0470/12 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 90 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Applying the Mark Scheme • When marking a response the overall criterion to be considered should be – ‘How good is this response to this question?’ • The Level Descriptor should be used to decide the level into which the quality of the answer fits. • Exhaustive lists of possible facts are not given in the mark scheme, as there is often a choice of factual knowledge that candidates may use. • WHERE EXAMPLES OF RESPONSES ARE GIVEN, THESE ARE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE, BUT ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE. It is not possible to cover every possible type of response within a levels of response mark scheme and examiners are expected to use their professional judgement at all times in ensuring that responses are placed in the correct level and given an appropriate mark within that level. • Marking must be positive. Marks must not be deducted for inaccurate or irrelevant parts of answers. In itself, poor use of historical terminology, spelling, grammar or handwriting does not affect the mark. The overall quality of the answer to the question should be judged. • If a candidate reaches a particular level, s/he must be rewarded with a mark within that level. It is not necessary to work through the levels. • The full range of marks should be used. Do not be afraid to award full marks or no marks. Failure to do this will seriously affect the distribution of marks. Be prepared to reward candidates who show any level of understanding. The mark scheme starts from basic acceptable response. Where a band of marks is indicated for a level, these marks should be used with reference to the development of the answer within that level. Assessment Objectives (a) recall, description (b) recall, explanation (c) recall, explanation and analysis

Level 3 One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘In 2006, Hamas won a majority in the Palestinian parliament. The Hamas majority in the parliament refused to recognise the state of Israel. As a result, Israel, the USA and European governments refused to have dealings with Hamas. The peace process stalled yet again.’ OR e.g. ‘The issue of Jewish settlements on the West Bank remains the greatest obstacle to peace. These continue to expand under both hard-line and more moderate Israeli governments. This is preventing the emergence of a viable Palestinian state.’
