Mark Scheme
| Level 1 1–2 marks | The answer is descriptive and only loosely linked to the question, or is explicitly linked but with little support. It is likely to be assertive and generalised. |
| Level 2 3–6 marks | There will be some relevant knowledge and understanding, but the answer will be mainly descriptive about Stalin’s policy of ‘Socialism in One Country’, with few links; or explanations will show limited range and/or depth. |
| Level 3 7–9 marks | The answer will show good understanding, with relevant explanations of why Stalin promoted ‘Socialism in One Country’, using appropriate knowledge, although it may not cover all aspects. |
| Level 4 10–12 marks | The answer will be well focused on the issue of Stalin’s motives, with a range of explanations, backed up with precise evidence about motives and probably showing a good awareness of links/connections. |
