Paper 1: Source-based case study
- Choose the Paper 1 option, marked (Structured).
- Upload the source extracts as the Question paper, along with your answer scheme (your marking scheme). ren. needs the sources to mark the answers properly.
- Write the marks for every part, including the essay-style part, so each part is read into the answer scheme.
- Marks for how students use and weigh the sources need your judgement. Check these yourself.
Paper 2: Essays
- Choose the Paper 2 option, marked (Essay).
- Under Do you have an answer key?, choose Yes, I'll add it and upload your mark scheme with its bands. ren. marks against the bands you give.
- Check the first few marks carefully. You can change how ren. marks with the marking chat.
- Marks for synthesis and historiography may need your own check.
Try a few first
For a new essay paper, choose Let me mark a few myself first when you start marking. You mark two or three scripts, and ren. compares your marks with its own. It suggests fixes to the answer scheme before it marks the rest. See Mark a few first.
Mixed or other papers
If your assignment mixes papers, or none of the options match, choose Custom.... See Choose a paper type.
