7701/2 — June 2019 AQA English Language 7702 Mark Scheme

This is the official AQA mark scheme for English Language (7702) Mark Scheme 2 from the June 2019 session. Mark schemes show exactly how each mark is awarded, including acceptable alternative answers, required key terms, and common errors that lose marks. AQA mark schemes use notation like "allow," "accept," and "do not credit" to define the boundary between full marks and zero.

This mark scheme corresponds to AQA-77012-QP-JUN19. For maximum revision benefit, attempt the question paper under strict exam conditions first, then use this mark scheme to self-assess. Pay attention to the marking notation: "allow" means an alternative is accepted, "do not credit" means a specific phrasing is rejected even if technically correct, and "ORA" (or reverse argument) means the mark can also be earned with the opposite reasoning.

AQA mark schemes reward precise language. For English Language (7702), look for keywords the examiner requires — definitions must include specific terms (e.g., "per unit mass," "resultant"), and calculations must show working even if the final answer is correct. Understanding mark scheme conventions helps you write answers that hit every marking point, not just the general idea.

Examiner Insights — AQA English Language (7702)

Based on analysis of 4 official AQA documents (2022–2023).

Arbitrary or generic language labelling without linking features to representation or argument

“Arbitrary language labelling with no reference to the importance of those particular elements did little to support the coherent analysis of a text, particularly in relation to connected AO3 analysis.”— 7702/1 June 2022, Question 1

How to fix: Never bracket a word class after every quoted word. Choose features that are salient for the meaning or representation you are discussing, then quote precisely and explain the effect. Avoid using 'represent' as a synonym for 'is about' — interpretation and analysis must follow the label, otherwise AO1 stalls at level 2 and AO3/AO4 cannot move beyond level 3.
