This is my second set model answers and accompanying exam paper for the 2025 CIE IGCSE exam on **KQ2 (The League of Nations) **
This resource includes:
a fully formatted source paper,
5 model answers for the questions on the paper (listed below) and
a BONUS EXTRA MODEL ANSWER.
Whereas my other exam paper and set of models focused on the League’s effectiveness as a peace keeping body throughout the 1920s and 30s (found here), this resource focuses on 'How successful was the League of Nations in the 1920s?’
This lesson has been produced following the completion of the New 2024 onwards IGCSE specification training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
My last exam cohort of 91 students gained an average A grade overall at IGCSE, with 91% achieving an A*-A. Paper 2 was their strongest paper.
How can I use this resource?
This resource can be used as a preparation lesson in advance of a mock exam or even for the mock exam itself since the exam paper is formatted to replicate the real IGCSE exam. The model answers can be used for students to peer or self assess in order to speed up the marking process or as exemplars to be given alongside teacher feedback to cross compare with their own to better identify areas of strength and weakness in their own answers.
Additionally, the models could be drip fed to students via in class activities to revise the demands of each question, and consolidate their understanding of how to hit every mark on the mark scheme.
