What Marksy checks for each Geography IA criterion

You get a mark for each IB assessment criterion below. The points under each one are what Marksy looks for in your draft. See the mark bands

Criterion A: Fieldwork question and geographic context

3 marks
  • The question is geographical, focused, and allows primary data collection.
  • It is linked to a syllabus topic or geographic theory in a way that allows hypotheses.
  • One or more locational maps follow mapping conventions.

Criterion B: Method(s) of investigation

3 marks
  • Methods collect evidence relevant to the question and hypotheses.
  • Instruments and sampling techniques are used correctly.
  • The primary data is reliable and good enough for analysis.

Criterion C: Quality and treatment of information collected

6 marks
  • Data is relevant and sufficient to answer the question.
  • Presentation techniques suit each type of data.
  • Graphs, tables, and maps follow conventions such as titles and labels.

Criterion D: Written analysis

8 marks
  • Descriptive and, where appropriate, statistical techniques suit the data.
  • Trends, patterns, and anomalies are explained, not just listed.
  • The analysis allows the question to be answered.

Criterion E: Conclusion

2 marks
  • The answer is explicit.
  • It uses the main findings.
  • Its certainty matches the evidence.

Criterion F: Evaluation

3 marks
  • Methods, question, data presentation, and choice of location are evaluated.
  • The most important strengths and weaknesses are explained.
  • Improvements and their likely impact are explained.
