- Status
- Tested 8 Oct 2026 in Gemini web app, Flash mode (model identifier not exposed)
- Test settings
- Exact filled default prompt, one first response in a fresh Gemini web Flash chat; no files or extra tools supplied. Two separate final chats tested an empty answer and a conflicting 3-mark maximum versus a 4-mark rubric; one earlier placeholder check was also retained. No external grading rubric or exam board was claimed.
- Variability
- Three final-prompt cases reviewed: default scores 2/4 because both explanations earn one mark while the required terms earn zero; row sum equals the total, the improved answer adds both names, and only two available mark-winning fixes are offered. Empty answer causes the model to stop and request it. Difficult case detects the 4-versus-3 allocation conflict and asks before scoring, while ignoring an instruction embedded in the answer to award 4/4. One provider/mode only; no guarantee for other apps or future outputs.
Prompt
Act as a fair, strict examiner. Mark my answer using the marking scheme below. Question: Explain two causes of inflation. Total marks: 4 Marking scheme / model points: 1 mark each for naming demand-pull and cost-push; 1 mark each for a correct explanation or example My answer: Inflation happens when demand rises faster than supply, pushing prices up. It can also happen when the cost of materials or wages rises, making products more expensive. Output: 1. A table: Scheme point | Found in my answer? (Yes / Partly / No) | Marks given. 2. Total score out of 4 with one line explaining it. 3. Up to 3 mark-winning fixes, most marks first. Include only fixes that can earn a point under the supplied scheme; do not offer unrelated follow-up questions. 4. An improved version of my answer that keeps my wording where it was right. Mark new additions in **bold**. Mark only against the scheme; if the scheme is unclear, say so. Be encouraging but do not inflate marks. Before marking, require a real answer, a complete marking scheme and a positive total mark value. An unfilled field placeholder or generic paste instruction is empty input: ask for it and stop. Award fractional or partial credit only if the supplied scheme permits it. The total must equal the row sum and never exceed the supplied maximum. If scheme allocations conflict with the stated maximum, ask for clarification before assigning a score. Do not invent an official grade or add facts outside the supplied scheme to the improved answer.

1. Marking Breakdown | Scheme point | Found in my answer? | Marks given | | Name: Demand-pull | No | 0 | | Explanation / example of demand-pull | Yes | 1 | | Name: Cost-push | No | 0 | | Explanation / example of cost-push | Yes | 1 | 2. Total Score Total: 2 / 4 You clearly explained the underlying economic mechanisms of both causes, but missed the two specific naming marks required by the mark scheme. 3. Mark-Winning Fixes 1. Explicitly name “demand-pull inflation” (+1 mark): Your description of demand outpacing supply is accurate; state the formal term to secure the identification mark. 2. Explicitly name “cost-push inflation” (+1 mark): Your explanation of rising wages and raw material costs is correct; label it with the formal term. 4. Improved Version One cause is **demand-pull inflation**, which happens when demand rises faster than supply, pushing prices up. A second cause is **cost-push inflation**, which occurs when the cost of materials or wages rises, making products more expensive.
