1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
questions:
COGNITIVE WEIGHTING OF
HISTORICAL SKILLS

• Extract evidence from sources.
• Selection and organisation of relevant 30%
LEVEL 1
information from sources. (15)
• Define historical concepts/terms.
• Interpretation of evidence from sources.
• Explain information gathered from 40%

• Analyse evidence from the sources.
• Interpret and evaluate evidence from

• Engage with sources to determine its
usefulness, reliability, bias and 30%
LEVEL 3
limitations. (15)
• Compare and contrast interpretations
and perspectives presented in sources
and draw independent conclusions.
1.2 The information below indicates how source-based questions are
assessed:
• In the marking of source-based questions credit needs to be given to
any other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or
examples.
• In the allocation of marks emphasis should be placed on how the
requirements of the question have been addressed.
• In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that
need to be addressed) as well as the level of the question are
indicated in italics.
• When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
be credited for any relevant answers.
• Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what
extent’ questions in order for any marks to be awarded.
1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions
• Use a tick (✓) for each correct answer
• Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two
reasons and is given two marks each (✓✓ ✓✓); (1 x 2) which
translates to one reason and is given two marks (✓✓)
• If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks (✓✓✓✓)

Paragraph question
Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content
and structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding
a mark. The following steps must be used when assessing a response to
a paragraph question:
• Read the paragraph and place a bullet ( . ) at each point within the text
where the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the
question.
• Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate
has been able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
• At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate
has been awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1, 2 or 3) as
indicated in the holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g.
___________ ˖ __________________________ ˖ _________________
_________________ ˖ __________________________ ˖ ___________
√√√√ Level 2
Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph
• Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on
the right-hand bottom margin e.g.
32
50
• Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back
cover of the answer script.
2. ESSAY QUESTIONS
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:
• Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner.
They need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so
that they are able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an
effective argument to answer the question posed. It is essential that an
essay has an introduction, a coherent and balanced body of evidence
and a conclusion.
2.2 Marking of essay questions
• Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided
by the textbooks in use at the particular centre.
• Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or
conclusion than those included in a specific essay marking guideline
for a specific essay.
• When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
be credited for any other relevant answers.

2.3 Global assessment of the essay
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
teacher to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the
component parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer
an individual opinion by using selected factual evidence to support an
argument. The learner will not be required to simply regurgitate ‘facts’ in order
to achieve a high mark. This approach discourages learners from preparing
‘model’ answers and reproducing them without taking into account the
specific requirements of the question. Holistic marking of the essay credits
learners’ opinions supported by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike
content-based marking, does not penalise language inadequacies as the
emphasis is on the following:
• The construction of argument
• The appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument
• The learner’s interpretation of the question.
2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay
2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.
2.4.2 During the reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a
relevant introduction (indicated by a bullet in the marking
guideline/memorandum), each of the main points/aspects that is
properly contextualised (also indicated by bullets in the marking
guideline/memorandum) and a relevant conclusion (indicated by a
bullet in the marking guideline/memorandum) e.g. in an answer where
there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks.
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay.
Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of
argument/making a major point.
P
Each paragraph should include a point that sustains a major
point (line of argument) that was made in the introduction.
Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail
E what the main point is all about and how it relates to the
question posed (line of argument).
Example: The candidates should answer the question by
selecting content that is relevant to the line of argument.
E
Relevant examples should be given to sustain the line of
argument.
Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is
L
sustained throughout the essay and is written coherently.

2.5 The matrix
2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays.
In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should
be used. When assessing the essay note both the content and
presentation. At the point of intersection of the content and
presentation based on the seven competency levels, a mark should
be awarded.
(a) The first reading of essays will be to determine to what extent
the main aspects have been covered and to allocate the
content level (on the matrix).
