The language is sufficiently accurate to communicate meaning clearly

The high incidence of linguistic errors is likely to distract the reader

incorrectly used or the article may not be paragraphed at all. There may be
errors of sentence separation and punctuation.
The tonemay be inappropriate for a report.
Meaning is fairly clear but high incidence of throughout the writing
will definitely impede the reading.

to understand.
At this level, there may be only a few accurate but simple sentences.

error is so high as to make meaning blur.
This type of script may also be far short of the required number of

SECTION B : MARKING SCHEME FOR CONTINUOUS WRITING

1) The candidates 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 candidates 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 students 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.

5) Justify the band and marks given, if necessary, by commenting on the strengths and
weaknesses of the candidates response, using the criteria found in the band.
