How are marks allocated for questions including the verbs ‘identify’ and ‘state’?
For questions which require candidates to ‘identify’ certain points within a scenario, generally half to one mark will be awarded for the identification of an issue. Where candidates are asked to ‘state’ various points, generally half to one mark will be available for each point made (eg the December 2010 paper asked candidates to state four benefits of documenting audit work, and attracted one mark per point).
