. length does not
determine the Quality of Language mark.

Answers scoring 0 for Content cannot contribute to the overall Quality of Language mark.

Identify the answer(s) scoring 0 for Content in the whole set of answers. Then add together the number of Content marks available for each of
these questions and reduce the Quality of Language mark according to the following table:

Question 5

Length of 5(a) + 5(b) (Summary and Personal Response)

• Examiners make a rough estimate of the length by a quick calculation of the number of words on a line.
• If the answer to either (a) or (b) is clearly too long, calculate the length more precisely.
• If the answer to 5(a) exceeds 150 words, insert a slash line after the 150th word to show the end of the response to be marked.
• If the answer to 5(b) exceeds 50 words, insert a slash line after the 50th word to show the end of the response to be marked.

Content marks – Summary

Indicate with a tick in the body of the text the point being rewarded. Do not penalise ‘lifting’ for content marks in this exercise, but excessive
reliance on the text will reduce the language mark.

The summary could include the following points (award 1 mark for each point covered up to a maximum of 10 points):

Content marks – Response to the Text

Mark like a mini-essay according to the variety and interest of the opinions and views expressed, the response to the original text stimulus and
the ability to express a personal point of view. Further, more detailed guidance for particular questions will be given to examiners.

5(b) ‫بتکینیبےکیارےںیماینپراےئیکواضحےیجیک۔‬ 5

5 Very good
Varied and interesting ideas, showing an element of
flair and imagination, a capacity to express a personal
point of view.

4 Good
Not the flair and imagination of the best candidates,
but work still shows an ability to express a range of
ideas, maintain interest and respond to the issues
raised.

3 Sound
A fair level of interest and ideas. May concentrate on a
single issue, but there is still a response to ideas in the
text.

2 Below average
Limited range of ideas; rather humdrum. May
disregard the element of response to the text, and
write a largely unrelated free-composition.

0–1 Poor
Few ideas to offer on the theme. Banal and pedestrian.
No element of personal response to the text. Repeated
error.
