Guidance on applying the marking grids for GCSE Latin The classification below should be seen only as a general guide, the intention of which is to maintain standards year on year. Lead Markers should consider each instance on its own merits in the context of the passage and the section. The mark scheme awards marks for the proportion of sense communicated. If a candidate has communicated the ‘gist’ of a sentence (e.g. they know who has done what to whom) they will score 5, 4 or 3 marks. If they have not understood the basic sense of the sentence, they will score a maximum of 2. A completely correct translation with no omissions or errors will always score 5. The key judgment for a candidate who has demonstrated understanding of the overall meaning of the sentence is whether they should score 5, 4 or 3. This will depend on the gravity of theirJ282/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 12 errors/omissions and may depend on the number of words in the sentence to be translated or the difficulty of the Latin and is usually decided at standardisation after a judgment has been formed about the performance of candidates. A word containing more than one error should be treated as a maximum of one serious error. Repeated and consequential vocabulary errors should not be penalised. e.g. tum, gaudentes quod Scipio libenter se acceperat, ad naves suas reverterunt. ‘then, rejoicing because Scipio had received them willingly, they turned back to their ships’ (i) ‘rejoicing because Scipio had received them willingly, they turned back to their ships’ - the omission of tum is an inconsequential error, so 5 marks out of 5. (ii) ‘then, rejoicing because Scipio had received them willingly, they turned back to their ship’ - the number error on ‘ship’ (it’s plural in the Latin) is an inconsequential error, so 5 marks. (iii) ‘then, rejoicing because Scipio was receiving them willingly, they turned back to their ship’ - despite the tense error on acceperat and the number of naves, the candidate has clearly got the point, so a mark of 4 is appropriate. (iv) ‘then, unhappy because Scipio had received them, they turned back to their ships’ - the mistranslation of gaudentes is a more serious error here, as it gets the wrong point (they were happy, not unhappy!) and the omission of libenter could be considered a serious omission. The overall sense is more or less correct (Scipio had received them and they went back to their ships) so a mark of 3 would be appropriate. (v) ‘Scipio was unhappy because they had not welcomed him and they turned back to their ship’ - there are a number of errors here (no tum, Scipio taken as agreeing with gaudentes, wrong meaning of gaudentes, omission of libenter, number of naves) but the key judgment point is that the general meaning has not been communicated, so a maximum of 2 would be appropriate. It has enough correct sense to score more than 1. The sort of errors that we would generally expect to be considered ‘inconsequential’ would be: • number errors (singular/plural - naves taken as singular above) • minor tense errors (e.g. one past tense taken as another - acceperat taken as imperfect above) • minor conjunctions/adverbs incorrectly translated or omitted (tum above) • failure to reproduce proper nouns in the nominative caseJ282/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 13 • incorrect third person subject pronouns (e.g. ‘he’ instead of ‘she’) • adjectives or adverbs incorrectly translated as superlative • omission of pronoun agent in active to passive transposition • a minor vocabulary error which does not prevent communication of the meaning of the Latin (e.g. eodem tempore = ‘at that time’) The sort of errors that we would generally expect to be considered ‘more serious’ would be: • major vocabulary errors which give the wrong sense (e.g. gaudentes taken as ‘unhappy’ above). • errors of case • the omission of a word which affects the meaning of a section • errors of tense (apart from minor tense errors – see above), e.g. a future tense taken as a past tense • incorrect constructions – for example:  missing a purpose clause (e.g. ad forum ivit ut cibum emeret = ‘he went to the form and bought food’)  missing a gerundive (e.g. ad forum ivit ad cibum emendum = ‘buying food he went to the forum’)  incorrect handling of ablative absolute • errors of voice (e.g. milites necati sunt = ‘The soldiers killed’) • errors of person (except ‘he’/’she’) The categorisation of ‘inconsequential’ and ‘more serious’ errors might vary within a paper, depending on the length of the sentence for translation (e.g. the omission of a word in a five word sentence might be judged more serious than a similar omission in a twelve word sentence) and might vary between papers. The final decisions on what constitute ‘inconsequential’ and ‘more serious’ errors will be made and communicated to assessors via the standardisation process (after full consideration of candidates’ responses) and these decisions will be captured in the final mark scheme for examiners and centres. 5 Perfectly accurate with no errors or omissions, or one inconsequential error 4 Essentially correct but two inconsequential errors or one more serious 3 Overall meaning clear, but more serious errors or omissions 2 Part correct; but with overall sense lacking/unclear 1 No continuous sense; isolated knowledge of vocabulary onlyJ282/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 14 0 No response worthy of credit Question Answer Mark Guidance Content Examples of inconsequential and more serious errors 19 (i) proximo anno senatores Pulchrum in Siciliam miserunt.
