For Part 1a of SBCS A-Level Marking Rubrics Level Level Description Marks 0 No evidence submitted or answer does not address the question. 0 1 The answer will describe the content of each source and is likely to be characterised by paraphrasing or quotation. Very simple comparisons may be made but these will not be developed (e.g. one source is from a speech and the other is from a letter). Answers that are simply based on contextual knowledge, with no source use, should be credited at this level. Towards the upper end of the level, there may be some attempt to explain how far the sources corroborate and/or differ, bu t any explanation will be confused or partial. 1-32 The answer will use both sources. There will be clear explanation on how far the sources corroborate and differ and this will be supported with source details. Towards the upper end of the level, the answer will use detail from each source to explain the similarities and differences between the sources. Answers which argue that the sources agree or disagree with each other (i.e. one sided) but provide critical insight into the reasons for the similarities or differences may be found in this level. Towards the lower end of the level, the answer may be one-sided, explaining either similarities or differences between the sources. Alternatively, the answer could treat the sources separately with most or all of the comparison implicit. 4-7 3 The answer will make effective use of both sources. There will be clear explanation on how far the sources corroborate and differ (i.e. supported with source details). Towards the upper end of the level, the answer will also demonstrate developed evaluation of both sources, providing cr itical insight into the reasons for their similarities and differences. At the lower end of the level, the insigh t into the reasons for similarities and differences may be uneven. Answers in which only one source is evaluated may also be found in this level. 8-10 For Part 1b of SBCS A-Level Marking Rubrics Level Level Description Marks 0 No evidence submitted or answer does not address the question. 0 1 The answer will make limited use of the sources. The sources may be paraphrased or described. Answers which are simply based on contextual knowledge with no source use should be credited at this level. Towards the upper end of the level, some relevant information from the sources may be extracted at face value to supp ort and/or challenge the hypothesis, but the answer may be undeveloped. 1-6

Level Level Description Marks 2 The answer will use relevant information from sources at face value to support and/or challenge the hypothesis. Sources may be used in isolation. The answer may demonstrate some awareness of provenance of the sources but evaluation of the sources is unlikely. Towards the upper end of the level, answe rs will be balanced, using most of the sources, and may contain some valid eval
