The paper should be corrected using the following symbols, with a red pen.
1. Correct answer
2. Missing part √
3. Not connected to the topic, exceeds volume [ ]
4. Mistake in the content (underlined with a single line)
5. Meaningless, unclear text, logical problems, inaccurate use of English (underlined with a
wavy line) ∼∼∼∼∼∼
6. Grave spelling or punctuation mistake (underlined with a double line)
The sub-points given for the sub-tasks should also be written on the test paper(s).
In the case of tasks where a candidate has to choose the correct answer from among several
options, no points can be given to a candidate who has underlined or marked all of the answers.
If a specific number of elements are required in one answer and the candidate marks more than
this number of elements (but not all of them), then they must be evaluated in the order in which
they are written.
The names of persons, topographical data and concepts which are in the frame curricula can
only be evaluated if they are spelled correctly.
Extra points cannot be given.
Points cannot be subtracted for incorrect or missing answers.
The key must be followed in all circumstances, except in very special cases, the reason for
which must be explained in writing by the correcting teacher.
Scoring
Correct answer/ or part of an answer: 0.5 or 1 point (according to the key)
Incorrect answer: 0 points
Missing answer: 0 points
0.5 points can only be given where the key specifically allows for it.
Points allocated to individual parts of a task cannot be further subdivided.
When adding up the sub-points for a specific task, points must not be rounded up or down, e.g.
3.5 must be left as 3.5 and not 4 points.
The maximum number of points can be found in the left-side of the boxes under the tasks, while
the points achieved by the candidate must be entered into the right side.
The total points achieved in the short-answer tasks must be written in the appropriate
boxes of the summary table on the last page of the test booklet.
If the total of the scores achieved in the short-answer tasks is a round number, it must be
left unchanged, if the total is not a round number, it must be rounded up according to the
mathematical rules (e.g. 23.5 points should be rounded to 24 points).
Evaluating the paper when the essay questions were not chosen correctly:
- if the candidate has answered two essay-type tasks but his/her choice of the right essay
length or period is incorrect, the answer must be evaluated in a way that would give the highest
score; that is, both answers must be corrected and the one that scored higher should be
considered;
- if a candidate started working on more than two essay-type tasks, but his or her choice
of tasks was indicated unambiguously in the table printed before the tasks, the answers to the
indicated tasks must be corrected and their scores considered.
- if the candidate has completed more than two essay-type tasks, but s/he has not
indicated the choices unambiguously in the table printed before the tasks, then starting from the
completed task of the lowest number, the correctly chosen tasks must be evaluated in increasing
numerical order, which means that if the candidate has answered all questions, task 13 and 16
must be corrected and their points must be considered.
Every task that has been started will be considered as having been answered, unless the
candidate unambiguously indicates otherwise.
2. Evaluating the tasks, scoring
The essay-type questions must be evaluated using the key, which contains specific guidelines
about the criteria for evaluation and the content belonging to these. The scores achieved
according to each criterion must be written into the table under the dotted lines on the answer
sheet, and the exam points (which at intermediate level are the same as the total) must be
calculated.
0 points can be given if the candidate did not score any points for the criteria of
Description of factors influencing events…and Acquisition of information, use of
sources.
If the score for understanding of task is 0, the total points for the task can only be 0.
b) Location in space and time
In the key the description of what is required in terms of content for this criterion is marked
with the letter ‘L’.
In the short essay-task, the elements belonging to space and time (L) must be evaluated together,
while in the long essay-task they should be evaluated separately (L1 and L2). If the key lists
examples, points should be awarded for the required number of examples mentioned in the
answer or elements which are different but correct.
2 points can be given if the candidate includes the required number of correct elements in
his or her essay
1 point can be given if at least one of the required elements is missing, but at least one is
given.
0 points can be given if there are no elements of space and time, or they are incorrect.
In the case of short essay-tasks, elements of time and space can be awarded 1-1 point, for long
essays 2-2 points.
The correcting teacher indicates clearly at the relevant part of the essay the correct (Ltime,
or Lspace), or the incorrect element (underlining).
2 points can be given if at least three historically correct concepts are used in the
candidate’s essay.
1 point can be given if one or two historically correct concepts are used in the candidate’s
essay.
0 points can be given if there aren’t any historically correct concepts in the candidate’s
essay.
The correcting teacher clearly indicates in the relevant part of the essay the correct (), or the
incorrect (underlining) use of concept.
In the case of the long essay task the general (C1) and topic-specific (C2) historical
concepts must be evaluated separately. 0, 1 and 2 points can be awarded according to the
principles outlined for the short essay task, and the candidate’s essay must be corrected using
the same symbols.
For quality of discourse structure and accuracy 0, 1 or 2 points can be given both in case of
short (C2) and long (C3) essay tasks.
2 points can be given if the text is structured and well-built of clear sentences, and includes
not more than one grave spelling or grammar mistake.
1 point can be given if the text is poorly structured, lacks the right proportions, is incomplete,
or if it contains several grammar and spelling mistakes.
0 points can be given if the text is merely an outline, an incoherent set of sentences, or if the
text contains many grave grammar and spelling mistakes.
The evaluation of Acquisition of information, use of sources (marked ‘S’ in the key) and of
Description of factors influencing events, critical and problem-centred thinking (marked ‘E’ in
the key) is done according to the same principles. The content elements of the answer consist
of two parts: the reference to some fact and a statement in connection with it (any cause and
effect or other relationships relevant to the mentioned fact). Examples in brackets listed among
the content elements (content elements starting with ‘e.g.’) indicate that any of the listed
elements or different, but correct ones are also acceptable. This means that it is enough to
write down one of the examples to score maximum points. Referring to one correct element
scores 1 point, the correct relevant statement scores 2 points (statements can also be given 1
point, if the candidate’s statement is too schematic, is not focussed or inaccurate) as follows:
3 points can be given if the candidate referred to a fact correctly, and made a relevant
statement in connection with it.
2 points can be given if the candidate did not refer to a fact correctly, but made a correct
statement, or if s/he referred to a fact correctly, but his/her statement is too schematic, not
focussed, inaccurate.
1 point can be given if the candidate referred to a fact correctly, but did not make a
statement, or if s/he did not refer to the fact correctly, and his/her statement is too
schematic, not focussed, inaccurate.
0 points can be given if the candidate did not refer to any fact correctly, and made no
correct statement either.
In the key, examples of pieces of information or relationships may appear in several places, but
points can only be given for each element under one evaluation criterion.
The correcting teacher indicates clearly in the relevant part of the essay (e.g. S1 if one element
is to be found in the given section of the text; S1 if both elements are there in the given
section of the text; S1 and S1 marked separately, if the reference and the statement are not
immediately next to each other, but in two different parts of the essay) the correct, or – by
underlining- the incorrect source analyses.
Sub-points given for description of factors influencing events must be marked the same way
(e.g. E1 ).
