So i know English answers are marked by pclm, but what exactly are the examiners looking for in each of these areas? Thanks in advance

P is Clarity of Purpose (answer the question); C is Coherence of Delivery (structure your answer sensibly); L is Language and M is Mechanics (spelling and grammar). 90% of the marks for any question is divided evenly between the first three criteria, and the final 10% is assigned to Mechanics - taken from http://pclm.weebly.com/

P - answer the question that's asked correctly e.g. if they say 'write a speech on the healthcare system in this country' - did you write a speech or is it just a waffled essay?
C - is there a nice flow to your work and is it well structured - use of paragraphs, constructed with nice flow from one paragraph to the next etc.
L - think you'll understand that!
M - mechanics such as spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.
