Answers

1
10.Which of the following elements is excluded from the 3,000-word count limit for the Chemistry IA report?
◦D. The explanation of methodological weaknesses.
◦C. Data tables, graphs, equations, and references.
◦A. The description of the methodology.
◦B. The justification of the conclusion.
2
11.When marking IA, how is the overall criterion mark decided if work is between two descriptors?
◦A. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the two descriptors.
◦C. Re-read both, choose descriptor that best fits student's work.
◦B. Award the lower mark to avoid over-penalizing.
◦D. Award the higher mark to encourage the student.
3
7.For Chemistry IA using databases, simulations, or models, what's a crucial report requirement?
◦B. Identify source, establish reliability, provide screenshots.
◦D. Exempt from data sufficiency, as collection is rapid.
◦C. Focus solely on visual representations from molecular modelling.
◦A. Only free databases are allowed; paywall sources are acceptable.
4
