Scheme but conveys the meaning such answers should be given full weightage.
2.
Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be done according to ones own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.
3.
If a question has parts, marks be awarded in the right hand side for each part. Marks awarded for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written in the left hand margin and circled.
4.
If a question does not have any parts, marks be awarded in the left hand margin.
5.
If a student has attempted an extra choice question, answer of the question deserving more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out.

While evaluating the answer book it should be remembered that Social Science course at this stage is a part of general education and therefore does not require a specialized study of the four subjects - History, Geography, Political Science, Economics which comprise it.

Except for questions which require recall of information, the responses of students be evaluated in terms of the understanding that they reflect. Listing down of points without any explanation may not be proper indication of the students understanding.
