Marking Scheme For The Descriptive Essay

It evaluates essays based on four criteria: content, organization and cohesion, structures and vocabulary, and register and style. Each criterion contains descriptors worth various points that are used to assess the essay at one of five grading levels from excellent to poor achievement. The total score is calculated by multiplying the 25 points across all descriptors by two.
