Summary of Marks

Note: Section D questions 16–18 each carry 6 marks (3 matches × 2 marks). However, to maintain the total of 40 marks across 20 questions, the marking scheme is adjusted as follows: Questions 16–18 are each worth 2 marks (awarded for completing all three matches correctly, or proportionally). The total marks for the paper remain 40.

Revised Section D marking: Award 2 marks per question (16, 17, 18) if all three matches are correct. Award 1 mark if two out of three matches are correct. Award 0 marks if fewer than two matches are correct.
