Cambridge IGCSE Marine Science – M1 End of Unit Assessment + Mark Scheme

Finished M1: The Earth and its Oceans? Find out what they actually know.

I've created this 30-mark End of Unit Assessment for Cambridge IGCSE Marine Science, covering key knowledge and skills from M1: The Earth and its Oceans.

Designed to take approximately 30 minutes, it's ideal for checking understanding at the end of the module, identifying gaps in knowledge and giving learners experience of answering written, exam-style questions.

The assessment covers a range of M1 content, including oceans, latitude and longitude, continental movement, tides, plate boundaries, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.

What's included?

✓ 30-mark M1 End of Unit Assessment

✓ Full 6-page mark scheme

✓ Clear marking guidance throughout

✓ Suggested answers and alternative acceptable responses

✓ Indicative grade thresholds to help learners understand their performance

✓ Printable PDF files

✓ Instant digital download

The accompanying mark scheme has been designed so that teachers, tutors, home educators and learners can mark the assessment confidently, with individual marking points and guidance on acceptable alternative answers.

Perfect for...

• End-of-module assessment

• Home education

• Tutoring

• Independent study

• Identifying gaps before moving on to M2

• Revision and exam preparation

• Practising written responses rather than just retrieval questions

I also recommend using the three-colour technique included on the assessment: complete the first attempt without notes in black or blue, use green to answer anything you needed help with, then use red when marking and correcting. When you return to the topic later, you can immediately see which areas need the most revision.

Please note: The grade thresholds included are intended as a guide only and are based on published 2023 grade boundaries. Grade boundaries vary between exam series and the thresholds shown do not guarantee a particular grade in an official examination.
