Cambridge International AS & A Level Digital Media & Design 9481 (for examination from 2019)
Example Candidate Responses
Introduction
The main aim of this material is to exemplify standards for those teaching Cambridge International AS & A Level Digital Media & Design (9481), and to show how different levels of candidates’ performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject’s curriculum and assessment objectives.
The candidate responses have been chosen from June 2019 submissions to exemplify a range of responses. For each Component, the response is annotated with a clear explanation of where and why marks were awarded or omitted. This is followed by examiner comments on how the work could have been improved. In this way, it is possible for you to understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their submissions. There is also a list of common mistakes candidates made for each Component.
The material provides illustrative examples of candidate work with examiner commentary. These help teachers to assess the standard required to achieve marks beyond the guidance of the mark scheme and the syllabus. The questions papers, mark schemes and syllabus used here are available to download from the School Support Hub.
