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 pair of markers.
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 (especially for level marking), 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 – Dubravka or Mark.Please develop your own marking/correcting notation system (using +/-, x/0, √ marks), underlining, comments etc. to ease double-checking and sample marking.
These answers here 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, revisions and additional answers or answers not accepted on the Notes page at the end of the Booklet (e-mail is preferred) and hand them in after marking to improve the final Marking Scheme that will be uploaded to show the actual marking.
The Moderators (Dubravka and Mark) will sample the marking of all teams.

Условие
Study Resource Booklet Table A1: Population data – selected years.
(a) Draw a graph which shows the Age Dependency Ratio for Countries A, C, D and F. [4 т.]
(b) Describe the trends shown in the graph. [2 т.]
Решение
(a) Answer (point marking):
0.5 marks each for correct title, correct labelling of the horizontal axis, correct labelling of the vertical axis (with appropriate scale), a key. (2 marks) (Note - the horizontal axis will need to show a five-year interval for the period 2010 to 2015)
0.5 marks for each line drawn correctly. (2 marks)
(Note – a line graph is the most suitable graph to the information required. If you think that an alternative graph is appropriate, mark it accordingly. Otherwise, only give marks to aspects that are correct.)
(b) Answer (point marking – 0.5 marks for each correct way):
Countries D and F demonstrate a similar trend (0.5 marks) as both have experienced a significant decreasing age dependency ratio (0.5 marks)
(Note – instead of the point above, students may say
- Country D’s age dependency ratio had a steady decrease from 72% in 1990 to 52% in 2015.
- Country F’s age dependency ratio decreased from 52% in 1990 to 35% in 2010 but then it increased between 2010 and 2015 to 37% (.0.5 marks)
The age dependency ratio for Country A has remained relatively constant averaging 50% - with only slight fluctuations (0.5 marks)
Country C has experienced a significant increase in the age dependency ratio from 43% in 1990 to 64% in 2015.
