Always number the questions sequentially (Question 1, Question 2, Question 3, …) **in the order they appear in the PDF**, even if the PDF shows a different number or leaves it blank. Do NOT skip or leave Question: blank. Never start a question other than question 1 (even if it is labelled in pdf as 8 name it 1). 4. If a question or sub-question is labelled with a letter (e.g., "Q1.a", "Q2(b)", "1 (c)(i)"), transcribe it as "Question 1.a", "Question 2.b", "Question 1.c.i" etc., exactly preserving the hierarchy of sub-question identifiers. 5.

Apply the following grading rules precisely and consistently. ### Mark Abbreviations: - **M**: Method marks – awarded for correct mathematical procedures, approaches, or techniques - **A**: Accuracy/Answer marks – awarded for correct final or intermediate answers - **R**: Reasoning marks – awarded for justifications, explanations, or logical deductions - **AG**: Answer Given – the answer is provided in the question; award no marks for simply stating it - **FT**: Follow Through – marks awarded when a student correctly applies a method using their own previous (incorrect) answer - **MR**: Misread – penalty applied when student misreads a value from the question (deduct from first applicable A-mark only, once per question) --- ## Grading Rules ### Core Principles: 1. **Award marks using official annotations** (e.g., M1, A2, R1). 2. **Do not award full marks for answers alone** – check that the required method steps are present. 3. **A-marks typically depend on M-marks** – an A-mark usually requires the corresponding M-mark to be earned first (unless the markscheme explicitly states otherwise). 4. **Accept equivalent forms** unless the markscheme specifies exact form (e.g., "simplified form only"). 5. **Apply Follow Through (FT)** when a student uses an incorrect answer correctly in subsequent steps. 6. **Misread (MR) Penalty**: If a student misreads a numerical value from the question: - Deduct from the **first applicable A-mark** in that question only - Apply MR penalty **once per question** (not per sub-question) - M-marks can still be awarded if the method is correct - Annotate as: `\\textcolor{red}{A0 (MR applied)}` ### Formatting & LaTeX Constraints (CRITICAL): - **Red Text**: Use LaTeX syntax for lost marks or errors. Do NOT use HTML. - Correct: `\\textcolor{red}{M0}` - Incorrect: `M0` - **Math Delimiters**: Ensure ALL mathematical expressions, variables, and numbers are enclosed in single dollar signs. - Correct: `$x^2 + y^2 = 4$` - Incorrect: x^2 + y^2 = 4 - **Table Integrity**: Ensure table cells contain NO line breaks. Keep descriptions concise on a single line. - **Highlighting**: - In the "Awarded" column, if a mark is 0 or lost, format it as `\\textcolor{red}{M0}` or `\\textcolor{red}{A0}`. - In the "Examiner Notes", if referring to a specific error, you may wrap it in `\\textcolor{red}{...}`. ### Graph/Diagram Questions: - When graph/diagram images are provided, describe visual evidence in the "Examiner Notes" column - Examples: "Correct parabola shape, y-intercept matches", "Line has wrong gradient", "Asymptote missing" --- ## Output Format Produce the following structure for each question/sub-question: ### Question <1.a> **Markscheme vs Student Answer** | Mark ID | Markscheme Expectation | Student's Response | Awarded | Examiner Notes | |---------|------------------------|-------------------|---------|----------------| | M1 | Use product rule: $u'v + uv'$ | Student wrote: $u'v + uv'$ | M1 | Correct method applied | | A1 | $2xe^x + e^x$ | Student answer: $x e^x$ | \\textcolor{red}{A0} | Missing the factor of 2 | **Total: X/Y** --- *(Repeat for all questions)* --- ### Examiner's Summary Report **IMPORTANT**: Group all sub-questions under their parent question. Sum the marks for all sub-parts (e.g., 1.a, 1.b, 1.c) and report as a single entry for Question 1. **Format Rules for Summary Report**: - If a question has sub-parts (1.a, 1.b, etc.), group them as "Question 1" with combined marks - If a question has no sub-parts (just "Question 2"), report it directly - Assign ONE overall remark per grouped question based on the predominant error type across all sub-parts - **CRITICAL**: If a student writes "NA", "N/A", "Not Applicable", or similar for a question, assign remark **E** and award 0 marks. **Only when remark **E** is used do we subtract the question's marks from the adjusted total; all other remarks (including **D**) are counted in the total. - **CRITICAL**: Calculate adjusted total by excluding marks from questions with remark **E** (NA questions) - Example: If paper total is 63 marks, but Question 8 (6 marks) is marked NA by student: - Adjusted total = 63 - 6 = 57 marks - Report as: **Total: /** (e.g., "Total: 45/57" not "45/63") | Question Number | Marks | Remark | Feedback | |-----------------|-------|--------|----------| | 1 | 10/12 | A | Strong answer, only minor mistake | | 2 | 0/8 | E | Student wrote "NA" - question not applicable | | 3 | 7/10 | C | Adequate, but lacked depth/clarity | | ... | ... | ... | ..... | **Total: /** --- ## Remark Codes (assign ONE per grouped question): - **A**: All Good – mostly full marks across sub-parts, no major errors - **B**: Silly Mistake – minor arithmetic/algebraic slips (e.g., $2 + 3 = 6$, sign error in final step) - **C**: Conceptual Error – wrong formula, incorrect method, fundamental misunderstanding in one or more sub-parts - **D**: Hard Question - Assigned when the student leaves the question blank, crosses it out, or makes no meaningful attempt. - **E**: Not Applicable - Assigned only when the question is explicitly marked as "Not Applicable" (NA). 3. **Graph images** (if applicable) for questions involving diagrams - Match student answers to question IDs from the QP+MS transcript. - Grade according to the **verbatim markscheme**, but accept mathematically/conceptually equivalent answers (justify in "Examiner Notes"). - For graph questions, use provided images as visual context and describe what you observe. - Ensure mark IDs in your grading table match those in the markscheme. - Be consistent: if a student makes the same type of error multiple times, apply the same penalty logic each time. """ # Science-specific grading guidelines (from Cambridge IGCSE Mark Scheme) SCIENCE_SPECIFIC_GUIDELINES = """ ## Acronyms and Shorthand | Acronym / shorthand | Explanation | |--------------------|-------------| | **A mark** | Final answer mark for a fully correct answer including the unit. | | **C mark** | Compensatory mark awarded when the A mark is not. | | **B mark** | Independent mark not dependent on other marks. | | **M mark** | Method mark that must be scored before any linked A mark. | | **( ) Brackets** | Words not required; contradicting bracketed content negates the mark. | | **Underlining** | Underlined word or correct synonym must appear; exact word needed for technical terms. | | **/** or **OR** | Any listed alternative gains credit. | | **owtte** | Or words to that effect. | | **ignore** | Incorrect/irrelevant point disregarded and not treated as contradictory. | | **insufficient** | Not worthy of credit on its own. | | **CON** | Contradicts a correct point; mark not awarded. | | **ecf [part]** | Error carried forward if used correctly in later steps. | | **cao** | Correct answer only. | --- # Science-Specific Marking Rules (Condensed) 1. **Keyword Use** Credit awarded only when keywords are used in correct scientific context. 2. **Contradictions** Contradicted points receive no credit. Irrelevant wrong science is ignored. 3. **Spelling** Must clearly distinguish between similar syllabus terms (e.g. ethane/ethene, glucagon/glycogen). 4. **Error Carried Forward (ECF)** Incorrect earlier values may receive later credit if used logically and scientifically correctly. 5. **List Rule** - Treat responses as continuous prose. - Incorrect responses count toward required number; “ignore” items do not. - Contradictory responses cancel credit. - Extra responses beyond the required number may be ignored if scientifically wrong. 6. **Calculation Guidance** - Full credit for correct answers even without working unless “show working” is required. - Accept values that round correctly to expected significant figures. - Standard-form coefficient flexibility allowed if convertible. - Missing/incorrect units usually invalidate the final calculation mark unless separately credited. 7. **Chemical-Equation Guidance** - Accept multiples/fractions of coefficients unless stated otherwise. - Ignore state symbols unless required.

Lists without explanation earn limited credit. 3. **Both sides needed for 'Discuss'**: Award high marks only when the answer presents advantages and disadvantages with economic reasoning. 4. **Apply the list rule**: For "State two…", only the first two non-contradictory, relevant points count. 5. **Diagram marks must match requirements**: Diagrams must include: - Correctly labelled axes - Labelled curves - Correct shifts/movements - Equilibrium points 6. **Do not credit contradictory statements**: If an answer contradicts itself, remove credit for that point. 7. **Allow valid alternative economics**: If the logic is correct and consistent with economic theory, accept it even if wording differs from the markscheme. ### Example Marking Standards: **Explain question example:** Question: Explain why a fall in income may reduce the demand for new cars. (2 marks) - **Good answer (full marks)**: A fall in income reduces consumers' purchasing power (1), making new cars less affordable, so quantity demanded decreases (1). - **Weak answer**: "People will buy fewer cars." (No reasoning → 0–1 mark.) ### Economics-Specific Mark Types: - **Knowledge marks**: For correct identification of economic concepts - **Application marks**: For applying economic theory to specific contexts - **Analysis marks**: For explaining economic relationships and cause-effect chains - **Evaluation marks**: For weighing up arguments, considering limitations, making judgments """ # Economics grading prompt ECONOMICS_GRADING_PROMPT = { "role": "system", "content": COMMON_GRADING_RULES + ECONOMICS_SPECIFIC_GUIDELINES } # Function to get the appropriate grading prompt based on subject def get_grading_prompt(subject="maths"): """ Get the appropriate grading prompt based on the subject.
