Assessed against AO1, AO2, AO3 using Revision Robin's own level descriptors below. These are not the exam board's mark scheme. Every quotation in the feedback is checked against your answer before you see it, and a teacher's mark overrides ours.
| Level 3 · 5 to 6 | Detailed and accurate knowledge and understanding of the role of energy consumption reduction strategies for a sustainable energy future is demonstrated. Applies knowledge and understanding to a specific named example with a well-developed and coherent explanation/analysis. Clear and explicit links are made to the named example/case study to explain its contribution to sustainability. The answer is well-structured and logical. |
| Level 2 · 3 to 4 | Clear knowledge and understanding of some energy consumption reduction strategies and their role in a sustainable energy future is demonstrated. Applies some knowledge and understanding to an example/context with reasonable explanation/analysis. Some links are made to the named example/case study. The answer shows some structure. |
| Level 1 · 1 to 2 | Basic knowledge and understanding of strategies to reduce energy consumption is demonstrated. Limited application of knowledge and understanding. Basic explanation/analysis which may be generic or lack detail. Little or no link made to a named example/case study. The answer may lack structure or clarity. |
