Need some clarification (if known) about how the whole assessing scheme works. For text response essays, how does our essays get marked? Are the essays (i.e: Year of Wonders) given to assessors who have been working with Year of Wonders, or the Christmas Carol essays given to assessors working on TCC, etc?
What if you do an essay on a "not well known" book from the list, then most examiners wont pick up on most of the evidence given...How does our depth get assessed then?
Im guessing assessors read every book on the list at least once, but im also guessing if they do they haven't read most in a very long time to be able to understand the quality of the evidence...So just a little unsure of it.
Thanks

examiners all have particular books they mark, none mark every book on the list, so therefore shouldn't matter 'how well known it is'

Section A: mark out of 20 [Split between two assessors; both give a score out of 10, adds to 20]
Section B: mark out of 20 [Split between two assessors; both give a score out of 10, adds to 20]
Section C: mark out of 20 [Split between two assessors; both give a score out of 10, adds to 20]
All evenly weighted :)
Assessors will mark essays based on the books they taught/have read. You will not get an assessor who doesn't have an insight to the novel, both assessors who mark your essays will have read/viewed the text/film
