Assessed against AO1, AO2 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 · 6 to 8 | Demonstrates detailed and accurate knowledge and understanding of internal migration patterns and their impacts. Applies knowledge and understanding to analyse and evaluate how these patterns are changing the character of both rural and urban areas with well-developed arguments. A clear, sustained and logical line of reasoning is presented, drawing well-selected and relevant evidence from UK examples to support points made. A clear and reasoned examination is provided. |
| Level 2 · 3 to 5 | Demonstrates sound knowledge and understanding of internal migration patterns and some of their impacts. Applies knowledge and understanding to analyse and evaluate how these patterns are changing the character of rural and/or urban areas with some developed arguments. A line of reasoning is presented with some clarity, drawing on some appropriate evidence from UK examples to support points made. An examination is present but may lack depth or full reasoning. |
| Level 1 · 1 to 2 | Demonstrates limited knowledge and understanding of internal migration patterns or their impacts. Describes aspects of population change with simple statements. Arguments are generic or unconvincing, with limited or no use of relevant UK examples. No clear examination or one that is superficial. |
