| Criterion | Marks | The marker asks |
|---|---|---|
| A Lengua (language) | 12 | How well do you handle written Spanish: range and accuracy? |
| B Mensaje (message) | 12 | Are your ideas relevant, developed, clear and organised? |
| C Comprensión conceptual | 6 | Do the text type, register, tone and conventions fit the task? |
