Instructions for Markers
- Check if the iGeo student numbers are on each sheet (on odd pages) before dividing up the Test.
- This test consists of 6 Sections.
- One whole Section per marker and double-checker. One Section per marker-pair who also perform double-checking for their Section. Some lengthy (more than 2 pages) Sections may be divided for two marker-pairs. The layout of the Marking Scheme follows this logic as much as possible.
- Check whether the answer continues outside the designated area, on the margins or as clearly marked on blank pages. No credits will be given to answers in the Resource Booklet.
- The maximum total mark is 90. The mark for each question is given in the left margin at the beginning of the question.
There is a maximum of 15 marks for each Section. - Get the hang of the full range of answers by reading through a few papers with your co-marker before you start your marking.
- These answers are not exhaustive. Credit any relevant answer.
- The Test uses two marking systems: point and level marking.
- Half marks can only be given where indicated.
- Mark only the required number of answers (reasons, examples, etc.). For instance, if the question asks for 2 reasons and there is more than 2, only the first 2 reasons should be marked.
- Please develop your own marking/correcting system (using +/-, x/0, √ marks), underlining, comments etc. to ease double-checking and sample marking.
- Put your mark next to the question number in the column on the left – it eases the work of the person who has to put the numbers into MS Excel.
- Please write down any inconsistencies of the Marking Scheme and additional answers or answers not accepted and hand them in after marking to improve the final Marking Scheme.
- The Moderators (Sue and Anu) will sample the marking of all teams.
