• This new marking system contains 7 rather than 10 levels.
• Each level is characterized by a performance descriptor, a grade and a definition of general
attainment.
• All ES Syllabuses now contain subject-specific attainment descriptors. It is important that these
attainment descriptors be used in planning for teaching, learning, assessment and reporting.
• A candidate is deemed to pass at 5 (Sufficient – Grade E). A 5 can only be awarded where the
requirements of the relevant attainment descriptor have been achieved.
