Marking Scheme
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.
The maximum total mark is 90.
The mark for each question is given in the margin at the beginning of the question.
There is a maximum of 15 marks for each Section.
- One whole Section per marker and double-checker.
Some lengthy (more than 2 pages) Sections may be divided for two marker-pairs.
- Get the hang of the full range of answers by reading through a few papers with your co-marker before you start your marking.
You can mark together, or after establishing a consensus on how to mark for thoroughness and consistency, act as each other’s double-checkers by marking half of the test and then swapping the pile.
We strongly recommend whenever in doubt, consult your marking partner and, if appropriate, one of the designated Moderators – Anu or Dubravka.
Please develop your own marking/correcting notation system (using +/-, x/0, √ marks), underlining, comments etc. to ease double-checking and sample marking.
These answers are not exhaustive. Credit any relevant answer.
Check whether the answer continues outside the designated area, in the margins or as clearly marked on blank pages.
No credits will be given to answers in the Resource Booklet.
The Test uses two marking systems: point and level marking.
Half marks can only be given where indicated as the total of 90 marks will yield only 40% of the total olympiad result.
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.
- Put your final 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 your numbers clearly.
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 (Anu and Dubravka) will sample the marking of all teams.
