Website for Property Letting Agents
December 2015 – Sample Assignment
Marking Scheme
Markers are advised that, unless a task specifies that an answer be provided in a
particular form, then an answer that is correct (factually or in practical terms) must be
given the available marks. If there is doubt as to the correctness of an answer, the relevant
NCC Education materials should be the first authority.
This marking scheme has been prepared as a guide only to markers and there will
frequently be many alternative responses which will provide a valid answer.
Each candidate’s script must be fully annotated with the marker’s comments (where
applicable) and the marks allocated for each part of the tasks.
