1) The candidate’s response will be assessed based on


impression.

2) The examiner shall read and re-read the response carefully and at
the same time underline for gross or minor errors or put in
insertion marks (^) where such errors occur.

3) The examiner should also mark for good vocabulary or


expressions by putting a merit tick at the end of such merits.

4) The examiner shall fit the candidate’s response against the most
appropriate band having most of the criteria as found in the
band. The examiner may have to refer to upper or lower
bands to the band already chosen to BEST FIT the student’s
response to the most appropriate band. The marks from the
band decided on for the script also depend on the number of
criteria that are found in the script.
