Work based assignment - bench marker: Good Pass
Bench markers illustrate the different standards of a learner’s work that attract different marks. The different standards are typically graded as:
• borderline referral:40 – 49 %
• borderline pass: 50 – 59%
• section referral and good pass: 60%+
Between them, these isolate the threshold of sufficiency of learner evidence (ie the difference between a borderline referral and a borderline pass) in typical submissions.
The good pass gives an example of the kind of extra evidence that is needed to attract higher marks by exceeding the requirements of assessment criteria. The mark sheet provided at the end gives the acceptable range of marks that would be appropriate to this standard of submission. In practice, a single mark must be awarded, not a range.
