Many candidates in this topicconfuse the 1919-24 period with the 1924-29 period.Level 2Level 3Candidates will produce a series of simple statementssupported by a limited amount of accurate and relevantmaterial, though this will be generalised and not specific.Links to the question will be implicit.The writing may lack clarity and organisation, but will begenerally comprehensible. It is also likely to contain frequentgrammatical and spelling errors.Low Level 2: 7–8 marksThe qualities of Level 2 are displayed, but material is lessconvincing in its range/depth and the quality of writtencommunication does not conform.Mid Level 2: 9–10 marksThe qualities of Level 2 are displayed, but material is lessconvincing in its range/depth or the quality of writtencommunication does not conform.High Level 2: 11–12 marksThe qualities of Level 2 are securely displayed.Specific to exemplar questionA few relevant paragraphs about the question or narrativewithout explanation.
