Page 52 BEC VANTAGE ASSESSMENT OF WRITING
An impression mark is awarded to each piece of writing. The General Impression Mark Scheme is used in conjunction with a Task-specific Mark Scheme, which focuses on criteria specific to each particular task. This summarises the content, organisation, register, format and target reader indicated in the task.
The band scores awarded are translated to a mark out of 10 for Part 1 and a mark out of 20 for Part 2. A total of 30 marks is available for Writing.
The General Impression Mark Scheme is interpreted at Council of Europe level B2.
A summary of the General Impression Mark Scheme is reproduced below. Examiners work with a more detailed version, which is subject to regular updating. Band 5 Full realisation of the task set.
? All content points included and expanded upon where the task allows. ? Controlled, natural use of language; minimal errors which are minor. ? Wide range of structure and vocabulary.
? Effectively organised, with appropriate use of cohesive devices. ? Register and format consistently appropriate. Very positive effect on the reader. Band 4 Good realisation of the task set. ? All content points adequately dealt with.
? Generally accurate, errors when complex language is attempted. ? Good range of structure and vocabulary.
? Generally well-organised, with attention paid to cohesion. ? Register and format on the whole appropriate. Positive effect on the reader.
Band 3 Reasonable achievement of the task set.
? All major content points included; some minor omissions.
? A number of errors will be present, but they do not impede communication.
? Adequate range of structure and vocabulary.
? Organisation and cohesion is satisfactory, on the whole.
? Register and format reasonable, although not entirely successful. Satisfactory effect on the reader.
Band 2 Inadequate attempt at the task set.
? Some major content points omitted or inadequately dealt with; some irrelevance is likely.
? Errors sometimes obscure communication, are numerous, and distract the reader. ? Limited range of structure and vocabulary.
? Content is not clearly organised or linked, causing some confusion. ? Inappropriate register and format. Negative effect on the reader. Band 1 Poor attempt at the task set.
? Notable content omissions and/or considerable irrelevance, possibly due to misinterpretation of the task set.
? Serious lack of control; frequent basic errors.
? Little evidence of structure and vocabulary required by task. ? Lack of organisation, causing a breakdown in communication. ? Little attempt at appropriate register and format. Very negative effect on the reader.
Band 0 Achieves nothing. Either fewer than 25% of the required number of words or totally illegible or totally irrelevant.

To: Erica Young Cc:
Subject: Meeting Dear Mr Young:
Thanks for your last letter! I’m very glad to be inviated to attend the meeting at your company’s head office.
But first of all, I’m apologising for not being able to go to the meeting. This is due to a error of my agenda, in fact. I have a international conference that day.
I feel sorry for my absence. I’d like to recommend my personal assistant to go to instead of me. His name is
Jim Green. I hope this will not cause you some trouble. Best wish yours Chan Bo Fun
CANDIDATE C
Generally well organised (although not concise), leading to a satisfactory effect on the reader. There are, however, some basic non-impeding errors, for example ‘a error of my agenda’, ‘cause you some trouble’. Band 3
