MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/SF – JUNE 2026
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the
relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made
at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by
them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the
students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same
correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ tests.
Alternative answers not covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after
the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they
are required to refer these to the Lead Examiner.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and
expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark
schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of
assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular
examination paper.
