Indicative content
Candidates are likely to discuss the following evaluative points relating to Source 3:
Strengths:
Clear structure.Reasonable tone.Range of evidence.Some citation.Expert testimony with ability to know.Weaknesses:
Some anecdotal evidence.Some assertion.Not balanced with counter argument.Citation incomplete.Not much detail.The following levels of response should be used to award marks. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Good response
Clearly reasoned, credible and structured evaluation; two (or more) developed points clearly linked to the issue, with some other undeveloped points; or a wide range (four or more) of undeveloped points.
Evaluation is clearly focused on the reasoning and/or and evidence, its strengths and/or weaknesses and the way it is used to support the claim. A convincing overall assessment or conclusion is reached.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) Reasonable response
Reasonable evaluation mainly focused on the evidence, its strengths and/or weaknesses, and the way it is used to support the claim. The response may contain one (or more) developed point(s), with some other undeveloped points. Some (two or more) undeveloped points may be sufficient. An overall assessment or conclusion is attempted.
Level 1 (1–2 marks) Limited response
Limited evaluation which is often unsupported and asserted. The response is clear in part but is incomplete and generalised. It contains one
undeveloped point only. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little understanding.
An overall assessment or conclusion is weak or not attempted.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
2(b)[8]
Indicative content
Candidates are likely to discuss the following ways to test the claim stated in Source 3.

Review of secondary sources/literature/research/documents.Interview relevant experts and victims.Survey the public.Experience.Internet search.Questionnaires.Case studies.Surveys.Experiments.Other relevant response.The following levels of response should be used to award marks. Level 4 (7–8 marks) Very good response
Clearly reasoned, credible and structured explanation of a range of ways to test the claim. The response contains three (or more) developed points and may contain some undeveloped points.
The response is clearly and explicitly related to testing the claim.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) Good response
Reasoned and mainly credible explanation of ways to test the claim. The response contains two (or more) developed points and may contain some undeveloped points.
The response is explicitly related to testing the claim.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) Reasonable response
Some reasoning and explanation of ways to test the claim. The response contains one (or more) developed point(s), and/or a range of undeveloped points. The response may lack clarity.
The response is related to testing the claim.
Level 1 (1–2 marks) Limited response
Limited explanation of ways to test the claim. The response contains one or two simple, undeveloped and asserted points.
There is little relevance in the response to testing the claim or the methods, sources and types of information are generally not appropriate for the claim being tested.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
Responses that do not link explicitly to the issue/context are unable to score higher than Level 2.
