Mark Scheme 2 (03)

Mark Scheme

L1:

The answer is descriptive and only loosely linked to the question, or there is comment but with little support. It is likely to be assertive and generalised.
[1–2 marks]

L2:

There will be some relevant knowledge and understanding, but the answer will be mainly descriptive about the events leading to Wolsey’s fall, with few links explaining their relationship; or explanations will show limited range and/or depth.
[3–6 marks]

L3:

Answers will show good understanding, with relevant explanations (at least two developed ones) of why Wolsey fell out of favour with Henry VIII, using appropriate knowledge, although the answer may not cover all aspects.
[7–9 marks]

L4:

The answer will be well focused on the issue of why Wolsey fell in 1529, with a range of explanations, backed up with precise evidence and probably showing a good awareness of links/connections.
[10–12 marks]
