Level: Secondary 2
Paper: Practice Paper (Map, Graph & Data Skills)
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Map Reading (12 marks)
Q1 [1]
Answer: 03 04
Teaching note: Read easting (horizontal, 03) first, then northing (vertical, 04). Common mistake: writing northing first.
Q2 [2]
Answer: 123 234
Working: Base easting 12 + 3 tenths = 123; base northing 23 + 4 tenths = 234. Six-figure splits each square into 10.
Marking: 1 for easting 123, 1 for northing 234.
Q3 [1]
Answer: Lake
Teaching note: At easting 05, northing 02 the symbol is a lake.
Q4 [2]
Answer: (any two) symbols meaning, colours used, scale, north arrow.
Marking: 1 mark each.
Q5 [1]
Answer: South-east (from 02 05 to 04 03 = east + south)
Teaching note: Easting increases (east), northing decreases (south).
Q6 [2]
Answer: 4 km
Working: Paper distance 4 cm × 1 km/cm = 4 km.
Marking: 1 for 4 cm measured, 1 for converted.
Q7 [3]
Answer: Easting before northing is standard so locations are unique and consistent; matches coordinate (x,y) order; avoids confusion.
Marking: 1 each for standard convention, coordinate analogy, avoids error.
Section B: Graph & Data Interpretation (16 marks)
Q8 [1]
Answer: 35,000 (or 35 thousand)
Teaching note: Read 2010 bar height.
Q9 [3]
Answer: Rainfall decreased steadily from 200 mm in Jan to 70 mm in Jun.
Marking: 1 trend, 1 start figure, 1 end figure.
Teaching: Cite stats from graph.
Q10 [3]
Working: Increase = 64 – 40 = 24 percentage points.
% increase = (24 / 40) × 100 = 60%.
Answer: 60%.
Marking: 1 diff, 1 division, 1 final %.
Q11 [1]
