Students and teachers are always keen to know what a ‘model’ or ‘good’ answer would be. The different exam boards now offer exemplar material of students’ scripts for training purposes, so that you can seen what a top response looks like.
When I share these with my students they are always amazed that a particular response is awarded ‘full’ marks. They always claim that there is something wrong with it or that it could be improved even further with additional points. While this is invariably true, the key point that they have missed is that all examiners are encouraged to adopt a ‘positive’ attitude within their marking, i.e. they look to reward what is included, rather than focusing on what isn’t.
