Example Candidate Responses Cambridge IGCSE™ / IGCSE (9–1) History 0470 / 0977 Version 1 Paper 2 Cambridge O Level History 2147 The main aim of this booklet is to exemplify standards for those teaching Cambridge IGCSE / IGCSE (9-1) History 0470 / 0977 and Cambridge O Level History 2147, and to show how different levels of candidates’ performance (high, middle or low) relate to the subject’s curriculum and assessment objectives. In this booklet, candidate responses have been chosen from March 2020 scripts to exemplify a range of answers. For each question, the response is annotated with a clear explanation of where and why marks were awarded or omitted. This is followed by examiner comments on how the answer could have been improved. In this way, it is possible for you to understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their answers. There is also a list of common mistakes candidates made in their answers, where relevant. This document provides illustrative examples of candidate work with some examiner commentary. These help teachers assess the standard required to achieve marks beyond the guidance of the mark scheme. Therefore, in some circumstances, such as where exact answers are required, there will not be much comment. The questions and mark schemes used here are available to download from the School Support Hub.
