Answer Keys & Principles of Evaluation
Every model paper set includes an answer key and a clear principles of evaluation sheet. The evaluation notes explain how marks are assigned for map skills, source-based questions, and multi-step answers. They also clarify awarding of partial marks for logical steps and correct reasoning, even when the final statement differs.
Teachers can adopt the answer key to standardise classroom evaluation. Students benefit by checking their own answers against model responses and identifying recurring errors—factual gaps, incomplete arguments, or map labelling mistakes.
