In SECTION A, if a candidate has answered all four questions on seen poems, mark only the first two.
In SECTIONS B and C, if a candidate has answered two contextual or two essay questions, mark the first one and ignore the second. If a candidate has answered all four questions, mark only the first answer in each section, provided that one contextual and one essay has been answered.
If a candidate gives two answers where the first one is wrong and the next one is correct, mark the first answer and ignore the next.
